Boring question about socks... I wore a new pair of socks (Alpkit double layer running socks) with my Saucony Peregrine shoes for a 20km run with 1000m ascent/decent in the Lakes last weekend. I found that when I was descending steeply, my feet would slip in my socks and in my shoes which caused the insole to bunch up under my arch, becoming very uncomfortable… I had to stop to adjust them several times until I just gave up and carried on uncomfortably.
Has anyone experienced this with double layer socks/ peregrines? I have run with regular single layer socks since (though not on any major downhills as, sadly, I live in east London and not the Lakes), and it was fine. However, I’m training for my first ultra and double layer socks seem like better a choice for long distances when it comes to blisters..
Any suggestions to avoid this happening again? Thanks
