BalegaAthletic Running Support Quarter Socks for Men and Women (1 Pair)

Love these comfortable socks. Great arch support and not too thick.

I’ve bought Balega before and these are my favorites so far. Yes they are very pricey, but seems like almost everything is so I’m getting conditioned to it🙄. I’m on my feet at work all day so I appreciate the the thickness. They don’t make my shoes too tight and feet don’t sweat. I have just a few pairs of socks I like so they get worn and washed a lot but all my Balegas are holding up well. Worth the high price to me.

I ended up returning them because I didn’t expect them to feel any different than normal running socks. The “support” aspect of them means they’re a little bit thicker than usual. They’re comfortable, and might be exactly what you’re looking for, but they didn’t suit my purposes.

I never thought I’d write a review on socks, but these socks are it! The compression hits in all the right places, they’re super soft and nice quality. I weight train and they’re my favorite socks to wear during a lift. I have the blue and white and love them, hopefully they come out with more colors!

Believe the hype! These are the best running socks I have ever tried, hands down. I have Donald Duck feet: wide forefoot with bunions, low volume, extra-narrow heel and therefore often experience heel slip problems. I used to run in Feetures socks but my toes would feel constricted during longer runs and my bunions would become sore. Well, these Balega socks probably solved this problem! They are oh-so-soft, but no too thick. I was expecting a stronger compression, it is quite moderate in my opinion. The stretch is however phenomenal: my toes can spread freely, and I do not feel pain after a few kilometers as I used too. No hot spots. And best of all: the heel slip problem has been reduced, probably because of the socks texture. Many people have been mentioning the « fraying » problem with Balega socks: yes, if you turn them inside out, you will see some fraying after washing. But it is simply how they are made. You do not feel it whatsoever and it is definitely not a durability concern. I was between size Sm and Med and chose medium. They are perfect and I plan on getting more.
