The socks feature targeted ventilation to keep your feet cool, but I was surprised to find my feet felt hot throughout my run, despite it being a cold and frosty winter morning. Made with merino wool, which provides excellent thermal and moisture control properties, I\u2019d recommend these to anyone who really suffers from cold feet.<\/p>\n<p>Bridgedale have such confidence in the longevity of their products, they offer a 3-year guarantee, so if you\u2019re not completely satisfied with the quality and performance of your socks, you can exchange them. (T&amp;Cs apply).<\/p>\n<p>After a few washes and wears, I\u2019ve found that they retain their fit, cushioning and comfort, which is a testament to a durable and quality product.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Final Thoughts<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>After a couple of runs and spins on the bike, I found these socks more suitable and comfortable for cycling. My feet just got too hot whilst running, but the extra cushioning on the ball of the foot was really comfortable when out on the road for a long ride on the bike.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><strong>More Information<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff00ff;\"><strong>Who\u2019s it for:<\/strong><\/span> Ideal for running, cycling and the gym<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #ff00ff;\"><strong>How much:<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/span>The Speed Diva socks cost <a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2k1f5mr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">\u00a312.99<\/a><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #ff00ff;\"><strong>Website:<\/strong><\/span> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bridgedale.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">www.bridgedale.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Running and cycling are brilliant ways to keep fit in London.
