Better than expected

By Backcountry.com Employee April 4, 2006

I have to admit, I was cynical of these socks at first. The hefty price tag didn't seem worth it, but as promised, these socks are pretty rad. At first I didn't buy the whole story that they would keep my feet cooler and more protected, and at first, they didn't. My feet were sweating like a dirty cop at an Internal Affairs investigation; BUT I washed them a few times and now they do actually keep my feet super comfortable and cool. And, despite the heavy washings and lots of abuse (mostly skateboarding - not hiking) these socks still maintain their original shape, support, and cushion. My feet feel better in these socks and they seem to perform better. The support is killer. It's like having a comfortable compression band around your whole foot and ankle.
