Had a pair of horizon, hated them. Bridgedale walking socks can't be beaten however.

I've been selling the HORIZON TEST socks for years. I do them for a tenner & a lot of my customers use them for everyday use as well.

At a tenner can I have two pairs please

well if this was a bowling site socks and feet would be 30% of the topics. Learn how to cut your toe nails properly and wear the best socks available. I wear thin cotton twin layer running socks under my Horizon test socks. And then have the best boots that suit my feet. Addidas 22 yds for me but other feet might like other brands. I've been opening the bowling (now county league ) for 30 years

I've used Bridgedale walking socks for Saturday cricket for years. They work exceptionally well as they are designed for use for long periods and keep the foot breathing freely.

I've also used Horizon and I think the Horizons are as good. They're what I am currently using.

The other factor is shoes. For the last five years I've worn ASICS spikes and Adidas rubbers. The ASICS are the most comfortable shoes for bowling in that I've found.

Horizon are excellent and keep their shape and cushioning wash after wash.

The Thorlo range are also very good. They have a specialist running and tennis range which quite a few of our cricketers wear.

The GM Teknik is another sock offering good value for money.

I have half a dozen pairs from sports direct and have been happy with them. Although I might try something else after seeing what other people use
