DANISH ENDURANCE3 Pairs of Long Distance Running Socks, Anti-Blister, Arch Support, Men and Women

When this product first arrived, they are in a nice brown envelope and ooze high-quality. On first impression, very impressed.This is why it is so disappointing that these have failed to deliver on performance after only a handful of runs. They are advertised as anti-blister however, quite the opposite is true.The stitching of this logo on the inside of the sock has frayed on all 3 sets of socks which normally wouldn't be an issue but the logo on these socks are sat under the foot. On the left foot the logo sits around the outside edge of the foot without issue, however, on the right foot the logo sits just behind the ball of the foot. and causes rubbing and therefore blisters on the underside of the right foot.As such, these are not fit for purpose, they are not suitable for running and do not provide the anti-blister selling point that they are advertised. To that end, i cannot recommend these socks and would suggest you look elsewhere.

I am so disappointed with these socks. I should state from the outset that I didn't choose them for running, I wanted something that came above the ankle, and I was drawn in by the light blue colour. I ordered UK size 6-8 (EUR 39-42), but there's no way these are intended for adults. The top of the sock is extremely tight. They are around 8.5 cm (unstretched) across the flat top of the sock. The envelope they came in really sets up one's expectations, but as I opened it, I was really quite shocked at the shade of light blue they came out at. The colour is really quite different, very washed out, far less vivid in reality than how they appeared in the online photos. I think they are too "new born" blue. (See image). I certainly won't be wearing them. I might have to inflict them as a gift on someone else.

This is not my first purchase of these socks. I have run and walked always, competing in events since childhood. These are, without doubt, the comfiest socks I have ever used, the best result being a blister free 50 mile Race Walk in 11hr 49min. If there are any better socks on the market, I’ve yet to find them!

The company states that the socks prevent blisters. Unfortunately, that is not the case. I bought 3 pairs of the long distance socks that arrived on 1st July and yesterday 4th July I used a pair for the first time and there is a blister on my left foot with blood as you can set in the photo. I really do not know what long distance means for the company but definitively half a marathon is not a long distance. I will return them today.It is not fair for the consumer that companies claim for something that the product does not comply with. It should be best to sell the socks as for going to the gym but do not use them to run more than 5K. In addition, there is a higher price tag than a normal sport sock but without delivering what it was expected. I did not experience any difference from a cheap pair of running socks and these ones from Danish Endurance.

Endurance socks? What does this company classify as endurance, I wonder? I used them for the first time on a 10km run and a hole appeared in the right sock. Not where any nails protrude but underneath the outer seam of the toe section, the part covering the toe joints. Ok, I thought, perhaps it's rubbing on the shoe but I was a bit miffed. Tried them again on a 10-mile run and, in almost exactly the same area, another hole appeared on the left sock. These are over £7 per pair FFS!!! I've bought other running socks that are much, much cheaper and have worn them countless times before they've developed any holes. I expected these to last through several half marathons at least, not just sixteen miles. I don't know how far you lovely Danes tend to run but you're off your trolley if you believe these are in any way suitable for long distances.
