Title: Which socks
Post by: iand123 on March 04, 2012, 06:08:40 PM

My kookaburra cricket socks are getting a bit battered and was looking to replace them. Are the horizon socks worth the extra money? Seen them on eBay here which seems a good deal http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2012-Horizon-Pro-Cricket-Socks-Size-UK-7-5-11-/150730988958?pt=UK_Sporting_Goods_Sports_Clothing_LE&hash=item2318445d9e#ht_1311wt_1156 (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2012-Horizon-Pro-Cricket-Socks-Size-UK-7-5-11-/150730988958?pt=UK_Sporting_Goods_Sports_Clothing_LE&hash=item2318445d9e#ht_1311wt_1156)

I use Horizon Test socks and they are simply amazing, easily better than Kookaburra, GMs etc

Definitely worth it imho!

I got some from the local adidas outlet for £1.50 or £2.00 a pair and they are great so far in nets etc!

Yep 1000 mile socks are the best by far, best cricket purchase I made last year, esp playing premier league games and fielding a stupid amount of overs in a day!  Worth every penny.

Some of you have too much money if you can plash out £9 for a pair if socks!

Get anything but cotton for sports. Cotton holds sweat and also goes hard when drying out. A wool blend is the best way to go. Trust me I used to be a meter reader and walked 20km a day as my job.

I use any socks that don't smell too bad and have a max of only 1 or 2 holes! It does feel good putting a reshly washed pair on from time to time though ;) oh the life of a student!

My mate wears the school football socks as he forgot his cricket ones and scored a ton first time he did it and averaged over 80 last season after swapping. Think I might do the same this year.

+1

If they don't have any holes in them, they're good enough for me :)
