Socks aren't much use but the tops are great

and sure who needs a Garmin?

leddpipe · 21-03-2011 10:03pm

how much use/benefit would those compression tops be to a casual runner like myself?

BeepBeep67 · 21-03-2011 10:08pm

Never had any issues with the socks - worth a punt on the compression socks at 5yoyos.

I have them from the last time & find them great.

I got the same socks in the last sale and have never had better ones.

PaulieC · 21-03-2011 10:58pm

Maybe the ones I got were different. They were more like generic 'sports' socks. Anyway at that price it's always worth a punt

A compression top is useless for a runner.
Compression shorts may help with reducing muscle soreness, but opinion is divided.

Useless compression, but great for stopping nipple chafing when worn under a normal running top

Socks are some of the best out there IMO and the shorts are well worth it as well

BeepBeep67 · 28-03-2011 1:01pm

Picked up some compression socks this morning - seem pretty well constructed - proof will be how they wash and wear. Picked up some shorts also.

PaulieC · 28-03-2011 1:59pm

got a couple of tops...the compressions vests and the running top. Cheap as chips

Had a few pairs before, they do last well but you do get better comprerssion for the better brands.

PaulieC · 28-03-2011 11:17pm

The running tops are brilliant. Definitely going back for the next specials

opus · 29-03-2011 7:31am

Wasn't much left when I called in after work but did manage to get a few socks (along with some groceries). Guess going there before work would have been the thing to do.

Cabaal · 29-03-2011 7:47am

Picked up some items yesterday, again not much left and that was during the day.

runrabbit · 29-03-2011 8:14am

Called in after work - not a single pair of socks left in size 4-5 (were there any to start with?) no womens clothing in a small size either. Annoying as it is so far out of my way to get there :mad:

aficionado · 29-03-2011 10:19am

Popped into the one in Rathmines last night, Was very little left, manage to grab one of the last pair of socks, They look quite good

shels4ever · 29-03-2011 10:24am

I find the sizes for the shorts really funnny, Large really are large.....

menoscemo · 29-03-2011 10:51pm

The latest Lidl socks seem to be the best ever (based on tonights run).

The compression tops (like the shorts) seem to be quite big for their size, but a nice quality.

Yep, I bought two pairs yesterday and wore them tonight...they seem v good...Also bought a pair of compression shorts but I think the kids have hidden them already....Happened before with a pair of 5 inch shorts:eek:

osnola ibax · 29-03-2011 11:13pm

3 tops, 2 compression shorts, 4 pairs socks and jacket. Jacket is a bit dodge. Handy enough though.

leggit · 30-03-2011 6:46pm

1 pair of socks

At least they were in my size! I knew I should have went down on Monday, hopefully they'll have them again soon.

webpal · 31-03-2011 2:16pm

Have just been to the one in wexford and they have tonnes of stuff left. Got some socks so i'm going to give them a try

BananaR · 31-03-2011 2:37pm

Got the whole works on Monday evening. They had quite a lot left in the Moore Street branch. The socks are excellent , so really glad managed to get multiple pairs of those. Feet sorted for quite a while. Picked up 1 of the Ladies tops in size Small, but when I got this home it was very loose fitting, so these were much larger fit than previous tops. Would say the XS was equivalent of small. Also very happy with the capri trousers with zip pocket at the back. Never enough running gear with zip pockets! All in all thought the selection of gear was quite good & once again, cheap as chips.

For anyone who missed out, Aldi have roughly the same mix of running gear next Thursday (7th Apr). Not on their site yet but saw the leaflet.
