Who wears cricket socks?
« on: March 20, 2013, 02:18:36 PM »
Hi guys,

Cricket socks is something I haven't taken much notice to in the past and I am now interested in what people wear.

In the past, I have just wore pretty basic sports socks but tempted to try out some cricket ones. What do people recommend?

I used Puma for a couple of years mate, and they lasted me a while. Just about to invest in some Kookaburra ones though.

1000 Mile and Horizon seem to be popular amongst the pros

I wear walking socks.
Cost £15 a pair but it's worth it.
I used them by mistake a couple of years back and have never looked back (or down as the case may be).

I also use them in the gym, so I get my monies worth (Grandfather from Yorkshire you see).

I use 1000 Mile socks and they are very comfy.

1000 mile most the time but I've used the nike cushioned running socks too and they're a good substitute especially if it's a warm one!

compression and running socks are in general quite thin and wicking type material, not necessarily a negative just something to keep in mind if your thinking of trying them. where as the traditional horizon and other brand cricket socks tend to be quite thick and woolly.

All about the SportsDirect Slazenger socks. Couldn't go wrong at £2 a pair, might think twice now they've gone up to £2.99 though  :(
