I’ve been having trouble with blisters with other socks (I don’t think it was just the socks but that is a story for a different review). I wanted a thicker softer sock with plenty of cushioning. I settled on trying two brands. The other brand was just ok (it was significantly less expensive). These are fantastic. I’ve bought a total of 21 pairs and I couldn’t be happier.I currently walk 5 miles a day and these are just very comfortable socks. I love the fact that they have a left and a right sock that give correct arch support to each foot. They are nice and thick and so far no blisters (I’ve probably had them for about 3 or 4 weeks so far). I love the variety of colors (not that anyone can really see them). The quality seems very good.I would recommend these without hesitation . . . they are a bit more expensive than similar socks from other makers but so far for me they are well worth the price.
