from 5317 reviewsBought three pairs of these ankle running socks in various colours, tested a pair during a long run and they felt incredible. Basically, you don’t even notice you’re wearing them which is perfect, no scrunching, sliding or loose fabric. Fit great, felt great.

Great tee shirts, different to anything else out there,iam sure I will end up with many more.

Very light and comfy, looks great and keeps the chilly autumn air off my arms.

Very happy with the quality and detail in these socks. Soft but they seem to be built to last. Happy to be socking the "Getting it Done" slogan too. Thank you Ben, Sarah and team.

Love this shirt. I’m usually a medium in running stuff, sometimes a large though used their guide and medium came up as correct. Perfect except it’s very you long and sleeves go almost to the end of my fingers and I’ve got long arms. their customer service however is excellent, sent me a small to try anyway, which is better so sending the medium back, bearing in mind I'm usually a medium/large. Excellent service and a quality shirt. Thank you

Gave these their first runout on a 16k run along the Jurassic coast trail. No hot spots, no sweating, to get this quality at this price these days is truly amazing. Well done Ben

Excellent quality, arrived next day and a very good price. Wanted to buy something as a thanks for your videos and help you give us all. Top man

Lighter than any other running hat, the perfect marathon running gear! Emailed them to ask for clarifications on their lightest hats and they replied speedily. I had previously bought an under armour one and it was significantly heavier.

The plan is easy to follow as everything is explained without information overload. Besides this, Ben Parkes has an amazing youtube channel which is what got me into running in the first place. Thank you for all the tips !

excellent fit good quality material recommend buying one you will love it

Ben Parkes’ running socks are the best value of those I’ve bought at £10 a pair. I wore them for a hill reps session and they felt great. Perfect fit for my UK 9.5 feet. I chose blue which go well with my Brookes Glycerin 22s and Hoka Bondi 9s.

Good quality product delivered quickly and efficiently. You can tell it’s from a small business: the care and personal note was much appreciated. Thanks!

New running cap just arrived. Delighted! Exactly as described, top quality, and looks fabulous. Thank you 😊
