My husband socks always wear out at the toes, but not these! We've tried all the "working" sock brands and nothing has held up like these have. Fabulous too for the hot, humid weather of SW Florida. Please don't stop making these socks! Their wonderful!!!
These are thin, not midweight or thick...something to keep in mind. They ARE cooler than regular sports socks; they don't keep in the heat/moisture as much.
I wore these this past weekend (09/2009) on a nice 70 degree day hike in the Olympic National Forest (and parts of the Olympic National Park). Though they do not have any true padding they did keep my feet cool and moisture free. The hike itself was only about 3 miles the day I wore these but they are good socks for short hikes like these. Personally, I prefer a more padded sock but these these were never meant to be that so I'm quite satisfied with them for a either working out on a treadmill, walking for exercise, or on a medium length hike. A nice light, moisture wicking sock.
