Happy FCushy sock - Very cushioned sock. Have been wearing them for years. Durable. Well worth the expense.

Brad AThorlos rock your socks off!I can't recommend these highly enough. They're expensive, but worth it if you're a high mileage or a marathon-training runner. They are super thick and cushioned along the heel, toe bed and the arch. I'm marathon training and I won't run in anything else--I've never had a blister running in these.They hold up well too - I machine wash and dry (turning the socks inside out to fluff the cushion) these every time I run and they still look and perform as if they were new. If anything, they get more comfortable. I do not recommend using fabric softeners of any type with these though - the chemicals in them seem to mat down the cushioning a bit.One other thing to note - the cushioning on these is so thick that the running shoes I wear with them I buy a half size larger. My normal size is too tight with these socks. I recommend you test out these socks with the shoes you plan to wear with them so you can adjust accordingly.

Rachelle WGreat Sock - I run Ultras and have done a number of 100s. A good sock is a key component for a successful ultra run. Thorlos are the best socks. I use them in conjunction with an Ingingi toe sock and have finished most of my races with no foot problems. These are very long wear socks and provide a great deal of padding where it is needed. Don't be turned off by the price. You will be wearing these socks long after others have been thrown away. They are well worth the price. I won't use any other crew sock for my running.

Angie3,500 and Still Counting - I have put well over 3,500 hard, all weather miles on one pair of Thorlos running socks and they still work great! I ware them all the time even when I'm not running. Discovering Thorlos is the best thing I ever did for my feet. I just wish they could be found in all stores selling socks so everyone could benefit from the best socks ever made. I feel so sorry for any runner when I see them buying another brand. We could all use a little blister prevention. In this case an ounce of prevention can take you over 3,500 miles. Thanks Thorlos!

Best Socks for Your Feet - I first discovered Thorlos back in 1997 when I was training for the Bataan Memorial Death March (26.2 miles in White Sands, NM). Back then I only wore the military boot socks, but then I started wearing the hiking and running socks. I refuse to wear anything else. They are by far the best socks that you can buy for your feet. I've never gotten blisters on my feet and they feel great!
