Probably the best!

Really pleased, probably one of the best I've tried. I was concerned on opening that they would be too tight, but they are made from a soft stretchy material that gives a nice gentle compression feel ensuring they dont move around while running.
Lovely range of colours too, a good match for my Brooks!
Will definitely be getting some more as great product and would much rather support a small business

No notes!

In an ideal world, you should never think about your socks on a run - the only socks I have ever thought strongly about are for negative reasons; blisters, heat buildup, poor styling etc. These socks feel like they tick every box, and blend in to my runs, letting me think about the pace, and not about any foot discomfort. The racing socks are lightweight enough that my hot feet feel comfy, but padded enough to provide support where needed. The fact that I happen to love the way they look (the 'getting it done' detail round the ankle is particularly cool and eyecatching), and come in a variety of different colours (because who doesn't want to match socks to the rest of their outfit!) is a happy bonus. As usual, no notes!

Hi Ben, we're thrilled to hear how much you love the new racing socks and they are working so well on your runs. We all wish you many more happy and fun runs out getting it done!

Just perfect

Excellent fit, soft feeling, very comfortable run. A beautiful item. Already used it in demanding training. Eager to wear it on a race day.

Hi Kriton, we're thrilled to hear you love the new racing socks. Wishing you a great race in them for your next big day. Keep on getting it done 👍

Amazing Ben Parkes Kit

Bought as a gift for Husband, amidst marathon training for Chester Marathon. He is never disappointed with Ben Parkes clothing and accessories. He commented the racing socks were brilliant having done half marathon (training schedule).

Hi Laura, we're thrilled to hear your husband is enjoying the racing socks and that they were perfect for his marathon training! Best of luck to him at Chester Marathon!!

Great socks!

I have several pairs of BP Running Socks, which are thicker and ideal for colder weather, and o bought these Racing Socks to try for the summer/warmer months. They fit the bill (and my feet) perfectly! Another happy runner.

Hi Clare, we're thrilled to hear you're happy with your racing socks and thank you very much for your review and photo! Wishing you many more happy runs in all your socks!! Keep on getting it done 👍

Great socks

Quality socks. No seams or anything that would cause you blisters. If you have bigger calves, it might be a bit tight but for me it’s perfect

Perfect socks finally trail worthy colors

Glad I waited for these since I needed a color and length for trails and white is definitely not a good option. No blisters and just amazing fit. I know they are called race socks but they work great for training as well lol.

Hi Sascha, thank you for the awesome review! We're thrilled to hear the socks are perfect for your trail runs and that you love the fit and colours. Keep on getting it done on the trails! 👍
