High-end socks too much to fork out for? Try these...
Huge Rapha fan, I may be, but something bugs me about paying large amounts for cycling socks, however comfortable they are. Today I discovered an amazing thing. Sainsbury's "Tu" Pack of Sports Socks...with Coolmax...available in 3s...for £5. Worth every penny and more.

Still trying to win a pair
I've got some. They're ace.
Got some on my wedding anniversary wanted list.
Anyone have road.cc ones?
Surely expensive socks are the meaning of Christmas ? Though that's no help for this summer.
Endura socks are in my opinion some of the best quality best priced socks around, They have never failed me, never go bobbly in the wash, keep my feet dry and sweat free, i couldn't recommend them highly enough
Awesome - thanks guys. That's solved my summer sock anguish. Which was basically looking at Castelli socks which look pretty and then thinking there's no flipping way i'm spending £15 on a pair of socks
3 pair of endura in the post now
Yeah i don't pay big prices for my socks either, i have a few brands
A few pairs of pearl izumi which i have won from Evans, really great winter socks
I also have LOADS if Endura Coolmax http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=41028
Although i found them on Amazon cheaper last year, here is the cheapest just now
Then a few pairs of crivit from when Lidl have their cycling offers on
