Previous Feedback
Comments: great socks that provide a second skin. Socks wick moisture away from
your feet.
From: Mo
Comments: A good sock if you're looking for a very thin, "second skin" as one reviewer stated. The socks don't provide any protection with respect to lace bite, etc. so if you're looking for that I would recommend a different sock or some additional products to address your individual issues. If you need a thin, no frills sock - this is a good buy.
From: Tim, IL
Comments: Light-weight comfortable socks. I used to wear thicker socks, but these are nice and fit well. I have size 9 shoe, and bought the large. They fit very well. There is almost no protection from these socks. It is clear when putting them on how they are supposed to be worn.
From: Adam, Columbia, MO
Comments: These are great skate socks. They are very thin and easily wick away your sweat. They don't bunch-up at all on my feet. They also clean and dry very well. I liked them so much, I threw out my assortment of old ragtag skate socks and stocked my bag with these. (As a side note, they work great as cycling socks too.)
From: Nathan
Comments: great low volume sock that's like a second skin. I was a lifetime barefoot skater and find these to be a great compromise.
