Discover X-Socks Benefits with The Discovery Range
Apr/100
OK, so you’ve been using cheap sports socks forever and even though your feet get hot, sweaty and develop blisters that’s OK because your socks were cheap. Right? Well there is a better way forward, a better path to chose and being shown the route is not that expensive at all.
If you’ve heard of X-Socks but thought they’re WAY TOO EXPENSIVE then let me tell you a little secret. In fact, even if you haven’t heard of X-Socks before and you’re looking for some great value sports socks then I’ll tell you as well.
It’s not actually a secret of course, it’s just that with all the hype surrounding many of our socks the more simple ones sometimes get overlooked. I can tell from the web stats that the expensive socks are clicked on more often, but there are a number a variables that can explain that. Here, I want to introduce to you a range of X-Socks Sports Socks that offer supreme excellent value, perform well and offer a brilliant inroduction to the X-Socks way…
The X-Socks Discovery Range
The Discovery range offers high performance running socks, biking socks and ski socks an incredible value. This range of socks have all the essential X-Socks technical features that you’d find on the more expensive models. However, they are for discovering what X-Socks can do for you and your sport performance. So they’re not intended to be used for extreme hardcore activity, for example you probably wouldn’t want to run the London Marathon wearing the X-Socks Run Discovery Socks but you’d most likely choose the Sky Run or Run Performance models which over more padding to cope with the longer distances.
I hope you get the idea behind the X-Socks Discovery Range of Sports Socks because they really do offer excellent value and performance, the investment is small and you get to experience what X-Socks can do for you. They last well too (as long as you care for your socks), I still use my Mountain Biking Discovery socks that I have had for two years.
Let me tell you briefly now about each sock in the discovery range:
Bike Discovery Socks
The Bike Discovery Socks from X-Socks are currently less than £8 a pair and features the X-Cross Bandage, a special forefoot protector, and the AirConditioning Channel designed to remove warm air from your foot and suck in cool air from around you – these features go a long way to keep your feet cool and sweat free and thus reduce the possibility of blisters. This sock offers sensational value for the money.

Mountain Biking Discovery Socks
Here is a link to an updated picture of this model: Mountain Biking Discovery
This pair are designed as an introduction to the demanding sport of mountain biking and are slightly more robust that Bike Discovery and they also offer more shin protection and more padding. At only £10.50 right now you need them if you’re into moutain biking and still use cheap cotton socks.

Run Discovery Socks
Either you’re new to running and you need to get some decent socks but you’re not sure if you can stick with the activity OR you’re an experienced runner and you’re using cheap cotton socks and you make do with blistered feet and hot spots. Either way you need to check out the Run Discovery Socks from X-Socks, they offer all the essential protection and advanced technology from X-Socks to help keep your feet free of sweat and reduce blisters or even complete eliminate blisters. Less than £8 for a pair – you’d be silly not to at least give them a try.

Ski Discovery and Ski Discovery for Children
I know it’s April but I need to tell you still about the Ski Discovery Socks. I have had customers tell me how much the LOVE X-Socks Ski Socks, and that’s across the range right from Discovery up to Ski Metal. It is essential to have decent ski socks otherwise your time on the slopes will just be plain grim and if you’re a newcomer to the sport of skiing you’re unlikely to go back for another week just to experience the same pain and general unpleasantness – and this is very sad.
Skiing can be such fun and exhillarating but you absolutely must wear decent socks to improve your comfort, performance and perception of the activity. The Ski Discovery Socks offer all the essential X-Socks technologies and excellent warmth, you be warm and blister free.

I hope this has been some help and I really believe that if you give X-Socks Discovery a chance, you’ll be hooked and blister free.

Recent Stock Changes and Price Increase
Jan/100
Hello Everyone and Happy New Year to you, there is good new, bad news and then good news again.
Firstly I just want to say that we are sorry for any delays over the Christmas and New Period – the warehouse was overwhelmed and orders just took a little longer than usual to dispatch. Then of course we had all that snow which caused delivery problems with couriers and Royal Mail and then of course the backlog of orders. Now, however, I think we are back to the good times.
Good News: the size / colour variants have been updated on the web site so as to reflect stock limitations. I have removed variants where there is no current stock – all stock should be replenished on February 20th when all variants will be back online except for those models that are being discontinued or replaced with an updated model. I will inform you of all these in due course.
Bad News: Economy / exchange rates / Manufacturers / etc / etc / have all meant that our own prices have increased and the suggested retail prices have also increased so, sadly, the web site reflects these changes too.
Good News: to compensate a little for the price increase I have seen to it that you get more discount now for buying more socks. The quantity discounts have been increased now to these…

Annual Stock Taking – Yawn
Jan/102
Hi everyone, I am very sorry to say that more delays are on the cards for your orders. The warehouse is on stock taking week and we can not dispatch orders until, most likely, at least Monday January 25th. I know this is frustrating, especially after the delivery problems of Christmas and then our break until New Year and then the problems and delays caused by the snow that the country couldn’t manage but there is nothing we can do about it I am afraid. Almost all other stores will be in the same situation.
We do of course have a small stock of socks in our office which we can dispatch from but this is reducing fast but could mean that your socks would arrive in the usual timescale. However, most orders will need to come from our warehouse and there will be a delay.
Do not let this stop you from ordering unless you need them for the coming weekend in which case you will need to send us an email to make the enquiry about possible delivery date.
Once again I am sorry for this but it does happen at least once a year for the majority of shops and warehouses.
Any questions you need to ask please just email us on james at buyxsocks dot com
And, we’re back in the room…
Nov/090
And we're back in the room
So, I don’t know what happened there but somehow time has past me by but now things are good and I’ve got some great plans for X-Socks and even X-Bionic clothing.
I must say “Sorry” to those people who haven’t yet received your chosen e-books but you can simply login to your account area and download the e-book from there. And also a BIG ‘SORRY’ to those who have submitted reviews over the past few months expecting to be crowned the WINNER for each month. I will get back on to this and get awarding.
Being truthful the slowdown in consumer spending has had an effect on my sales but nothing that would cause too many nightmares. This is certainly one advantage to being an internet only store however it still causes concern and hasn’t allowed me to grow the shop in to something with more power and more internet prominence. The main problem right now and over the last few weeks has been the Postal Strike, certainly a few weeks before the first strike took place people started to lose confidence and there was a period with very few sales and now with the second strike at the beginning of this week and the third strike to take place soon my business has suffered badly.
The disadvantage of being a small business is that we don’t have the resources to pay the large fees set by courier companies. I would very much like to avoid postal strikes and other unreliabilities that might arise from using Royal Mail but then I would have to charge a high postal service fee to you and / or make all orders subject to a minimum order value – both of which I don’t want to do.
However, if customers are happy to pay for a postal service then I would like to hear from you, please either comment here or email me
Smart Compression for More Energy
Jul/090
Long Socks Are Cool, It’s Official!
X-Socks Speed Metal Energizer Socks
However, perhaps more importantly I’ve got two new X-Socks models that feature Smart Compression which will give you more energy.
The Speed Metal Energizer Running Socks
Ok, I admit, this really is at the top end of the market and is expensive but the technology, R&D and testing that have been employed have produced a seriously effective pair of socks that will keep your feet cool in mega hot weather and give your more engery. They’ll probably even make you run faster ;o)
The Speed Metal Energizers use many X-Socks Technologies to ensure that warm moist air is removed from your feet and replaced with cooler air. The specially developed yarn, XITANIT, actually reflects heat from around and draws heat away from your feet. Your feet will be cool in the heat and you really will notice the difference. If you are a beginner runner then you’ll probably not have a need for these socks, however if you are even a little bit experienced and if you’re running in the heat then you’ll know how important it is to keep your feet cool.
=> Go get the Speed Metal Energizer Running Socks
The Trekking Energizer Trekking Socks
X-Socks Trekking Energizer Socks
The second new pair of X-Socks available right now is the Trekking Energizer Trekking Socks. These offer the same excellent as many of the top class trekking x-socks as well as the Smart Compression to give you more energy.
Your feet are kept cool and dry, your feet are well cushioned where they need to be and supported around the ankle. You’ll not get blisters and they’ll last for years.

Prices
Speed Metal Energizers are £33.50 for a single pair.

They are both at the top of the socks in the market are are highly priced but X-Socks really do last for years and at my shop you have the opportunity to take advantage of quantity discounts
Cheers,
James.
Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes..and save more
May/090
Not to worry, it’s all good. I have just modified the ‘colour & size’ drop down boxes for all socks where there is a colour choice. The drop down box on any given product page now give you the choice of ‘Any Colour’.
Why? Well, I’d get orders in and notice from our own stock we have to order some more in and you guys would have to wait for the socks to arrive. Now, with this new ‘any colour’ option it is more likely that I’d be able to post out your socks sooner – so if you’re really not that concerned about the colour of your sports socks then please choose the ‘Any Colour’ option when choosing your size and colour.
There are actually two advantages for you:
- You could receive your order quicker because I could fulfill orders with different colours
- You actually benefit from the quantity discounts on each sock. Previously, to get the quantity discounts when buying multiple pairs of the same model of sock in the same size you had to choose the same colour. Now you can get the benefit by choosing the Any Colour option.
Have fun
(of course, there is the chance you could receive different colours or all the same colour – it just depends on what is available)
Cheers,
James.

Winner Of the April Free Sock Competition
May/090
I have just announced the winner of my monthly competition. This month the winner of the Free Sock Competition is Ian Greaves. Ian bought some socks from us in October 2008 and has used them during his introduction to running, being a beginner he purchased the Run Discovery socks which were a perfect choice.
A perfect choice because being a beginner to the activity it makes sense to be careful with what your spending and also the feature set of the Discovery range is perfect for the level of activity that a beginner might be experiencing.
Here is an excerpt from Ian’s review:
These babies were the cheapest addition to my running wardrobe but they are by far the piece of kit I would not be without
Read the rest of Ian’s review on the X-Socks Run Discovery Socks page here just scroll to the bottom where the Customer Reviews are.
Ian has plans on running greater distances and as such might be looking for some X-Socks higher up the range to cope with the greater demands the feet deal with when on longer distances.
Well done Ian and your free pair will be on their way soon.
Have Fun
James.
