Thirty48Ultralight Athletic Running Socks for Men and Women with Seamless Toe, Moisture Wicking, Cushion Padding

UPDATE 11/14/19Wore these during a half marathon, they felt lightweight and provided a perfect fitted cushion for each foot, with this being the first half marathon I have done at race pace where I didn't have any rubbing issues (toes, ankle, anywhere). These will absolutely be the tool of choice when running half and full marathons in the future. Still leaving at 4 out of 5 since they technically are a little "heavy" for "ultralight" socks, but they are as comfortable and supportive as any socks I have worn regardless of weight. Recommended, especially for anyone looking to "treat" their feet to a special pair of socks for intense events!..............I wear an 11.5 shoe, and have been looking to treat myself to a new lightweight pair of socks for some upcoming races of half and full marathon distances. I have new shoes (Nike Vaporfly NEXT%, super lightweight and springy), and those rise up a bit more than I would like on the back of the ankle, so I needed to find a replacement for my current socks which were super low-rise.So based on reviews and the sizing chart, I decided to get the XL size. To be fair, the chart says Large is for up to size 11, and XL is for 12 and over; however, I read other reviews and other information that said to go with the larger size on these. They are wrong. The socks that arrived were waaaaay to big and the heel was riding up a solid inch above where it should. So I sent them back, and sure enough the Large size fits perfectly (and snug enough, although I honestly wish they were a little bit tighter).The comfort and feel is top notch. So far they seem to work well with my toes and pressure points, and probably will be a great decision for very long runs such as a marathon.But the reason I can't give them 5 stars is that they are supposedly ultralight, and even tenths of an ounce in the shoe area add up to lots of seconds or even a minute for a marathon type of distance. Well, I weighed them with a very accurate digital scale, and they come in at 1.5 ounces. That is light, sure. But sadly they are the heaviest running socks that I have, including my standard daily wear socks, which come in at 1.0 ounces. Even my thickest running socks from another brand are 1.3 ounces, so these are just slightly heavier. Part of that is due to the mid-rise design, which takes more material, and therefore will weigh more. I think the benefits of the design and support of this sock are worth it for very long distance races, so I am happy. But for a 10K or anything less where I want just pure speed, I will be looking for something lighter.Overall, recommended for endurance athletes that want a great sock and are not as weight obsessed as I am!

I’m a tough critic and go through socks like crazy with the amount of training I do. I’ve paid $40 for a single pair and shopped bargain deals and had all kinds of results. I rotate brands constantly looking for the next best sock but I’ve bought these 3 times now. They fit great, are comfortable and wick nicely. I wore these during an Ironman and had no issues at all. I did swap for a dry pair after the bike and before the run section but they did great considering I went over 130 miles in just 2 pairs that day. I’m not sure you can really be any more tough on a pair of socks than that. I’ll continue to order these while they’re available.

These socks fit great and perform well. My main dislike is that they are not suitable for tumble dry. They need to be air dryed. Seems okay after the first wash but my concern is that they will be stiffer than if they were tumbled dry. Time will tell.

comfortable to wear and light weight, I don't even know I have them on!

I used one pair for my walking with no issues. At end of day I had to remove because the compression made my feet ache. Understandably. Recommend removing after ending exercise regimen. I would buy again.

Love the comfort and the colors of these socks! They are stretchy and soft. I will be buying more.

They fit really tight. I wear a size 10 shoe. I ordered the large socks. I could have wore an extra large.

These socks are super comfortable and very nice. However, if they are selling them as no-show, that is not correct, they come up high on your ankle. But if that is not important to you and you want a great pair socks, then yes.

These socks are garbage. After wearing them once, they began to fall apart, shredding from the inside, with fluff falling all over my house, cloging my washing machine. These are the worst quality socks I have ever bought in my life. Thirty 48 used to make really good socks, but not anymore. The worst thing is - the seller will not respond to my complaint. I think I should get a refund because the socks are garbage and I cannot wear them.

I have used this product for running and biking, even though it is a good product, I find it highly overpriced.
