“In terms of material these appear to be high quality socks but unfortunately not suitable for those like me with thickened Achilles tendons and chunky lower calves. They simply grip too tightly.
I had pointed out the following in an email when seeking advice from N/Runner, but they still recommended them:
'Please would you recommend some socks, bearing in mind that I have thickened Achilles tendons and chunky calves so they either need to be comfort fit or low cut.'

“I run in these socks all through the Winter. They keep my feet warm and are sold as a twin pack which is really good. Nicely padded but not too much. I wear the Inov8 X-Talon 212 and they are a comfortable fit.”
“Very comfy in training mode, help to moderate impact of wet feet. Deploying on a wet 50k tomorrow and optimistic I'll have blister free feet at the end as a result of them”
“After very wet feet during the Fort William marathon I decided to try merino wool socks on advice from a friend. These feel great on and kept my feet cool and dry on a hot day running 18 miles.”
