Review on πŸ‘Ÿ Balega Blister Resist Ethereal Medium: Your Ultimate Footwear Solution by Chris Chincuanco

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Poor workmanship and quality control

Photos tell a story. I have no issues with toe seams and can see my toes as some other reviewers have noted, but the medial side of the foot doesn't fit well in either of the socks. I wear shoes in sizes 10.5-11 depending on the brand so I ordered a large one. The sock size is not a problem. These socks definitely won't last long and it shows that Baleg's skill isn't what it used to be. Not to mention the advertised quality control right down to the stickers with the name and face of the person who personally tested this pair of socks. Since the breaking point is at the seam between the top and bottom edge, it should be checked regularly whether the sticker is just a gimmick. This is my second pair of Balega socks, the first was buying their hidden comfort socks in 2014 which I have always loved and have lasted me for 6 years with occasional semi regular use. I had no reason to buy a second pair, but I've become more active lately and wanted to try another pair. This will be the last pair of socks I will order from Balega and I cannot recommend their product more.

Pros
  • Hands-free operation
Cons
  • Weight
