I'm a relative beginner to running, and was just wondering are running socks important? I understand a decent pair of trainers are but haven't bothered with running socks thus far??
I disagree, I run an average of around 15 miles a week and have never had a problem with cheap socks. Though the one blister I have had was caused by a putting them on hastily and having a fold in the material, it caused me problems for nearly a fortnight.I think it all depends on your level. You state you are a beginner and if that means a one mile run/walkthree times a week it probably makes no difference.
Once the mileage goes up and you spend more time on your feet then comfort becomes more of an issue as you battle blisters etc.
