to be honest, i read so many customer reviews when buying this and many of them were about how its not the same as it used to be anymore. i do wish i knew how it used to feel because it sounds very comfortable and better than the one i purchased based on the customers. but judging by the sock that i bought, it was very comfortable, cushion felt great and like one of the customers mentioned, i wish they had XS, i purchased the S and it does feel a bit loose but not overly loose. even that i feel secure it won't fall off. i have only used it once but it seems like itd hold up over 10 uses and i really wish i could purchase more because of its' comfort but paying over $10 for a sock is a bit splurgy to me. however, i like buying sport socks mainly because i wear boots with heels and trust me, certain sport socks are like shock proof, cushioned well or like moisture wick, its a great way to reduce pain in your elevated shoes.
