YOUR SOLE, £11.50

1000 MILE, £9.99
The Fusion Sock is a double layer sock with a blisterfree guarantee! It’s a well-padded sock! The padding offers comfort and protection: around the Achilles tendon, and the arch.

It’s the double layer which eliminates friction between the foot and shoe that prevents painful blisters. www.1000mile.co.uk
