Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

I am wondering whether to invest 20 of my English pounds on a pair of these - hoping they will keep my tootsies a bit more dry and toastie than they normally are on the fells in the cold and wet....

worried they won't feel comfy :-/

They're not like normal socks (in comparison, they're a bit like wearing bags on your feet), but I wear thin Sealskinz a lot in the winter, for hiking and cycling, and absolutely love them.

And that is all I need to know! I have a £10 voucher for Bourne Sports so they'll only cost me a tenner :-) skips off to spend my winnings ;-)

Might need them if a certain race isn't filled by the time I'm home Sunday :-)

Had 2 or 3 pairs, and always had wet feet on first use. A few others I know experienced the same, but then heard plenty others say only good things

Prefer a merino wool sock if feet are going to get wet

I use merino wool socks now but I get chilblains really bad and thought wet feet get colder than dry feet... :-/

Got something to say?
