I have been wearing these socks almost exclusively for the past 15 years. They are expensive, but they do last a long time. I probably get five years out of them. Putting on a new pair feels like pulling something out of the dryer. (A new pair for me is anything less than about a year old.) I'm a bigger guy. I love the extra padding in the heel and ball. I'm not very good with trimming my toe nails. These socks don't seem to mind as much as others. If you want to buy cheap socks from a warehouse store, go ahead. You will end up spending more.

I run 10K about 4-5 times a week and I have had four pair of these socks for a couple years. They are in great shape still. I tried quite a few different smart wool running socks but after trying these I haven't wanted to look for a new running sock.

These socks are very expensive, but my husband has arthritis in his feet and these socks have cut down a lot on his discomfort when exercising or golfing. Even better than insoles or wearing multiple pairs of socks. Note that there are specific washing/drying instructions that should be followed to keep the cushioning cushion-y!

At first I thought these were too expensive, but they are defintly worth it, especially since I can not find warm thick socks that are loose at the ankles in the store anymore. I love these socks! They are very good for winter. They are warm, thick, loose at the ankles, excellent cushioning, comfortable, and durable.

I've been thinking that it might be time to get some more Thorlos. The old ones are starting to get thin in places.

No, not the ones I bought three years ago. Those are fine. The ten year old ones are starting to give up the ghost, and I've had to toss a number of them.

But I'm not going to complain about 10 year old socks (worn and washed an average of once every couple of weeks) that get worn out.

They got me through my marathon and solved one problem by adding a bit more cushioning along the side of my foot, but I ended up with huge blisters on/behind my big toes as the socks tended to bunch up.

First off, I'm not a runner. But I tend to do a lot of walking around the city and have put many miles on my shoes and socks. These socks are great, because they are made of a soft synthetic fiber that doesn't rub on your foot, even when they get sweaty or wet.

I've worn cotton socks, they compress when wet and I've noticed they are abrasive on the insides of my shoes. These socks seem a lot softer on my shoes, and it takes longer to wear through the insoles of my shoes with these.

I would recommend not wearing the same pair of shoes two days in a row, to let them breath if you are experiencing foot odor problems. I didn't have any problems with these, but I rotate my shoes to help them last longer. (I used to sell shoes in college.)

I walk a few miles every day and since I got these socks I have not had a single blister or hotspot on my feet. What surprised me most is that my knees even felt better. After the first workout with these socks, I was a loyal customer for life. TOTALLY RECOMMENDED PRODUCT

Bought my first pair in 1996 while in basic training at the United States Air Force Academy. Been wearing them since. The cushioning and the length of time it takes to wear a whole in these is unbeatable. Worth every penny.

I am training to run a marathon and the pounding of the pavement under my feet was really making them hurt, UNTIL NOW! These socks are amazing! Only wish they weren't so expensive! They are worth it though!
