If you didn’t know about the competition it’s quite simple. You write a review about some socks on www.buyXsocks.com and at the end of each month I read the reviews for that month and award the ‘best’ review a free pair of X-Socks. You’ve got to be in it to win it so go to www.buyXsocks.com and get a review written during June and give yourself the chance to be a winner.

Have Fun.

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

The winner for the October 2008 Free Sock Comp is: Ron Parker and here is his review of the Trekking Extra Warm Socks

---

I have used Smartwool socks up to now because there weren’t any real alternatives until these.
Comfort and fit, like all x socks is superb and the clincher for these socks are the raised sections on the top of the foot and the ankle which allow the sock huge flexibility to bend without rucking up. Look at the socks you use. Put them on and bend your foot. Do you get wrinkles on top of your foot and around your ankle? You don’t with these socks. This gives longer term comfort and less rubbing within your boot.
Oh, did I mention that they’re pretty warm too?

Congratulations to Ron, I’ll email him later today to give him the good news. I chose Ron’s review because he hit the nail right on the head when describing one of the advantages of the Trekking Extra Warm Socks over conventional outdoor socks.

Here are a couple of the others:

Returning to running after an injury meant that I wanted to do everything I could to ensure i stayed injury free and so of course attention has to be paid to the feet. Whilst suitable trainers are of course essential one should never underestimate the difference a pair of socks makes! Having tried various other well known branded running socks in my so far short running life, my quest continued to find the perfect sock for me and so i turned to x-socks which were slightly more expensive than others on the market. But wow you certainly get what you pay for and they really do do exactly what they say they do. The socks are labeled L and R and so you know that the socks technology is tailored specifically for each foot and from the minute you put them on you will instantly feel the difference compared to other socks. The added cushioning around the ankle gave me extra confidence when running and every run is a blister free and extremely comfortable one!

Jo Hesketh on the Run Energizer (Compression) Socks

I wore these socks in a half marathon at the weekend & they helped me along to a PB! My legs feel good today, better than I would usually expect after a hard race! Will definately be using them in my training up to the London Marathon 2009!

Well done to everyone that entered, well done to the runners up and well done to Ron.

Sometime this coming week I will read through the reviews a choose a winner. There are no criteria to be the winning review, I just decide which one I like best – simple and easy.

All is not lost! You can win yourself a brilliant Christmas present by submitting customer reviews during December. Once again the best review will win a pair of X-Socks.

Have Fun,

James.

He hasn’t yet chosen his free pair but when that’s happened I’ll let you know as well.

How did Ed win some socks?

He simply entered a customer review of some socks during October. I chose the winning review in early November. It’s that simple. Every month I have a “Customer Product Review Competition” where the prize for the ‘best’ customer sock review is a brand new pair of X-Socks. All you gotta do is get reviewing, you gotta be in it to win it, as they say.

Honestly, it’s no harder than that. Just make a customer review (you could make as many as you like) and you could win a new pair of socks.

The November 2008 competition ends on the last day of the month, so start your reviewing now – Give Yourself the Chance.

Having Fun

The October Review competition ends at midnight tonight so instead of eating sweets or scaring away the trick or treaters from your front door open your laptop and submit some reviews, a brand new pair of X-Socks could be yours.

Have fun

James.
