Never wear anything else (makes it a bit cold, I know)

Since I discovered these, I never walk with anything else. I use them as inner socks, with one of the cheaper Bridgedale ones on top. They don't bunch up and I have never had a blister. I suspect I have got strangely-shaped feet and, on account of having MS, I suffer from a degree of neuropathic pain in my feet, so maybe that explains why I like them so much. I am more comfortable wearing my walking boots - with these socks - than anything else.

PRICE!

1000 mile socks and our walk from Coventry to Twickenham to raise funds for help the heros charity

None whatsoever

These socks are supposed to stop blisters, "Rubbish" i have just walked 125 miles from Coventry to Twickenham Rugby ground. As a former Royal Marine Commando i know how to take care of my feet. These socks did not do what the label says, prevent blisters. Everyone walking with me had them and all of us got blisters,one so bad he needed A&E treatment. You are thinking the boots must have contribiuted, wrong, i had the best boots i could buy, as a result of knowing about walking long distances, and i imparted this knowledge to all my walking collegues.

Dont do any serious walking with these socks, in fact dont buy the in the first place. There are better products on the market for a fraction of the price.

I really didnt like these

really struggling here....the material is soft
apparently they last quite well but I binned mine after a couple of wears

they bunch up in your shoes making them uncomfortable
expensive
over-hyped

Really didnt like thes. i understand the principle behind them but the double layer of material was hell on earth for my feet. After a few miles the material had bunched up at the toe of each shoe making them very uncomfortable. i found I had to take my shoes off and readjust every few miles. Cant comment on how long they last as I binned them after a few wears. Overpriced, overhyped and in the bin
avoid......

Works for me

As a two sock wearer this sock (1000 mile fusion) has been comfortable the times I've worn them on the PW and on training walks.

The two layer construction needs to be in good alignment for them to be comfortable.

Cheap and cheerful, no problems so far.
I can't answer the reccomend question, what works for mwe may well not work for you. OK, I'm forced to choose an option so have said yes but it is subjective.

Doesn't fulfill its promises!

Comfy, and generally quite good as a casual wear sock.

I bought these as i was getting blisters, and they claim a blister free guarantee. Secondly they claim 1000 miles use.
Neither of which is true, they only protected my feet slightly more than the previous socks I was wearing, and after approx 100-150 miles of use the socks were wearing through on the balls of my feet as well as around the toes.
I had read and followed the advice on putting the sock on correctly etc. and as I purchased a few pairs it cant be a one off occurrence.
Initially they felt good, but i was soon dissapointed, and frankly it's false advertising.

An expensive dissapointment
