Ozzie NL Posted January 26, 2018 Share Been riding Versus socks exclusively for the last couple of years now and have always loved them with the attraction being at least in part the fact that they always were specifically for cyclists (cyclists love cycling stuff right!) Now time to order some more and noticed that the cycling range of socks has been trimmed down quite a lot (only coffee socks listed as premium). Some of the other funky designs previously listed as cycling are now displayed under active but the header states it's for al type of sports incl tennis and running. Being a creature of habit, I'm now doubting whether these will have the same comfy fit as the cycling socks and also not sure what I think about my fav cycling socks becoming generic sports socks. Fully understand the boys for looking for new markets, just wondering what others think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pulse Posted January 26, 2018 Share Its just marketing to try and expand their market a bit. Don't worry about it. Just because the label is no longer exclusive to cycling, does not change the product; but it does clearly change your perception of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babse Posted January 26, 2018 Share its actually more comfy and durable than ever before... i assume they have changed manufacturers. i last bought a set of those limited edition black and white diamond socks and am impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Long Wheel Base Posted January 26, 2018 Share I have a few pairs of versus and they all different ranges and tbh I don't feel much difference except the one pair(bright orange) are a bit thicker than the others. Other than that I just buy them because they look cool and the guys came here asking for advice before starting out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lurch the stalker Posted January 26, 2018 Share I've got quite a few of their socks, and I must say, I actually prefer the ones that are under the performance category versus (pun intended) the ones in the cycling category. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jewbacca Posted January 26, 2018 Share I find their socks a bit long.. If they stopped at or just above the ankle they would be perfect.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beesrib Posted January 26, 2018 Share I got a couple of pairs for Christmas, and they still as good as my old pairs. Got a shorter pair of the running socks included, and they are just as awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldron Posted January 26, 2018 Share Socks shmocks - buy them and wear them. I have found no real advantage in any sock be it cheapie R20 a pair or R200 Italian wundersocks. I buy the ones that look coolest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheJ Posted January 26, 2018 Share I found a local shoe store that sells, what must be, fake CAM socks. For 19.95 a pair. And they are brilliant. Looks and feel. Bought 5 pairs last time I went past there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fully understand the boys for looking for new markets, just wondering what others think. I think the Active range (had to go look and see what range my popcorns fall under) are the best versus socks ito comfort. Maybe the creature of comfort needs to expand his horizons a bit. I only care about two things when it comes to sock. Comfort, and fit. And the new versus still tick the comfort box. And fortunately for me I don't have to like all their designs.
