Simply The Best Socks Ever!!!

As far as fit and function goes these socks are the best. Being a long distance endurance athlete these socks will keep your feet cool, dry, and blister free in the hottest summer days or the coldest winter nights. Take a look at the grey sock version - do you see the little black dashes, well those ensure that the socks don't shift while on your feet. These socks have the perfect amount of cushion and I have used them for a couple of marathons and a Ironman. One cushion step up you will find The PhD Ultra socks, but these have too much padding so I would stick with Ultra Light instead and that is coming from a little bigger endurance boy 5'9 @ 165 lbs. These socks look great in grey and WON'T SURE dirt. Lastly if you are a no-show lover then these are as close to no-show as you get out there. If you JUST BARELY fit into the sock size recommended range then I would size down. I have ordered these socks three separate times from Backcountry.com - each time I have increased my order count. Unfortunately the rest of my old socks just sit in a drawer because I'm not really sure why I would wear anything else. Also as a rare gift giver myself, this is just too good of a gift not to give the people you care about. I have bought dad and the gf a pair.
