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.
Best £7.50 spent, ever!
Apr/090
I love this review, not just because it big’s up X-Socks but more because the X-Path to enlightenment works. This guy spends £7.50 on some running socks from the ‘discovery’ range (in case you don’t know, the X-Socks Discovery range is lower in price, the socks have a reduced feature set and are aimed at people either new to their sport or new to X-Socks). You could probably get 3 pairs of running socks in budget shops for £7.50, but they’re not going to be any good at all for your feet and you’ll most likely suffer from damp, clammy, blistered feet that you rather pretend you never had.
Best £7.50 I ever Spent!
As a complete beginner to running I was advised to get some proper running gear to help prevent injury. Wearing the correct running shoes and compression gear certainly helps but the difference these socks make is amazing. No More Hot rubbing feet 2 miles in to a five mile run! They provide cushioning where you need it while being remarkably thin. At £7.50 These babies were the cheapest addition to my running wardrobe but they are by far the piece of kit I would not be without. As I progress into greater distances, I will be giving the run performance or the EVO Run socks a try.

Don’t get sucked in to thinking that you don’t need to invest in decent socks because you can get cheap ones and you can own lots of them. Much better for your enjoyment of your chosen activity to get socks you will enjoy wearing and that will look after your feet.
