Worn twice previous to Saturday with no problems.
Using the same boots I got a bloody blister (not literally) on their 3rd outing - managed to sort it with a Compeed before it got too bad, but made me wonder about the guarantee.
Just looked on their site and you have to have the original receipt - threw it away a while ago as I thought I'd never need it - bugger! 😥
Anyone else had a blister with their blister-free socks?

Yes, if that is that the two layer type. They work alright if you can get the layers to line up properly but once washed and turned inside out a few times you have to spend a bit of fiddling to get them back the right way. I get on much better with the thorlo padded type.

They are rubbish.

Smartwool socks - the thicker walking ones. They'll see you reet.

Ditto - horrible things. Never had a blister in my life (bit of a closet redsock) until I tried those things. As above, fine until they've been washed a few times.

They've reinvented "two pairs of socks."

mrs antigee is a big fan of many years and there is no odd twiddling with washing in this household

Tried them for running. I actually get on better with hilly mono socks.
