X-Socks Speed One Running Sock

The X-Socks Speed One Running Socs are the best socks I have ever purchased. I came across them when I was in Paris and the airlines lost my luggage and I need replacement socks and shoes. They are extremely comfortable, have built-in ankle support (yes, it's true) and are sewn to have a left and right sock. As soon as I returned to the U.S. I searched for retailers who carry this Italian product and this site was the only one. This sock is worth every penny I paid and I used them on both my short and long marathon training runs. I also purchased their "X-Socks Sky Run Sinofit Soc" which is marketed as their long distance soc but I prefer the The X-Socks Speed One Running Soc.

The X Scoks speed one is definitely not just a running sock. I use them for Mountain biking and they are the only socks I use that when I wear them my feet don't go numb in my bike shoes. I keep them IN my bike shoes so I always have them- yes they get pretty gnarley so I think I need to buy at least 3 more pair!

The sock is exactly the type of sock I like. It fits my foot like a glove and has nice compression support around the arch. It can definitely be classified as a thin sock, but has more then enough cushion for me. The socks come with a 2 year warranty, so I expect to enjoying my 12 to 26 mile runs in these socks for quite a while.

After eight days on monsoons on the East Coast, I had to get outside running and brave the elements. Most of the run was in a torrential downpour and my shoes were soaked. Despite feeling like a drowning duck, no blisters, even after an hour! My shoes were soaked, but X-Socks kept my feet warm and relatively dry. You have to try them, you will never go back.

I bought these for my wife; she likes them, but a little pricey for socks - you know, it just feels weird to pay $30 for socks. But, they work for long distance running and my wife digs them.
