For £25 I would expect the pair of socks to give me a handy after the game too.

I use these and they are incredibly comfy and you can get 4 pairs for 1 pair of TruSox
I've never noticed them slipping inside my boot either.

To me it seems like Trusox are creating a solution to a problem nobody had raised. Maybe i'm wrong though.

They are useful in football to stop your feet moving within the socks and the socks moving within your boots. Golf and other sports are also taking to them as players don't want their feet to move within their footwear. I don't see this as an issue in cricket.
