Product Description

Balega socks are engineered with the company's proprietary drynamix moisture management technology that keeps feet cool and dry while allowing free airflow for maximum comfort, performance and durability.  All of Balega running socks have been race tested and incorporate a hand linked seamless toe, eliminating abrasion across the top of the foot. The company also knits an extra deep heel pocket ensuring that each sock fits the foot perfectly and does not slide down during a run. Designed with a medium volume construction.

Soft thick socks but sizing
4 out of 5 stars
Soft thick socks but sizing
Definitely thick socks however sizing sometimes are off. I bought two pairs and one pair is much larger than the other even though I ordered both as small. This has happened a few times to me. Wish they were a little more consistent with sizing.

    I walked all day in these and I don't get blisters or pain. Feet don't sweat and no pilling on the material. I've been only buying this brand for athletic socks. Not sure if they make casual socks, but would purchase and try those.

    I use this for work (8 hours of constant walking), gymming, and pretty much everyday use. Very comfortable and quite warm indoors during the winter time.

    I bought 10 pairs of these socks and threw away all my old ones. Highly recommend.
