Review on ๐Ÿƒ Ultimate Comfort for Runners: Thorlos XJ Max Cushion Running Crew Socks by Nathaniel Collins

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Can Thorlo Soft Running Socks be improved?

These are my favorite socks for softness, comfort and feel, especially after many washes. However, the main issue I have with these socks is that the top of the sock wears down and eventually loses all of its elasticity causing the sock to slip down to the ankles. Below is a photo of a worn sock that I will soon be throwing away. The wear and tear gets worse over time and at some point I stopped buying these socks. I've tried half a dozen or more brands of socks, none of which I liked as much as the new socks for the Thorlo running team. So I recently bought two new pairs of Thorlos to see if they are any better than my previous pairs. The new sock is significantly reinforced at the top of the sock. See attached photo with reinforcement. If these socks hold up well I'll give them 5 stars and buy more!
