Pure Athlete Padded Walking Socks Men, Women – Thick Ankle Cotton Blister Cushion Sock

Until 4 days ago, I just thought socks were socks. 10 pack at Target for $4.99, awesome! Then I started walking more and more every day, between 3 and 5 miles. After 3 weeks I had those infamous blisters start appearing. At first I put some cortizone and a band aid over it and taped it. This made me not feel pain for those spots, but it didn't prevent others from appearing. I started feeling them develop half way through my walk and I would adjust my step to avoid that spot, but that causes other issues. So I went to Amazon thinking there's got to be some technology now to prevent these. I found these socks at $10 PER FREAKING PAIR!!! I looked at all the options and read the reviews, and of course with the intention to use Amazon's hassle-free return policy, I purchased them and anxiously awaited the 2 days for arrival. In the mean time, I listened to Amazon Prime music just like the site recommends, and voila, there they were! I was sorely disappointed upon opening them. I mean, for $10 a pair, I expected a power adapter and bluetooth technology at the VERY least! But alas, neither of those accessories were included. I proceeded to put the socks on - buyer beware: there were no instructions included either (except on how to properly wash and dry)! Then I walked the first night 3 miles... the second day over 4 miles, the third day 5 miles, and so far today another 2 miles. This was not all accomplished with the same pair of socks, I must say, I have not even had one inkling of a blister as I had been receiving before. No more pain and I can walk without having to adjust my walk or slow down the pace. I am already ordering a second six-pack (though my drinking habits have nothing to do with this particular product), and I will also be replacing all my existing socks with these. It is expensive, but I will also add that they appear to be very durable and well made. It was great "walking" to you about these socks! HAHA!

These socks are well made and I’m certain most people will like them. Unfortunately they’re not what I was looking for. I have neuropathy on one foot and plantar fasciitis on the other. Wearing thick padded hiking socks in high quality running shoes with custom orthotics helps a lot. But with warm/hot weather approaching I was looking for a lightweight sock with thicker padding on the soles. These are nice, lightweight socks, with some padding, but not enough for my personal needs. I think most buyers will really like them.

I had thought I bought the pack of socks for my son who has grown into adult shoe sizes recently (my size). This was a quick purchase and when I received just one pair, I quickly reviewed my order to discover that I had indeed bought 1 pair of $15 socks for my son. So I chalked it up to me not being more careful when I click. Then I thought...no way am I going to let my kid wear a $15 pair of socks when he goes tromping out side without shoes on all the time. So I tried them on...and I must say that these are now my favorite socks. They feel so good and squishy in my running shoes. I am considering getting a few more pairs. This was a happy accident. Except now I have to buy more socks for my son.

I gave these a 5 star because of the quality and padding I need. They do run a little big. I wear a 9 1/2 shoe (women's) because I wear special braces in my shoes. I found these much more comfortable than the Thorlos padded socks (which run a little small). I prefer these for comfort. I reordered in a S/M and found these to be a PERFECT fit. I ordered 4 more pair! Best sock I've ever come across. I'm 71 years old so I've gone through a lot of sock over the years. These are the BEST.

They're great! When I first wore them, I thought they may be too heavy for warm/hot weather, but they're not. Even though they're heavy, they're great in freezing and in hot weather. They're comfy and feel like they'll last forever.

First of all the socks came quickly and wel packaged. I have restless leg syndrome and find it very difficult to sleep. These socks are very therapeutic tight near the anchors and soft under foot. My legs ar calm at night so I sleep well. When I walk in them they cushion the foot plant extremely well.

Dubiously I ordered this sock after a walking trip in Canada, but wearing them now in comparison is like walking on a cloud. When I first slipped these walking socks on I thought they would be bulky and uncomfortable, especially with shoes. These socks are GREAT and add comfort as well as protection to all the right spots. Hot for summer? These socks are no hotter than other socks and for the superior comfort they afford a little warmth in the shoe is not a deterrent. Finally! A comfortable all day walking sock.

Simply the most comfortable socks I've ever owned. Great cushioning and arch support. They're a tiny bit snug (I ordered s/m based on my size 7 women's shoe size), but a minor detail. I wish they came in solid gray, but aside from that, most supportive, comfortable socks I've ever had. After foot surgery a while back, my foot isn't just always more sensitive, especially for standing or walking long periods of time. I need extra cushioning that socks in department stores don't seem to offer. These are a bit pricey, but fixes my sore feet problem 100%, so they're well worth it.
