Best running socks
I have been wearing these socks for a lot of years, buying them at a regional store that went under during the Rona. Couldn’t find an equal in any of the brands I tried and here they are on Amazon! Interesting that if you buy the size 9-12 option, they’re like $25. You choose 10-13 and the price is $11? Same socks?Any way the fit is terrific. The three fabric blend and mesh top side with extra material built into the underside foot pad are perfect for me. These are very durable and really don’t pick up oder like a cotton blend. Sit just above a running shoe on your foot so complete coverage of contact area and no chaffing. Perfect!

Most durable socks I've ever owned!
I first discovered these socks in high school when I was running cross country. I was going through socks at an alarming rate. Either the elastic would wear out or holes would develop in the heels. My friend told me to try out the PowerSox, and it changed my life!PowerSox last about 3 times as long as other socks, and they don't fall down to the center of your feet when you run. I'm not lying when I say that I'll never buy another low-cut sock as long as I live - unless these are discontinued. At that point I'll probably just give up on socks and shoes altogether and buy a jazzy scooter to get around.

Durability & Comfort
I have been wearing Power Sox for over 20 years. They are the only socks I buy and wear for trail running outside if the coldest winter days when i wear wool socks. They are extremely durable, and although they are well padded where they need to be, they are not so thick that they feel bulky. I cannot state enough how much I value this product. I will buy another half dozen or so in a few years, and I run hard in them and put them through Hell.

Best socks I've ever had
I've had a couple pairs of PowerSox that I got for Christmas years ago (still in great shape), but never just pulled the trigger and replaced all my day-to-day socks with them because of the price. After finally getting tired of blowing through Hanes/FOTL/Under Armour/And1/etc after sometimes only 2-3 wears, I bit the bullet and got enough of these to last me a couple weeks between loads of laundry.The socks have a very thick weave on the bottom that holds up well to constant use while the tops have a thinner weave that allows your foot to breathe. The socks come up to just above the bones on the sides of your ankle, giving you just enough sock to prevent your shoe from rubbing your Achilles raw. They're not no-show, but they're not ankle socks either. They're the perfect in-between size so as long as you don't mind a little white poking out the top of your shoe, you'll be fine with these.

Very comforable running socks
I run around 35-40 miles a week pretty consistently, so I need a running sock that is both durable and comfortable. I've tried several kinds of socks over the years but I think I've found a winner in the PowerSox brand.The first thing I noticed when putting these socks on is that they are not labeled "left" and "right" like most running socks. This worried me at first because most running socks are designed specifically for each foot to fit snug in critical spots. However, PowerSox have ample "tightness" in the right spots to prevent chaffing. So that was a good thing.Some reviews have mentioned these socks are too small. I have a size 13 foot (which is technically outside the range of the 9-12.5 that I bought) but they fit me just fine. As a technical/running sock they are designed to fit a little tight around the top of the foot and ankle to prevent chaffing as mentioned above. So I'm not sure why some are having issues.To me, these socks feel a little bit thicker than some running socks, so if you prefer a very thin sock these are probably not for you. I felt they were a little bit hot on my foot in the dead of summer, but are great for spring/fall/winter running especially if you wear a lightweight, breathable shoe. Don't get me wrong...they breathe pretty well but the extra material just get's a little bit warm when you're running on blacktop. But then again, most socks are going to have this problem anyway.Overall, I'm very happy with these socks. Plan on purchasing a few more pairs here shortly.

Great Price, great socks
I run about 25-30 miles/week. These are my favorite not only for running but just everyday use too. I used to buy these socks at a retailer who quit carrying them. I shopped around and tried others but was never as satisfied. Glad to find them on Amazon and at such a great price ($7.19/3 pack on the day I am writing this). You can easily find running socks for $10 and up a pair and maybe for the runners that are really doing heavy miles you need this but for most of us I have no hesitation to recommend these. Long lasting, maintain fit, wicking, arch support that you can actually feel and comfort.

Great running socks for a good price
This was my first pair of running socks. I wanted something to keep my feet dry during runs without spending a ridiculous amount. They fit true to size (I'm a size 12 and ordered the 10-13) and they fit well. The bottom provides some extra cushion without adding too much bulk. The top is thin with an area that is very breathable (almost mesh like) on the top behind the toe box. They do a great job of keeping the sweat away from my feet to keep blisters at bay. I average about 4 miles/run, so I can't give input on distances farther that that, but for me, they are exactly what I was looking for. I've been using these three pair about 4 times/week for the last month and they are holding up so far. I'll update later if the longevity seems abnormal for socks.

You get what you pay for...
Purchased these for my wife because she wanted som ankle socks. A friend turned me on to this brand a couple years ago. I was wearing the name brand socks from Walmart and getting frustrated because they would get loose and slide down my leg. I purchased some of the higher fitting socks to try them out. They are great, still tight on my leg and no holes in the socks
