On Wednesday the 7th May we had a recovery run with Darn Tough ahead of the Bristol Half Marathon & 10k on Sunday. Everyone who joined us got a free pair of merino wool Darn Tough socks to demo on an easy, social group 5k run!
A big thank you to Steve from Darn Tough for bringing down so many socks for us to demo! Everyone who attended got a pair to try and take home.
Following the group run around Victoria Park we returned to the shop for free kombucha from our neighbours across the road at Counter Culture. Then Steve delivered a brief presentation about Darn Tough, merino wool and the reasons for wearing sport-specific running socks. We might have even convinced a few suspicious people of the importance of running socks!
Darn Tough produce premium socks that support active lifestyles and was founded in Vermont with a commitment to quality, durability and performance. Confidence in their products is demonstrated by their unconditional lifetime guarantee which can be traced back through their roots to a family-owned mill with a long-standing tradition of crafting high-quality socks. Combining fine-gauge merino wool and other high-performance fibres with a meticulous attention to detail and craftsmanship results in socks that offer exceptional comfort, moisture-wicking properties and longevity.
We stock the ultra lightweight with cushion style of running socks that are made of wicking merino wool for all day comfort. The cushioning features soft terry loops under the foot for lasting rebound while running. Depending on personal preference we have no-show tab, quarter and crew lengths available.
Every sock features a performance fit that ensures no slipping, no bunching and no blisters to allow you to focus on your run and not your feet. Added arch support helps alleviate foot fatigue and bunching for long-running comfort with zero slippage. The “flex windows” zone material where your feet need it most so nothing interferes with your stride.
Darn Tough socks are made of merino wool which dries very quickly and move excess heat and moisture away from feet. The ultra-lightweight yarns ensure zero bulk and zero itch so the socks feel like a second skin. Every Darn Tough sock is unconditionally guaranteed for life.
