Stance Run Light

Crew Sock (£16.99, stance.eu.com)

What the brand says: Sitting at mid-calf, these socks are designed to control your temperature while you work up a sweat. The lightweight design also offers a breathable barrier between your foot and shoe with select cushioning for added comfort. Strengthened with Infiknit fibres in the places most prone to wear, the durable material promises to never rip nor tear.

What we say: 'These super-comfy socks sat mid-calf providing cushioning and support for my entire foot bed, ankle, shins and calves. The length also stopped any chaffing around the back of the heel. The material was seamless around the toes, which made them comfy on long runs and beyond - and the socks are made with Infiknit yarn with added polyester, combed cotton and elastane for added stretch and robustness. In fact, if you get a hole or rip, Stance will replace them thanks to their lifetime guarantee. Now that's what we call brand confidence!'
