Bought a couple of pairs of these for training as I'd worn through my others (incidentally, not X-Socks!). Small, lightweight and very comfortable, they do the job they are intended to do and are an excellent choice for those starting to take running seriously, especially for the price. Really gave them a thorough testing by running a half marathon in them, in which they were perfectly adequate, despite not really being designed for such prolonged activity (The Run Performa or Sky Run Socks will be my next purchase!). Really would recommend these to those looking for a good cheap pair of running/training socks.

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.
