 Excellent For Trail Running December 9, 2007
I've bought two pair so far. I use them for trail running and some running on pavement, but not for everyday wear. I once accidentally took two different socks with me when walking a trail...this was a real eye-opener, and I advise anyone who does a lot of running or walking to try this sometime. The Thorlo was clearly more comfortable on downhill segments, which are more stressful in trail running. Also, they are offered in an extra large size for us big guys, and this also makes them more comfortable for me.
I have washed these a few times and not seen the pilling mentioned elsewhere yet. Our daughters have worn a similar Thorlo in the past, and they do pill eventually. But I'm not a fashion plate when running and this is not a big issue for me.
Five stars.
Best Socks in the World! November 8, 2007
I've been wearing these socks for years while I've been running or otherwise not having to be "dressed up." They last for years, are comfortable, warm and really cushion my old feet! None better.
THE BEST SOCK!!! July 28, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
The comfort provided by the thick-cushioned Thorlo sock exceeds all other socks that I have ever worn. In fact, after purchasing a multiple supply of Thorlos, I immediately placed a second order to assure myself that I would always have these socks available. I gave away all other socks to Goodwill.
As my major hobby is gardening and since I'm a pedestrian and not a driver, I'm on my feet more than most people. This Thorlo product aids in my gardening and walking activities.
I machine wash the Thorlos in luke warm water on a low speed cycle and I dry them on a clothesline. While hanging them, I stretch each sock, which is just a habit, but I think is useful to maintain a proper fit. If you treat these socks right, they will reciprocate.
I hope you have as much luck with the Thorlo sock as I have experienced.
Thorlo has no equal June 8, 2007
As a ski instructor, I discovered Thorlo years ago, then as a avid hiker I tried their hiking socks, and was just as impressed. There is no equal. Padded toes and heals make all the difference, these are simply the best.
 Great Cushioning Sock! May 13, 2007
4 out of 5 found this review helpful
I bought this Thorlo Running sock because of the thick cushioning in the pad & ball of the foot. It also has a moderate cushion in the arch. I had foot surgery on the ball/arch of my foot a few months ago and need these thick socks to cushion the bottom of my foot. I am wearing them with adjustable Teva's since I can't wear shoes yet. In my case I got them a size larger than I wear because my foot is still swollen from my surgery. But they run true to size, so if you're ordering for normal use, order your regular size. If you were to wear these with your regular athletic shoes, you would most likely need to go up half a shoe size to accomodate these very thick socks. As far as comfort these socks are fantastic. I didn't give them 5 stars because only after two washings they developed fuzz and strings. I also have a pair of Thorlo Hiking socks and walking socks with the same problem. But for me it's worth it to put up with the "Stringy" look in exchange for the comfort! Thorlos are great for anyone who has planter problems or who needs extra cushioning to prevent blisters while walking, running, golfing, working out or hiking. They have different levels of protection, depending on what your use or need is.
