The first in a new series.
Products that have served me well.
I've used this blog to talk about lots of things that I think could improve so I thought I'd use it sometimes to give praise to some products I own that are really good.
First up, my Adidas running socks.
In day to day life, socks aren't really a priority when it comes to your look or comfort. They're ubiquitous, usually an afterthought and they're rarely seen. Running socks are completely different though and they're a massively important part of kit.
Neglect them at your peril.
Over the past few years I've bought several pairs of running socks and these are the only ones I wear now. Every other brand and style I've bought have either become stretched; given me blisters or simply worn away. But not my trusty Adidas.
Runners become very brand loyal about their kit, but I try and be brand-neutral and go for the products that have served me well. I must have run a good few hundred miles in them and they're as good (if not better as they fit my toes perfectly now) as the day I bought them, and until they prove me otherwise they'll be my product of choice for some time to come.
Northern wuss.

Oh, it looks like you maximized the use of your Adidas socks there. Well, sports apparels like that are made to address every athletes' needs while bringing their performance to the next level. It's great that you've used it well as a runner. :)
