These socks are very thin, which theoretically is a positive because it would prevent feet from sweating so much; however, I do not recommend them for wear during high impact workouts. I wore my first pair for the first time to go for a brisk walk/ jog. By the time I finished, came indoors, and removed my shoes, there was a hole beginning where my big toes are. If you are going to wear them for casual use then they will probably be fine.
