Quality was perfect

I'm a 5K runner and I've often suffered from shin splints and knots in calves. I almost didn't try these socks because they just seemed have a different material over the arches. I didn't see the big deal or how it could help my arches, I just wanted to return these.But I went for a run today with the socks anyway, with my socks being the only variable and I WAS JUST AMAZED by these!!! There's firm yet comfortable support around the ankles and the arches. The toe area had ample amount of space for movement.I have minimum impact on my shins and my recovery was magical! Each box comes with 2 pairs and I have another pair on the way. I hope to be buried with these one day LOL

Ordered these socks as I have been suffering from achillies problems and get sore swollen heels/ankles during and after I have run. Compression long socks seem to make them worse as they restrict blood flow to the achillies. So thought I would try these. They are very comfortable and do support my heels well. Much more comfortable than wearing a restictive bandage and less effort than applying KT tape every time I run!! Not saying they are a cure but do make running less painful so far. Would recommend.

I play football and suffer badly from pain in my heels and achilles which all stem from plantar fascitis. The day after a game is pure agony as my heels have seized up overnight and the next few days are just constant pain. I wore these for a football game (underneath my normal football socks) for the first time yesterday and the difference is incredible. The next morning I can walk virtually pain free. I'm not sure why they work and I was very skeptical but if anyone else is suffering, give these a go.

As a relatively new runner who just got a blister I looked into running socks and did a little experiment. I ordered the RunnersWorld critical darling socks; Balega Silvers (£17 a pair) and Feetures (£11 a pair) socks and then I ordered a cheaper alternative to see if there was much difference.Considering I paid £13 for TWO pairs of Physix Running Socks they really stand up alongside the premium socks in a number of ways. Firstly; how are they as a running sock? Great. They don't move, they wick sweat and they are tight yet comfy with a little springy feel in the arch of your foot. They seem well made also. Admittedly stacked next to an expensive option they don't look quite as good, the fine details are a little less and they look and feel cheaper but they ARE cheaper by a LOT and the performance is much the same.Do I prefer the expensive options? In some ways. They're much softer on the foot and just feel a little more premium but it must be said that these do pretty much the same job for a fragment of the cost of the Balega socks. If you're new and don't want to spend big money then these are perfect.The only thing you're missing out on is stuff that is nice to have but not vital. The expensive socks have hidden toe seams which make them feel a little better inside the shoe but isn't vastly noticeable once you're moving. The expensive socks have fancy magic stuff in them which make them somehow not smell even after running 10km and these don't but honestly at this price you could just...wear another pair whilst you wash the other. The expensive socks are made from nicer materials and as such they're a little easier to get on and off and just feel nicer when you're wearing them. Do they feel nearly £10 better than these do as in the case of the Balega socks? Honestly, probably not.It's early days to talk about their durability but they seem well enough made, the stitching seems decent enough. They don't look like they're going to fall apart.This is a quality budget brand product for anybody starting out running who doesn't want to break the bank for the basics (and trust me running socks DO make a huge difference if you want to get out there for longer distances because normal socks WILL make you blister)

I've had an opportunity to use them a few times and so far I'm very happy with the results...They are a snug fit compared to my other running socks which suits my particular need...Only time will reveal how durable they are....

Bought for husband who suffers with plantar fasciitis and has to walk a lot. He’s worn these once since purchase and said they are very comfortable. He thought they’d feel tight but they didn’t. So far so good
