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/101
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
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.

Ok Girls, don’t get toooooooo excited there aren’t any Brad Pitt (or, insert your desired famous man’s name) photos on the site but I have managed to squeeze a page in just for the Girls.
Preventing Blisters – oooh
Aug/080
So, I just came across an article on eHow called “How to Treat and Prevent Blisters Caused by Running” – the eHow regulars have given the article 4 stars out of 5 and it gives you a list of 6 products and ‘treatments’ for blisters.
