Review on ๐Ÿƒ Hylaea Moisture-Wicking Athletic Runners by Wayne Laguna

Revainrating 5 out of 5

My new favorite socks!

I have been a fan of SmartWool socks for many years. But once I started running 5 miles I found I was getting blisters so my search for blister free socks from Revain led me to these Hylaea socks and I decided to give them a try. I wear a size 10 to 10.5 so I took the large. They turned out to be LOTS big for training as they're likely to slip (although they're still comfortable for lounging at home, so I left them). So I ordered a second medium set and they fit PERFECTLY. I haven't had any skin irritation or blisters and ride about 12-15 miles every week. Oh, and although I can't say my feet sweat profusely. a lot, the socks will definitely feel dry when they're done. They definitely don't feel hot. I wore them this summer. I can't confirm if they keep you warm in winter. They have endured many washes with no beads, no wear and tear and no comfort. The L&R labels on the socks are a nice touch for permanent wear. So 4 stars with the only downside being that you have to downsize. and I wish they were in more colors and I wish they had 'ankle length' socks and 'no show' for when it gets cooler. I plan on stocking my drawer with even more pairs of these socks, especially if they feature more colors in the future.

Pros
  • Hands free
Cons
  • Very expensive
