How customer reviews and ratings work

Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.

5.0 out of 5 starsThis is the only brand of sock for running I think I want to ever buy
Reviewed in the United States on August 18, 2020
First I have to disclose that this is a really uneducated review. I run in sweat pants and order shoes online and when I say run it's more of a muppet jog so I don't really know what my sporting clothes options look like. I didn't even know running socks were thing till I started to get blisters and the internet told me to try running socks. But I don't get blisters now, they don't bunch up, they cover my heel where it's prone to blisters, and my feet somehow feel drier after I run. So these seem GREAT to me! But I don't know, maybe smarter runners would just think staying in place and not giving blisters in the least a sock can do. I might be overly excited based on my inexperience with proper running socks.

Also, when I was trying to find socks to buy I was reading reviews and saw that people also reviewed them for how long they can go without being washed and still not stinking. That sounds really weird cause if you run in socks you should just right away wash them, ammiright? That's always been my philosophy but, you know, I read those reviews so I had to try and it turns out, up to 4 runs before they get stinky. Maybe more but 4 is my psychological limit, I can't go longer than that. I just can't. But it really is an amazing trick in a sock, so if that matter to you, know that they really stay fresh in your show and then your closet and then your shoe again for a really long time. I tried some other brands too, that are also ok, but I find that socks in this brand just feel to me like they are less hot, and hold their shape better, than the others.

1.0 out of 5 starsThreads, Threads Everywhere...
Reviewed in the United States on September 18, 2019
I'm so disappointed in these socks. I can't believe how the insides look, there are long, loose threads everywhere and a ton came out in the wash. I hate, hate, hate having loose threads inside socks which these have in abundance. There are much, much, much better socks for the price if you're looking for running/exercise specific socks. There are actually much better socks that are significantly cheaper than these. I can't speak to the odor control, as I couldn't stand to wear them for any length of time. Also, they immediately fall down inside of your shoes and you have to pull the tab up constantly. Into the trash they go, a total waste of money. Will stick with my normal Feetures and Smartwool socks from now on.

5.0 out of 5 stars All I hoped for and more.
Reviewed in the United States on May 10, 2018
Color: Black/CarbonSize: LargeVerified Purchase
I typically wear a few of the other brands of running socks, but decided to try these. I bought two pair and I have to say that they are outstanding. I've had them for about a month now and run, walk or bike most everyday. I haven't seen any issues, threading coming loose, or shrinking with wash. When walking or running in them, they help provide a little extra padded bounce in my step, and I'm going to order a few more pair. I've even caught my wife wearing them around the house.

5.0 out of 5 stars They are worth it!!!
Reviewed in the United States on July 3, 2020
Verified Purchase
I am new runner and took getting the right items for my feet seriously. So I went to aa local Dallas running store (Run Fit) to get properly sized for running shoes (I measure a 8.5B but got a 9.5D in Brooks Adrenaline 20, and, NB 860v10 so my feet can have room to splay as I run and they both work great!). I followed the sizing chart for my foot size and purchased a medium, which feels/fit as expected.

I went with Balega socks because of their reviews and recommendations from other runners. I love these Balega Silver socks! I bought a set of 2 pairs in many colors (see the pics), and I own about 12 pairs now so I can have ore than enough to change out as I run 4-5 times/week.

When comparing to other socks, the price of these are manageable (I saw some $25 wool socks and decided to pass for now). Ultimately, these socks proved their weight in gold when running in humid , June/July, 95+ degree Texas temperatures, and I will gladly purchase again!

---------------- UPDATE --------------

After wearing these socks for 2-3 months, most colors are holding up well -except- the orange ones. The orange threads are tearing at the below the inside ankle for some reason. I am not experiencing this with the other colors. I hope this helps.

5.0 out of 5 stars I am not a runner. I still love these socks.
Reviewed in the United States on October 14, 2021
Color: Lake Blue/YellowSize: MediumVerified Purchase
I've had neuropathy in one leg for 20+ years. I can't wear wool socks (allergies and hives) and wanted something comfortable with good cushioning to protect my foot, keep my toes warmer and something that looked/felt better on than the standard white running socks that you can pick up at any of the marts. I bought a pair of these socks (I gulped at the price) but the first pair was so comfortable/cushioned that I bought another pair, and then two more. These socks have held up great, the colors are vibrant and the cushioning has made such a difference.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of my favorite running/hiking socks
Reviewed in the United States on August 16, 2021
Color: Black/CarbonSize: LargeVerified Purchase
I absolutely love these socks. From the fit to the comfort to the overall quality of the sock materials. They're my go-to sock for running and hiking (hiking shoes, not boots). On a chance I tried out these socks at a local retailer and fell in love with them. For once, Amazon had a better price and better availability of colors.

Out of Nike, Adidas, and Under Armor, these socks beat all of those brands without breaking a sweat. I run 4-5 miles a day and bike/hike 18-20 miles, 2-3 times a month. I've never had a issue with the socks falling apart or causing discomfort. The only con, and I say this with kid gloves, they are a bit thick compared to other "running" socks, so keep that in mind.

5.0 out of 5 stars High quality workout socks
Reviewed in the United States on July 14, 2020
Color: Black/CarbonSize: MediumVerified Purchase
I must admit that as a late 40ish woman, I go for comfort a lot more than style. However, these socks are not only comfortable but BUH-BANG stylish.

I started seriously working out last year and found that socks and supportive shoes were the most important workout accessories.. I’ve searched high and low for the right combinations and these socks are easily in the top 5 I’ve tried for walking and running.

Cushioned soles but close fitted arches provide unbelievable lift and support power when walking or running. Additionally, I found that these socks were breathable and reduced sweating for long workouts.

Highly recommend trying at least one pair.

5.0 out of 5 stars BEST SOCKS EVER!
Reviewed in the United States on March 22, 2020
Color: Legion Blue/GreySize: SmallVerified Purchase
I LOVE LOVE LOVE these socks. They are much thicker than your usual performance socks, but that's kind of why I love them. They are so plushy, soft, and comfortable! You can immediately feel a difference the moment you slide them on your feet. I've tried several other brands and even different styles of this brand, but enjoy these the most! They don't have as much compression compared to other performance brand socks, but I don't mind that (too much compression tends to hurt my feet after having them on too long). I have used them for trail runs, runs on the treadmill, weight training, and regular walks. Even though they're thicker, they don't feel too hot and don't retain a ton of moisture from sweat. Love the color I chose (legion blue/grey), always appreciate a high tab and that they never fall down. Lastly, no blisters! Not even after a 10+ mile trail run/hike. Definitely recommend!

5.0 out of 5 stars Game changer
Reviewed in the United States on August 19, 2021
Color: Black/CarbonSize: LargeVerified Purchase
I wear ankle/no show socks half the time, and got used to the fact that they’re all pretty thin and not suitable for endurance/cardio workouts. And training for a triathlon is definitely going to fly in those socks. I found these socks, paired with a pretty good pair of running shoes, and the results are amazing. Especially on the bike, I didn’t realize my feet could be so comfortable. I’m sure they’ll wear out eventually, because they’re socks. But I’ll put em to good use in the meantime!

Reviewed in the United States on December 13, 2019
Color: Midgrey/AquaSize: MediumVerified Purchase
I purchased these socks for my boyfriend for a birthday gift as he is a big runner. One evening I was over his house and I needed a pair of socks so I went into his sock drawer, pulled them out, and slipped them on my feet. I thought I had died and gone to heaven. I would never have spent this kind of money for socks (for me) but because I loved them so much, went on line and bought 2 pairs for myself. They are amazing. I wear them to the gym to workout, and when I'm wearing running shoes to run errands. These are a game changer!!!!

What a terrific product. These are so supportive that even with my planar fasciitis I can wear sandals. They are really comfortable. I also use other Balega socks, which are great too. Bravo to this company. Readers: buy lots of these socks.
