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."
"I’ve had other brands of compression socks and these are by far the best I’ve tried."

"They are thin enough that I can wear them under a medium weight pair of wool socks and still have room in my boots for air circulation. I have tried the half type socks where your toes stick out and have found that these cut off the circulation where they end at the base of your toes."
"I had no pain or swelling at from morning through the end of the night. I have worn these socks every single day, except for one day when none were clean, and I have no pain or swelling or anything at all.....the one day I did not wear them, which I thought would be no big deal, I was in so much pain and all swollen by afternoon. These socks are thin so now that winter is here and it's been very cold here I can easily wear them under warmer socks in the snow and they don't bulk up mu shoes or boots at all."
"Most socks are more for plantar fasciities[sic], these socks were especially good for the ball of my foot, and ankle."
"At first, when I wore the sock the pressure seemed too great, but my foot quickly adjusted, and I could comfortably wear the sock all day long."
"Finally, compression socks that helps my son's PF."
"I've used so many different types of compression socks and these are by far my favorite."
"Purchased for MIL she seems to like them said they help with the swelling and her foot issues (I think she said Plantar Fasciitis but not positive) She did say they were tight but I mentioned they needed to be for the compression to work."

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."

Had any neighbors pulled in at that moment and peeked through the frost-lined windows they would have seen an aging hippie, clad in faded jammie bottoms and a black T-shirt with a peace sign in the center, dancing around the living room like an idiot, pointing gleefully at his feet upon which were a brand new pair of stupid-expensive socks, and a Golden Retriever quietly snickering under the table. I work from home in an old farmhouse in northwest Iowa - the high temperature today is supposed to be about two below zero - so my feet are constantly achingly cold, even if I wear two pairs of socks and my flappy-flappy slippers... But since I've started wearing these socks my feet haven't ached at all - I can easily walk on the old hard, frigid floors without worry. Considering the fantastic warranty and the wondrous quality of these socks, they're not so stupid-expensive after all - I anticipate a few pairs of these miracles will pay for themselves over time (I usually go through fifteen or twenty pairs of super-cheap tube socks a year), and the joy of having comfortable feetsies in the winter is something you young whippersnappers will understand someday... Now where's my beer - I have more shopping to do..."
"My husband, who has stinky feet unless he wears cotton rich blend socks, did an experiment. We went snow tubing at 25 degrees F and put these over our smaller kids other socks and their feet stayed warm. There's no thinning or wear showing on the heel or ball area of the foot. I am a size 10 women's shoe and my husband is a men's 8. I plan to replace all of my family's sock with the Darn Tough brand a little at a time!"
"I live in Wisconsin, where warm socks are a must if you spend time outdoors in the winter. These are good socks, but Heat Holders socks are much better!"
"Easily the best sock I've ever worn !!!"
"Expensive socks but worth it."
"Wasn't sure they were worth the money."

"Most small sizes are too big for me but these are the opposite coming out too tight."
"It's definitely a new experience putting something one that clings to your legs for dear life, but the level of comfort from wearing these versus basketball shorts is no contest."
"I can't see cycling more than twenty miles or so without a pair of these shorts. One thing I noticed when shopping for cycling shorts was that the big sports stores sold a brand such as Nike nearly exclusively."
"I'm a bigger guy (240lbs) so I was hesitant to buy shorts since I figured I'm not everyone's first choice when it comes to being seen in skin tight pants. I also washed them after my ride and they came out of the washer just fine (make sure to follow the instructions and do not put them in the dryer)."
"I ride single track trails pretty aggressively and have bailed off the bike many times and even gone OTB."
"I didn't want to spend an arm and a leg on shorts but at the same time I didn't want any of the el cheapo shorts that are out there."
"I was therefore happy with the fit in the legs (since I got a larger size, it wasn't tight for me) but I expected the length to be longer with the larger size, and these only go 2/3 the way down my leg (shorter than my other small sized ones)."

And nope, didn't get any promotion that day :( Note that the real fleece jacket from Columbia never shed even a single piece of ball of fuzz. All that is needed is a very light jacket to keep the chill out long enough for you to generate heat as you go hiking.
