You can tell that Christmas is getting close when the sock reviews start appearing, but the 1000 Mile Fusion is well worth checking out for any keen walker.
They feature padding and protection for the Achilles tendon, arch bracing and extra padding on the toe, heel and ball area.
They also come with a blister-free guarantee – 1000 Mile are able to offer that thanks to the socks’ double layer that eliminates friction, so basically if you experience blisters within a year of buying the socks you can get a replacement pair or your money back.
The same guarantee also applies if you wear them out within 1000 miles of walking although quite how you prove that who knows?
Made of a technical mix of fabrics consisting of 40% Merino wool, 29% nylon, 23% polyester, 6% cotton and 2% Lycra with a 100% Tactel inner layer these are one pair of Christmas socks that you’ll really want.
