X-Socks Speed One Running Sock - 2007 BCS

Got these for my dad who works for a living. He washes them every night so he can wear them the next day. Coming from a guy who's view of science was "I don't care what they tell you in those 'text books' I know what I know" after he felt the difference a SOCK can make, he bought another pair for the sake of my mother washing his one pair of socks!

Excellent fit, feel great, look nice, just pity they come only in white...

Great support in these socks. They feel much more comfortable than the wool socks that I have been using for running. Those socks resulted in blisters at 15+ miles.

These feel smoother and less likely to rub. I plan to use them during longer distances and marathons.

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.

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 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.

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!
