X-Socks Energizer Running Sock - 2007 BCS

I bought these for full price, two and a half years ago! Along with another pair of X-socks, I wore these every other day, and threw the rest of my "useless" socks away. I say useless because cotton is very handy at dusting off picture frames. I let my friends borrow these when they run marathons - I don't "run" but I appreciate how a sock can make my whole day more pleasurable by keeping my feet from aching and stinking up the whole place. I use these to ski, to "jog", and especially to work. This was before X-Bionic made "work" socks. They have gotten holes in them, but after 365+ days of extreme use, I'll fork over an additional $40 for the sock that showed my feet the light.

After many years of running I developed chronic strains of my calves. These socks (over-the-calf) with good compression are great. I feel the calf start to tighten up but now it has enough support that I can keep running and it doesn't get strained. The padding, etc is nice too.

All the europeans were wearing a similar sock at a recent 150mile race and say they wear them in MDS desert race as well. Really comfortable sock. They got too hot in 2hr training in trails during summer on east coast. I wore them in rockies on cold day. They stay up and you dont notice them. I love the x sock design around the foot -Just like the speed one, they have great support and still feel light around the foot.

A tight fitting sock that is supposed to help circulate your blood. After long hours...my calves were thankful for the extra support.

I bought these for basketball, I noticed my legs cramped up after the 5th or 6th pick up basketball game in a row. I will never play without these socks again, they worked well beyond what I thought, they are not a gimmick they are the real deal
