Review on Breathable Compression No-Show Ankle Toe Socks For Men And Women - Ideal For Running And Fitness Activities With 5-Finger Design. by Joe Vazquez

I bought these socks with high hopes, based on reviews, but have found them somewhat disappointing. The material becomes quite stiff and tight after a few washes, making it hard to put the socks on and get them sitting right. I wash all my workout gear with mild detergents on gentle cycles at low temperatures, never tumble-dry them, and our water is pretty soft - other similar socks haven't ended up like this, so it's something to do with the fibres in this particular brand of socks.Within a few months of purchasing, I noticed that they started wearing thin on the end of each big toe. Since buying them, I've been working on a 10km training programme, so they're not getting a huge amount of use. I purchased similar socks from another brand in August 2018 and have worn those for several half-marathon training programmes as well as this current 10km programme. There's no sign of wear on the much-older socks despite many more hours of training in them, so these socks are clearly much less robust.Once I get the socks on and I'm working out, they're OK for comfort, and the thickness is pretty good. Just really disappointed that I only got a few months of wear out of them before they became useless, compared to over 2 years with a different brand. I won't be buying these again.
