Recommend me some Running Socks...

...as the title says looking to buy comfortable running socks - as my runs are getting longer my feet are getting damp/sore so on the lookout for a good running socks, ones that are comfortable, dry etc... Thanks!

I'm very fond of my injinji socks but they are proving impossible to get in ireland. I know a couple of canadian runners who switch to thorlo socks when the temperatures go down.

I use Hilly Twinskin, which I buy at Alfie Hales Intersport in Waterford. I find them dead comfy as there's two layers to them, providing cushioning and more important anti-blister(ness). They're pretty good at wicking moisture away too. Cost about a tenner I think....

I used Injinji Nuwool (not CoolMax) last year on a 250km run over 6 days - highly recommended - 1 pair.

I tried the CoolMax version but i found that I got friction hot spots from them, my friends did use the coolmax ones sucessfully though.

I use the 1000 mile ones...not dry when you trounce through puddles and the like but in dry weather they're comfy and keep your feet blister free. Very hard to get my size though. :mad:

As a matter of interest, where can you buy those injinji socks in Ireland, I might give them a go out of curiosity?

I find the light walking socks you get from time to time in ALDI etc are ideal for Irish winter running. A lot of the socks on sale are just not warm enough and are more suited to Irish summers etc.

I usually wear what ever i can find at the time, problem is i usually lose my good pairs.. Today ran in a pair from lidl..did the job, but once i up the miles i'll make sure ot have some 1000 miles.

I found the twin skin ones good, stepped in a few puddles but they dried out quick enough.

I grab the Nike ones on the stand at John Buckley's. I've used Nike for years and never did I have a problem, heels, toes, blisters...nothing!

I've used those 1000 mile ones before and in my opinion I don't think much of them, also I've used the 1000 mile gloves and they started tearing at the seams in well under 1000 miles (perhaps I should wear them on my hands:D)
