Having used Ben Parkes’ ankle socks for ages, I finally gave the long-length Navy socks a try. They didn't disappoint! Super comfortable, zero slipping, excellent arch support, and top-notch blister protection. The extra height looks sharp and feels great on the legs. Highly recommended!
Thanks so much, Junnel! We’re delighted the long-length socks have been a good addition to your range. It’s wonderful to hear you’re enjoying the comfort, secure fit, arch support, and blister protection. Happy running and of course keep on getting it done! 👍
Really good quality for the prize. Absolutely beats some of the premium brands in terms of feel and density of the fabrick.
I got small/medium for a 42 and they fit very well. 10/10 recommendation even with the extra shipment cost to Germany.
Hi Sebastian, thank you for your fantastic review! We're thrilled to hear you're happy with the quality and fit of our new running socks. Great to know they meet your expectations! Happy running!
Can’t fault the quality and price of these socks. Had many of the ‘big brands’ and Bens are easily better in every department. You can tell a runner that’s knows what he’s talking about has helped profile these! We’ll be buying again.
Hi Nathan, thank you for your fantastic review! We're thrilled to hear you love the socks and appreciate your kind words. Keep on getting it done! 👍
So love my go to Ben Parkes running socks. Stylish, comfortable and fit like a glove. Would highly recommend.
Hi Mark, thank you so much for your fantastic review and great to see your photo too! We're thrilled to hear you love the socks and that they fit perfectly. We really appreciate your review and support. Keep on getting it done! 👍
Ran my first ever 5k race in these puppies and they were fabulous. Comfy, no hot spots and most importantly matched my Asics Megablast’s !!
Hi Barney, we're thrilled to hear you had a great first 5k race in your new socks! Thanks for sharing your experience. Photo looks great! Keep on getting it done 👍
Great socks for your daily runs. Quality materials and seamless design. A bit more padded than the racing socks
After recently trying the Ben Parkes SOAR singlet — which is outstanding — I also picked up a pair of his running socks.
At first touch, I honestly thought they might feel too warm for the Greek summer. I was wrong.
Today I ran 18km on the track under the Corfu sun at around 29°C, and I didn’t feel any overheating or excessive sweating at all. The fit is excellent — snug without being restrictive — and the cushioning is placed exactly where it’s needed, providing support, comfort and a very secure feel.
Even in the final kilometers, my feet still felt fresh and comfortable.
What really impressed me: when I took them off after the run, they were practically dry. The moisture and temperature management is seriously impressive.
Overall:
high-quality, performance-focused socks that deliver exactly what you want on longer or harder runs.
Big credit to Ben — everything I’ve tried so far has been top quality.
Hi Yannis, thank you so much for sharing your experience with the socks! We're thrilled to hear the socks kept you comfortable and dry during your run in the Greek heat. Well done to you too! Your support means a lot to us with the socks and singlet. Happy running! Keep on getting it done 🙌
Amazing socks at an amazing price. Great fit and really happy ro be supporting as small buisness
Thank you, Matthew! Comments like this genuinely make my day — really appreciate you supporting the store. Hope the socks log many happy miles with you!
These socks rival any of the mainstream brands: Feetures, Bombas etc Very comfortable , no blisters, beautiful colors and they fit exceptionally well!!
Feel high quality. Material is fairly dense (almost like a compression sleeve), medium thickness (id happily wear these on trails. Im a uk 11 with slim ish ankles. I got the L/XL - Toe to heel length was perfect. Ankle was slightly tighter than im used to but it was the first run so I suspect they'll give in time. Overall 5/5 and best of all i ran my 6km PB so theyre confirmed as super sock, thanks guys.
I’m really loving wearing these longer length BP socks! I also have a pair in black and in turquoise (sky blue). Nicely cushioned and I like the length. Perfect for colder runs. Recommended (x3!).
Really pleased with my socks. Wore them for the first time this morning and did my longest run in years, which was 24 km without any issues. Great quality and very comfortable. Socks stayed in place. Definitely recommend.
Love these socks. They are honestly my favourite running socks now. Great fit and good thickness.
Just recived my GID socks, feel fabulous. Will be putting a pair through their paces tomorrow with a quick 5 miles. Been looking for a comfortable sock for about three years, nothing found yet, will these bring my search to an end. Thanks Ben and Sarah for all yiu do for the running community its much appreciated. Cheers Neill
These will be my go to socks for this marathon training block. Size L/XL perfect fit for my UK12 feet.
Great price for the 3 pair deal, super quick dispatch and delivery. Many thanks.
3 more pairs of the best running socks I’ve had
I started with a black pair and then when the new colours came out, I bought these in turquoise. I’ve just run a 12 mile run in them and they were great. A slightly thicker feel, which have been ideal for winter. I’m a UK 7 and the S/M fit me well. I’ve just ordered another pair in fluorescent yellow 😎 A very happy customer. Thanks Team Ben!
Wow Ben, You've done it again! First the hats, the t shirts/long sleeves, the shorts and now the socks!
I've always used another brand for my running socks but I thought id give yours a try and as I guessed, Im NOT disappointed! Just back from my first run in them (28km) and very pleased to say, no blisters, they felt great and nicely padded! I will definitely be ordering more!
Cheers once again Ben! 👍🏻
I’m new to running and purchased these. Speedy delivery and such great quality. Will definitely be getting some more in the future
These have been a game changers for me. So soft and confortable and super stylish too. Helped me get my first PB of 2026.
I run in many different socks, yet those are like a glove! Superb feeling and a great length! Waiting for more colors as 3 are just not enough!
Great socks . Nice length to keep my ankles warm . It's like running on a cloud with these on
