Great Material, Bad Shape Cocona No-Show Sock

By MagicLantern August 15, 2008

I've used these socks probably a dozen times since I purchased them. I love the material, lightweight, sturdy, doesn't accumulate 'stink'. I've used them for trail running and just wearing everyday.

However, the fatal flaw of these socks is the cut of the ankle line - lower in the back then in the front. Due to the fact that the back of the sock is super low, every pair of running shoes I have goes higher then the sock. This causes really bad chafing (perhaps due to the edge of the fabric being below the top of the shoe). After one 8 mile run the chafing was so bad that the skin over my achilles was bleeding... That's when I decided that these socks just don't cut it for running.
