jayjay 264 Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 (edited) i have the bridgedales.........not bad socks......., also use rugby or football socks, they seem to do just as good as any, anyone tried the lorpen socks ???? I have a pair of these as well and I must either be allergic to some material in them, or they are rubbing my leg in some way......every time I wear them I get home take boots of and my legs from my calf to my ankle look like I been sun burned and are quite sore for a day or two........

SINDASOX 255 Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 Love my Bridgedale's, wear them all year round, got quite a good few pairs of them, good tip is make sure you turn them inside out to wash them. Makes a hell of a difference to how long they last, was getting holes in mine before i did this, had no holes since i started doing it. SINDASOX Quote Link to post

Hydropotesinermis 724 Posted June 10, 2017 Report Share Posted June 10, 2017 What STIFFMEISTER said is pretty much on point. Bridgedales are great but hellish expensive. I tried some army surplus wool socks,they were alright and cheap. Actually I still have a few going strong now so they can't be bad. Not as warm as the thicker Bridgedales obviously but if you saved your thickest socks for the coldest weather you'd be alright. Can't get on with the sealskinz socks, feels like i've got my feet wrapped up in a freezer bag, just uncomfortable and plasticky. I'd rather have half a day of wet feet than a whole say with sealskinz socks on. Anyway, if you treat your boots right and Wear gaiters it's not very often I actually get wet feet. Quote Link to post
jessdale 416 Posted July 3, 2017 Report Share Posted July 3, 2017 Darn tough socks have a lifetime guarantee. Wear them out/hole them and they will replace them. About £20 for socks for life Quote Link to post
