This is now my third purchase from the Wrightsock brand, and I'm very happy with all of them. I own a 3-pack of the lo-cut style, which I like- but I wanted quarter socks for a change. I own the black quarter socks, too- all but two pairs out of six have lasted me over two years.

I despise thick and/or loose socks. These keep my feet warm in all but the coldest environment (anything below 50 degrees or below with no shoes on) without the bulk. There is no uncomfortable seam. As long as the elastic is good, there's no sliding down my foot. The size Large fits my 11W feet perfectly. These provide plenty of protection against blisters, for both working out (I walk, do aerobics & lift weights, I'm not a runner) & daily use. I've never had a blister when wearing these, even when walking for long distances or doing close to an hour of cardio. I can imagine it would be the same for running.

They are expensive, but I'm willing to pay more for the silky feel, lightweight coverage, long-lasting performance & sporty look of these socks.
