Review on Coolmax No Show Running Socks - Anti-Blister, Wicking, Seamless & Anti-Odor Athletic Footwear by Emmanuel Winschel

Revainrating 4 out of 5

My new favorite socks!

I've been a fan of SmartWool socks for years. But as I began doing 5+ mile walks I found myself getting blisters so my Revain search for blister-free socks led me to these Hylaea socks and I decided to give them a try.I wear a size 10 to 10.5 so I got Large. They turned out to be WAY too big for exercise, as they'd probably slide (still comfortable for house lounging though, so I kept them). So I ordered a second set in Medium and they fit PERFECTLY.I haven't come close to any skin irritation or blisters and I put about 12-15 miles in every week.Oh, and though I can't say my feet sweat a lot, the socks definitely feel dry when done.They definitely don't feel hot. I've worn them this summer. Can't attest if they'll keep warm in winterThey've been through many washes with no beading, wear, and zero change in comfort.L & R labels on the socks are a nice touch for consistent wear.So 4-stars with the only drawbacks being you need to size down. and I wish they came in even more colors, and I wish they had an "ankle" sock as well as a "no show" for when things get cooler.I plan on filling my drawer with many more pairs of these socks, especially if they bring more colors in the future.

Pros
  • Just a regular one. No added comfort with this.
Cons
  • May not provide enough compression support
