WRIGHTSOCKS

I’m a sock person. I love me some good, comfy socks that fit well into my runners, and give me a blister free performance.

I'll be honest. I had never heard of Wrightsock before, so intrigue stepped in when I was provided two pairs for testing – the Eco Run Tabs in GreyBlue and the Run Reflective Quarter Socks in Grey-Pink.

Firstly, the brand. Over 2 plastic bottles are in every pair of Eco Run socks, and they use a patented double layer to reduce friction with Dri-WRIGHT II performance yarn to improve moisture management and durability. So blisters are not on the agenda with these bad boys.

Both pairs are ideal for mid-distance running, hiking and other sports and my feet were kept dry and comfortable each time out on the trails or outside doing other fun activities. Their thickness scale is on the lower end (a 2 out of 4) so if you're looking for a sock that can cater to ultra distances, I'd suggest looking at the lightly cushioned Endurance socks.

The Eco Run Tabs and the Run Reflectives were very comfortable and didn't interfere with my shoe sizing. I'm keen to keep them on in the winter months to see how they fare against wet conditions, but in terms of summer performance both were breathable, lightweight and overall a good partner to my shoes.

The only difference, I felt, between the two was that one is a crew cut style and the other an ankle cut. Their website is filled with a variety of socks for every need, and they even have a quick questionnaire so you can find the right fit for you.
