NOT BAD

Not really had any blisters nor hot spots using them, but I do have well fitting boots.
Have lasted 5 years
A little pricey. Tactel inner sock stinks after one day out.
Nylon (inner sock)next to hot sweatey feet is bound to smell.
Are they meant to be worn inside out? It might make more sense having wool or cotton next to the skin.

DO EXACTLY THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT IT SAYS ON THE TIN

I got them free
They give you blisters and are very uncomfortable.
The inner sock/outer sock design seems to be trying to solve a problem that doesn't exist. A pair of liner socks and a separate pair of decent wool socks work a thousand times better than these.

In addition I managed to put my finger through BOTH of these socks the first time I put them on...durable they are not.

Even though I got them free I still sent them back to the shop.

NOT EVEN WORTH CONSIDERING

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.
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!
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

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