1000 Mile running socks.
about £7

Available from most running store stockists. These socks are specifically for running, but they work incredibly well inside cycling shoes. The socks are double layered, effectively 2 socks in one. The inner layer is made of Tactel, the outer cotton. They can be fiddly to get on straight, but they offer an incredible level of comfort. They wick away sweat so your feet stay dry and comfortable. The perfect compliment to a good pair of shoes.

1000 Mile MTB socks.
about £7

Available from Wiggle and cycling stores. These socks are specifically for MTB, they work well inside any cycling shoe. They wick away sweat so your feet stay dry and comfortable. The perfect compliment to a good pair of shoes. I currently use these socks with Shimano shoes, and a pair of over shoes, which keep the tootsies cosey even in the depth of British winter. Revolutionary new yarn technology makes Wool Ultra up to 20% lighter than conventional wool. It’s superior wicking qualities result in 30% faster drying and also makes it more effective in combating odours. Padded comfort seams, and arch brace all help to provide a customised fit. The socks are non prickle, non itch and have a minimal skin rub, dramatically reducing the incidence of blisters. The 1000 Mile Mountain Bike Sock keeps feet comfortable whether pedalling in your cleats or running with your bike – whatever the terrain or weather conditions.

1000 Mile:
The Company was established in 1989 following the creation of the original 1000 Mile sock.

The 1000 Mile unique double layer cotton/nylon sock was initially developed as a medical aid for sufferers from poor circulation and foot associated problems, especially among diabetics. As the benefits and reputation of the sock spread, athletes became interested in the socks as a means of preventing blistering, and controlling perspiration, during their training and competitive running programmes.

Over the past 7 years, the 1000 Mile sock has been introduced into the outdoor market, with astonishing success. Socks dedicated to the golf, cycling, running and cricket markets complete the range.
