Accelerate Anti-Blister Running Socks for Men and Women, Cushion, Ankle Cut, Arch Support, 100% Recycled, Anti-Odor

Wow, brilliant! I purchased a pair of Accelerate socks in March, and have run about 325 miles in them. I rinsed them under the tap each week, and they stayed aroma free until July, when I finally put them in the washing machine. Unfortunately, I did notice some wear to the right sock, and a small hole developing. However, I contacted Rockay, and true to their Lifetime Warranty, they sent me a new pair within three days. They aren't particularly thick, but they are very comfortable and I've had absolutely no blisters! I get very hot, and I've noticed that they keep my feet cool. Try them, I'm glad I did.

I’ve bought a LOT of running socks over the years and these are the best I’ve had for a long time.They’re the ideal thickness for a range of conditions so my feet have been neither too hot or too cold in temperatures ranging from sub zero to 30 degrees plus.Aesthetically they look great - if that matters to you! They’re not so low that they disappear inside the shoe or too high that they make it look like you’re wearing a school gym kit - they protrude evenly about 1cm above my Asics.Most importantly they’re super comfortable and my feet have shown no sign of blisters any soreness whatsoever over long distances as advertised.I’ll be buying several more.

As my last socks had reached 4000Km and I'd started getting blisters in the arch of my foot it was time to get some new socks. I'm not a marathon runner, I jog 10Km 3 times a week in a respectable 50 ish minutes a go, but it takes it's toll. I waited for a weeks worth of runs before posting this review. Firstly, no more blisters, they are a snug fit, good around the arch and heel, quite a tight fit (which is good). The materials feel significantly hotter than my 'just cotton' socks, but don't hold the moisture as much. Where the material is not extra padded they feel a bit thin so I'm not sure if they will last as long as the 4000 Km the others did, or if the comfort will stand the test of time, but in the short term they are a welcome addition. The thinness is noticeable to me as I usually get something with more padding as I'm a little heavy on my feet these days! I'd certainly try something a bit cheaper next time in order to get a better comparison, but definitely worth a try once at least.

I bought these socks based on the overwhelmingly positive reviews here. I usually agree with them but on this occasion, I was pretty disappointed. Here is one of the bullet points in the product description:"ANTI-BLISTER- Say goodbye to blisters and chafing. Our Accelerate socks are made with ventilation zones, that wicks away sweat. Enjoy a super breathable sock that's built to last mile after mile whether you are running, hiking or walking. Keep you feet bone dry and blister free no matter what you are doing."When I opened the packaging, I really thought I was looking at baby socks. There is no way on earth these ultra-slim, barely-there, non-cushioned socks would protect your feet on a challenging hike when you are wearing tough hiking boots.I tried them on and they needed to be ridiculously stretched just to get on my foot. Walking in them while wearing my hiking boots would be like not wearing socks at all (that's how insubstantial they were). I gave mine away to someone who is four sizes smaller than I am and she was genuinely pleased with the fitting.I must admit that I'm confused at the popularity of these. For the same price as one pair of these, you can pick up multiple pairs of properly cushioned socks that would protect your feet far better during hiking and running.To sum up then, I know I'm in the minority but I personally cannot recommend these because of the inaccurate sizing and more importantly, because they cannot possibly deliver on what I need them for (hiking and some trail running).

I've always had issues when purchasing sports socks as they either continuously fall down, which irritates me no end, or they collect so much sweat that it feels as though I have puddles in my shoes. These socks though are perfect. I absolutely love them, and my partner seems to as well as he keeps sneaking them out of my draw. That along with the fact that I can't wash them quick enough means that I will need to buy more. What attracted me to these socks was that they are made from Merino Wool. I have ski thermals that are made from the same material, and I love them. These socks were clearly designed with a lot of thought, and I would highly recommend them for all sports enthusiasts.

I could get more padding by wrapping a handkerchief around my foot. These look flimsy and incredibly thin and already have a couple of pulls - I can't see them lasting long. I'm a UK 9 and they barely fit in a Large and will doubtlessly shrink (don't all socks) so I'm expecting them not to fit after I wash them. Done a few 5ks in them and OK so far but I wouldn't trust them not to blister on a longer distance - in all honesty these are no better than socks I pay a few quid for.Incredibly disappointed and misled by the positive reviews - don't make the same mistake I did. I genuinely feel mis-sold and ripped off.

Fantastic, only worn these socks for a few days now but I am totally impressed.Quality build and materials. These socks feel like they are massaging your feet all day long, the construction using different materials to do different jobs on each part of your feet is fantastic. Cannot comment on their lifespan yet but looks good . Have never had a pair of socks like these before , well worth the money and will be purchasing some more bit by it and build up my stock of them . Superb
