NIcool Running & Cycling Socks for Men & Women - Breathable Cushioned Athletic Ankle Socks - Low Cut Sports Socks for Jogging, Gym Workouts & Outdoor Activities

These socks are excellent. They hold up to repeated washings without losing their bright color. They really "grip" your feet giving them great 'support'. I wear mine mostly for cycling and walking but I believe they would be great for almost any sport activity from wrestling, volleyball, golf, tennis, jogging, etc.Love, love, love these socks. I had surgery years ago on my right foot, and the light additional support on my arch is perfect. I am on my feet most of the day for my job, and my feet are in much better condition after 10 hours than with regular socks. I bought one set, then another. I will be buying more.Ride down your heel when walkingLoved them! So comfortable. I reordered more for me and a pack of 3 to have 3 “happies” to give to 3 friends that exercise. I like that the pair of socks lets you know which foot to put it on. R and L.I really like these socks. I was having pain in my feet, and my husband found these and thought I might like them and got them for me. Their fit and support are great and they are very comfortable. When I wear these socks, I no longer get the pain or swelling in my feet like I did before. So, I ordered another set!!The one concern I have it that they show "5 colors", but the set is ONLY 4 pairs. This is very mis-leading and seemingly a marketing ploy. Plus you can't guarantee what colors you will receive (I love that fact they are colorful!!).These are ankle compression socks. They have worked well with my plantar fasciitisThese were too small for my feet so passed them to my grandson who is doing a 50-mile hike this Summer!Up to now, everything is good, but I’ll have to wait at least a year to test durability. I am deducting a star because there is a left sock and a right sock, due to the pattern. For me, it is a major issue. After I do the laundry, I have to match them in pairs instead of just throwing them in the drawerThese are great socks! They feel like the Nike elite running socks, but slightly thinner. Which is good or bad depending on your preference. There's enough cushion and definitely no sliding or anything.Who knows how long these will last, but only time will tell.
