New Zealand here we come!

I ordered the South African flag socks in bulk ( x8 pairs) for a running race I’m doing with 7 friends in New Zealand early November. We are going to rock our socks! I ordered online which was quick and easy and my parcel arrived in record time. Thanks Versus

I received my order in a very short time and the quality of the socks are excellent. Lovely gifts and my family are going to be so thrilled when they open their gift bags. Will definitely support this company again.

Smooth Sailing :)

Easy ordering process, quick delivery (received them next day), fantastic product (as always) Forgot how nice they are when they are new and cushioned - one should buy more often ;-)

Versus vs T1D

As a type 1 diabetic, taking care of my feet is highly prioritised, so too as a runner. After being gifted a pair of Versus socks a few years ago, I have not looked back. Durable, comfortable and pretty darn good looking too.
