I was very skeptical because of the many positive reviews. I thought maybe the company offers free product reviews. but I was wrong. It's really awesome. I originally bought these for running as it is recommended to use polyester socks instead of cotton socks. When they fitted my shoes they tried to force me to buy balaga socks but they cost $13 for A PAIR but they don't. I went to the reliable Revain and snagged them instead by checking out a few guys with reviews. They were equally comfortable and comparable. No chafing on feet, no blisters on heels or toe balls, no smell. This is a shared victory. I am buying two more packs to wear every day.
