  I bought these for my runner husband who says that they are cool to run in the summer but offer very good support to the foot in ths running shoe and thinks he will get fewer blisters from using them.
  
  Good price too!

  I was looking for new cycling socks to replace my really old Performance brand ones. These were the first to pop up on Amazon and they came out to be a bit over three bucks a pair. The first thing I noticed was that these are not soft–but after you put them on you don’t notice because they fit so snug. That was the second thing I noticed–they’re a really tight fit. I wear a size 11 shoe and if I bought any more of these I’d be tempted to try XLs. The opening in particular is really tight on two of the three pairs I got, making them really hard to slip on and off. Also the front of the opening comes up much farther on the ankle than the back. They are not cushioned at all on the soles like my Performance socks were…but these were half the price so I’m not surprised. These also don’t seem to have as much arch support but they fit so tight it’s hard to tell–they’re like compression shorts for your feet. Another thing I’ve noticed is they collect lint and hair like crazy–not like static but through the material. Also keep in mind this is a multi-color pack. Personally I’d really rather have all the exact same socks so I don’t have to match them and if I lose one (which I have now) it won’t matter as much. Bottom line though, if you don’t want to spend more money these are a safe bet for a basic higher-end athletic sock. They come in women’s too: ASICS Women’s Tactel Microfiber Low Quarter Running Sock (3-Pack) (Assorted,Medium).
