Poster: A snowHead
|
I had a little spring clean of my room a couple of weeks ago. (im 19 so by spring clean I mean throw away stuff I dont want.) And it has occured to me that I may have accidentally thrown away my Ski socks...
Which normally not a huge problem, except im going away next friday and being christmas and all im a tad desperate.
I have found some socks on EdgeAndWax whom are still offering christmas delivery if ordered before tomorrow and wanted your guys opinions on them.
Im still early days in terms of my skiing, (dont own my own boots or skii's yet)
So I guess what im wondering is, should I buy a few pairs of these or just go for some cheaper wooly socks in TKMaxx or something??
Cheers guys.

BigMacB93, How about Decathlon in Reading? Not too far from you.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Get 'em ordered rather than chatting about it.

Just had a look a thier site, didnt seem to have a great selection of ski socks, With more time I would probably be better off popping into the store and having a look. What I dont want to do is wait until the weekend and visit the store, for them to have nothing suitable then not have enough time to order anything.
Tiger2, Think I may just do that..

BigMacB93, Bracknell has literally no ski shops you could pop into? Sounds unlikely for a town with a dryslope!

BigMacB93, My local TKMax had excellent PHD Smartwool ski socks for £7.99 per pair the other day, even if they don't have those they usually have something decent.

Carters in Reading will sell decent socks if Decathlon isn't what you want. I'd pop into the Reading TKMaxx, and if that is no good then go to Carters. I got some nice stuff including socks in Bournemouth the other day. Failing that Edge & Wax are a great place to buy from.

TK Maxx in Slough were selling £18 Columbia thinsulate socks the other day reduced to £9 in a wide variety of sizes.

Picked up a pair of some nice and thin Salomon Impact socks in TK Max in Brent Cross on Saturday. Made Primark look like Selfridges.

There's probably one or a few in the resort in which the OP is going skiing as well....

There is a millets in the town center and a sportsworld but in terms of an actual ski shop, there is only the shop located at the slope, which if memory serves host's ridiculous prices.
Well it seems a trip to reading town center would not go a miss this weekend.
Thanks everybody, most helpful as per ususal.

I am going to Tignes, so almost Definitly.

You know it makes sense.
|
Is that "sports direct", here the one in town sells bridgedale socks.
If not, get yourself a couple of pairs in TKMaxx anyway to keep going and guess what, Tignes has one or two shops that sell ski socks, surprise surprise. (at a price )

TK maxx all the way. Screw paying £20 per pair of socks. I got some salomon ones for £5 / pair. They're great.
