Review on Samsox 2 Pair Merino Running Socks by Kevin Harmon

Revainrating 3 out of 5

too thin, very little cushioning, slippery, slides down

I bought these shoes because of their claims of cushioning, heel support and good reviews. Well, they don't work for me for serious business. "Mix"? Not enough to be called a write-off. Instead they are very thin, thin enough that I can see my skin through them. Also slippery - they slide easily in my shoes (also because they are so thin) but also slide down when walking - not down, not even over the heel, but under the heel of the boot. And they slip on my heel when I take off my shoes. They appear to be high quality wool, soft, breathable, but maybe 34% nylon is too much - hence they are slippery and won't stay in place. Maybe nylon in the gulf shouldn't be more than 20-25%? I don't know, but I need to find socks that actually cushion, not just the manufacturer's imagination.

Pros
  • Delivery was very fast
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.
