Got a couple of pairs of Adidas Tour 360’s from BOTD and they are very nice. my left foot is a smidge smaller than my right and I was wondering if anyone had some good options for thicker socks…I got a bit of a blister from walking around today and I think a thicker sock may do the trick.


Does anyone have a good option for thicker socks or a different option on filling the little bit of looseness?


Cheers.

Thorlo socks are the duxnutz. Soft, comfy and moisture wicking as well. There are also some new balance ones that are just as good (a bamboo/cotton combo).

My flogsocks are amazingly soft, but a little gooey. They go crusty after awhile.

Blisters are great. They take your mind away from the pain of the chaffing.

Just wear two of your normal socks on your left foot. I often do that for the first few rounds with new shoes.

I'm just wearing some bonds socks from coles, but they're awesome. Nice and thick under the foot. They've got huge fluoro 'BONDS' lettering on them underneath, but you don't see that bit. I like the really low cut socks, but it's hard to find them with decent cushioning.

Just buy shoes that don't need breaking in.

Nike DriFit for mine.

Decent price on FleaBay and the elastic lasts forever.

My wife just came into the room and, from over my shoulder, saw me reading this thread.

"Really...? You guys are talking about socks! WTF is wrong with you people" and with a bewildered shake of the head, wandered off.

I've got some footage demonstrating how to make these if you like?

I got my hands (or feet) onto the Thorlo socks today and they are very good. I tried them with the shoes that were a tad loose and they are a snug fit now. a tad tight in the toes now but the shoes are leather so shouldn't be a problem. Thanks for the suggestions, these socks seem to be very good.
