Running socks

    Hi all

    Struggling with ankle slippage for a while no matter what brand I get and my shoe size is correct. Even tried double socks today.

    Is there thick socks that emphasise on the ankle/heel that is thicker to prevent slippage or is there any heel cushion inserts?

    1000 mile ankle socks are what I use. Have never let me down

    +1 for 1000 mile, they are the best by a long way.

    Balega "hidden comfort" - bought them after reading about them on DC Rainmaker's website, wouldn't use anything else now.
    The 1000 mile socks are ok, the double lining on the ones i have though isnt as comfortable for me as the Balega socks.

    The multi-functional 3D dots will stimulate blood flow, absorb vibrations, protect tendons and muscles, prevent slipping and help extract water

    I have these too. Definitely find them way better than the 1000 miles. Not a fan of the double lining

    Multiple ones over the years, - most recently Wiggle, Amazon/co.uk/com/de , Sportsdirect, whatever is cheapest at the time of purchase. They are expensive but your feet will thank you for investing in them.
