Find Best Price at Amazon"I have a number of pairs of Balega socks which I've worn for running, and the Soft Tread is my favorite overall. I've bought five different types of Balega socks in total: Balega Soft Tread No Show (Balega Soft Tread No Show - Royal BAL8926). Balega Ultralight No Show (Balega Ultralight No Show Socks - Royal Blue/White - Small). Balega Hidden Contour (Balega Hidden Contour Socks, Black/Yellow, Large). Balega Hidden Comfort -- THIS PRODUCT. Balega Blister Resist No Show (Balega Blister Resist No Show Socks, White, Large). The Balega Ultralight are very thin and rather smaller--especially in comparison to the other models. They are both a bit thicker and larger than the Soft Tread socks, but they are comfortable and nicer for winter weather, when I tend to wear them running. I like the Soft Tread best (for running) because they are thick enough to be padded and comfortable, but I have to pull them snug on my feet so there is no room for my feet to move against the sock. Though the Hidden Comfort came with an L on each sock, that stands for "Large", not "Left"."
"I have arthritis and these are comfortable and well padded to soften my steps in my exercise shoes."
"The socks are not too thin nor too thick."
"Recently wore them for a half marathon in the rain and they did not budge."
"For one thing, they don't slip down off my heels, even if I sleep in them as foot warmers."
"I wear shoe size 10 - 10.5 so I odered a pair of these in large, and the fit is good."
"They have the right amount of cushion without being too bulky or leaving your foot too squishy inside your shoe."
"My husband says that these are some of the most cushioning, comfortable running socks he has ever worn and he's training for a marathon and doing 15-20 mile runs in these."
Blister Resist socks combine mohair and Drynamix for the perfect blend between nature and technology, keeping feet cool and dry.

"These are pretty seamless and don’t bother me, especially for a thicker sock with cushioning (usually those are the worst offenders with toe seams)."
"Never going back to normal socks again -- wool all the way."
"Great socks!"
"They are thicker so keep that in mind if you prefer thin running socks."
"I love these, they offer great support and cushion!"
"I love these socks and am building up a collection of them to wear everyday."

Quality compression sock (Top quality like all Gold Toe socks). Excellent compression. Thin dress sock (made for a dress shoe). True knee-high sock. Stays up nicely and doesn’t dig in at top. Perfect quality after several washes. Best quality for the price that I have found. Fytto Style 1067 Men's Comfy Travel and Dress Compression Socks, 15-20mmHg, Knee High, Large, Black ($12.60 Prime). Similar to Gold Toe but one notch down in quality. Not quite as nice feel as Gold Toe (closer to ladies nylon feel than men’s dress sock). Shows some wear after several washes. Less compression than others (15-20mmHg instead of 20-30mmHg like most others on this review list). 2nd best quality for the price that I have found. (2 products with same review). Futuro Restoring Dress Socks for Men, Black, Large, Firm (20-30 mm/Hg) ($11.49 Prime - also sold @ Wal Mart). Austin House Flight Socks (Large) (~$12 inc shipping). Cheap compression dress socks (Futuro sold @ Wal Mart). Basically thick ladies nylons (not so nice). Slippery in shoe (nylon). Decent compression. True knee-high sock. Stays up reasonably well (falls only a few times a day). Digs in a bit at top band of sock (helps sock fall down less but can be uncomfortable). Quality fades after several washes. Terramed Organic Cotton Graduated compression Men's Socks Dress Travel Performance Stockings (20-30 mmHg) (X-Large, White) ($24.99 Prime). Nice soft cotton feel (they are indeed cotton). They need to be taller and need to somehow figure out how to make elasticity last longer (maybe a couple % less cotton and more spandex). Vitalsox Patented Performance Graduated Compression Socks, White, Large ($17.29 - $33 Prime depending on color (white is $20.21). (Seems to be very similar to Travelsox and Eurosocks brands found on Amazon). Sports style (a bit thicker than dress sock and much more cotton-like feel). 7 color choices – even purple if that’s your thing! Italian made (ooh ahh). Excellent quality. Excellent compression. Soft feel (close to cotton feel). Stays up nicely. Quality holds after several washes. I highly recommend (for sport style socks). Jobst Compression Socks – Rolls Royce of compression socks… get them if you can afford to! A note on Jobst – These are the compression socks that you get at medical supply stores and range from low compression to crazy high medical compression. Great compression. Relief socks feel much more like thick ladies nylons than Medical, which feels like a fancy dress sock. These are fantastic socks as well but note that they are much thicker than other sports style compression socks."
"I won't go to a smaller size even if I had skinny calves as the sock padding along the foot fits perfect. Can't say I noticed a lot of performance benefits while working out, but they were comfortable and didn't slide around in the shoe even when mixing up the speeds and inclines quite a bit. I also wore them overnight and found them comfortable and that my legs felt more refreshed in the morning."
"We both have different health conditions that warrant our wearing compression socks, which was my initial reason for researching and purchasing these socks for myself, and then him after a stay in the hospital for blood clots."
"He now owns a few pair and we are slowly adding to the collection (hard to spend $20 on socks no matter how good!)."
"I’ve had other brands of compression socks and these are by far the best I’ve tried."

*We. always. recommend installing LOCK LACES with your foot in the shoe to ensure a proper fit. We recommend cutting 2-3 inches below the lock to leave room for adjustment. It is very important that you align the ends of the laces with these "teeth" to ensure that the clip stays securely attached. Added compression reduces pressure points to make your feet feel better throughout the day so you can perform your best! PERFECT FOR EVERYONE: LOCK LACES are a great gift for seniors suffering from arthritis or other disabilities, autistic children, runners looking to speed their triathlon transition up, or casual users.

"It's a drag alone to have to constantly tie your shoes that are on your actual feet, but even more so tieing your shoes when it's on a prosthetic leg. Thanks to these laces I never have to tie my shoes again."
"My son is 12, has fine motor skills ranging from 3-5yrs old and is independent with these laces."
"-Each pack comes with 2 laces, 2 locks, and 2 clips for the ends, all in a nice resealable plastic bag, which I used to store my old laces just in case. (I think stretching them that much would to fit your shoes would cut off blood circulation though). -Lacing your shoes with Lock Laces is a lot like lacing with normal laces. Once you finish using all of the holes in your shoes, or the ones that you want to, squeeze the locking mechanism and put the laces' ends through the two holes. If it doesn't feel right, make adjustments to the tension on the laces until it is most comfortable."
"I'm a marathon runner and use elastic laces on all my running shoes to avoid the typical shoe laces issues."
"I wasn't sure about them, because they are elastic and with a clipless riding shoe one uses their foot to lift the pedal for extra speed and strength, but these laces do a great job holding my foot surely in my shoe as it is clipped to my pedal. I'm not sure I'd put them on a pair of combat boots, but as far as riding, running, and walking shoes, these laces are fantastic."
