Customer Reviews Thorlos Walking Crew Socks

These socks are very comfortable. I have only worn them when I was at work. I brought them for when I do my walking. Even so, the socks are very breathable. My feet feel very cool no matter what kind of shoe I'm wearing. I have washed the socks several times and the comfort of the sock is still there. I brought both the black and white socks.

The service from Zappos keeps me coming back for more! I placed an order for these socks at 7:30PM on Thursday...they arrived at my front door by 3:30PM the NEXT DAY on Friday! The shipping estimator states that orders processed after 1:30pm will leave the following day for overnight shipping...so I wasn't expecting to receive this until Monday. What great service! Now, about the socks. They are very comfortable and soft. The knit is a little looser than I was expecting, and I was also expecting more support in the arch. Overall, I'm happy though. Good quality sock.

Only Thorlos for me - I’ve been wearing Thorlos since graduating college in 1989. Thorlo is the only brand of sox I’ll wear now - golfing or walking crew-styles as dress casual in black or dark-blue for the office; white mini-crews with short pants on weekends; roll-tops for running the hike and bike trail; the basketball style for weight lifting; tan-colored crew sox that match my uniform; and Thorlo Hikers for hunting, fishing, and other outdoor fun. Why only Thorlos? They’re the most comfortable sox I’ve found for all-day wearing and they last for years! These are really thick sox. So you may consider getting new shoes a half a size larger for wearing original Thorlos. Their “light” line of sox are not as thick. However, I prefer the original thick ones. Also, wash these in warm water, inside-out with a liquid fabric softener. Your feet are gonna be happy-happy.

Cushy soxs - These are supper soft and comfy. They don't breathe well; however, and make for sweaty feet. They might be improved by a thin cotton sock underneath. They look kind of dorky but make up for it in comfort. You should note the special washing instructions.

Expensive but good - These are expensive so I will need to see how they wear. A size 10 is tight but works.

In comparison to Thorlos hiking socks, these are quite lighter and the padding seems less. On the plus perspective, they are cooler than the equivalent hiker. They would make extraordinary diabetic socks; if I were Thorlos that is how I would market them.

I purchased these socks and few other colors a few months ago. After about a dozen washings (inside out of course) I noticed the pilling is terrible. Years ago my Mother would say you can tell the material is cheap when the item gets those fuzz bubbles. It is ashame because the socks are comfortable and there is a nice color variety. But for the price there are other options in today's market.

Comfort socks - The padding on the bottom is great - I have several pair already of the Thorlo socks. Seems only the black ones have the less-effective thin string of elastic at the top. The others have ribbed elastic all down to the ankle which makes for longer lifetime of sock and more comfortable feel.

Too loose for my narrow heels - I have been hooked on the Eurosocks brand of socks, but when they were out of stock recently I decided to try the Thorlos. They were soft, thick and cushy, but I found that they did not stay up. They would creep down my shoe and I would be constantly adjusting them. It could just be my feet, but if you have narrow feet, or don't like the feeling of a non-snug sock, I would not recommend this sock.

In 2 months I had holes in my socks. I contacted the company, and they want me to spend postage to get them "evaluated." I'm going back to Fox River.

Socks are very cheaply made. The socks kept bunching up under my toes. I thought that after a couple of washes that the problem would subside. I was wrong. Also, when pulling up the socks you can see through them. What I mean is that the thread count or weave is lacking in quality. Very thin and I was afraid I was going to tear/rip them.
