'OH DEAR - BINNED AFTER ONE WEAR'

Strengths:

Weaknesses:
as per others really bunched around toes badly giving a horrible walking experience

Overall:
worn one, binned on return from walk. Really did not like wearing them as bunched badly around toes and made walking very unpleasurable....avoid

'NOT EVEN WORTH CONSIDERING'

Strengths:
Before my first wearing of them, I was looking forward to my walk that bit more, safe in the knowledge that my new socks carried a no blister garuntee.

Weaknesses:
They bunch around the toes, did squat to help my blisters, the toe seam rubbed, The makers of these seem to think that friction is the only thing that causes blisters!

Overall:
If I hadn't have lost one of my pair in the tent, id've taken them straight back for a refund.

'NOT TOO GOOD'

Weaknesses:
bunch up around toes massivley
too expensive
still managed to get blisters

Overall:
i bought these socks as they looked very impressive, they had a blister free guarantee for 1000 miles. i payed £12 for mine, and the first time i wore them out properly, i was about three miles into a walk on dartmoor and i got a hotspot, which turned into a blister. in short, not worth the money and i still got blisters and the ybunch up around your toes.

'VERY GOOD FOR WARM WEATHER WALKING.'

Strengths:
not too warm. certainly helped stop my blisters.

Weaknesses:
Too short, can't see them lasting 1000 miles, a bit expensive for what they are a pair of socks inside a pair of socks...........!

Overall:
seem ok but could do with being longer, also have to wear a thicker pair of wool socks on top when cold weather walking

'GIVES YOU THE FEET FROM HELL'

Strengths:
they are socks. Not good socks, but socks none the less.

Weaknesses:
Where to begin.
The Tactel liners in these socks make your feet stink. They do worse than stink, I nearly collapsed when taking my boots off after a days walking.
They did nothing to stop my feet blistering/becoming sore.
The toe seam of the liner, plus the toe seam of the outer makes for uncomfortable toes. Especially after washing as the liner moves relatively to the outer.

Overall:
Unconfortable
Horrible
Smelly
Don't work

Save your money.
Get some good wool socks instead.
