XJ Max Cushion Running Crew Socks

Walk a lot. Run a bit. Needed something that works with Nike shoes for athletics and leather Oxford shoes at the office. I tried a lot of different socks. These Thorlo XJ maximum cushion black socks work great. Good as everyday socks. Black fits with leather shoes at the office and with black sneakers for athletics. P.S. The Thorlo website recommends using fabric softener to keep the springiness in the thick cushioning. UPDATE September 2022 - still excellent cushion and comfort! I replaced all my socks with Thorlo XJs at Thorlo's December sale and wear them every day, wash mostly with fabric softener and after almost a year they're as comfortable as the first time. Far better than cotton even on a hot day! For exercise on the hottest summer days, I use a made-in-China sock that's very short, thin, has arch support elastic and some cushion. I wish there were a made-in-USA mini-sock that was as good - and I've tried a few. For hiking boots, I wear Thorlo XJ or Thorlo Wcxu Max Cushion 12 Hour Shift Crew Socks, which go higher up the ankle than the XJ's and support the arch nicely with a stronger squeeze although they're a bit too tight at the top.

The Thorlo XJ Max running crew is a great sock in my opinion. The are not too tight, I have wide feet and wide ankles so most socks tend to be too tight and small for me. These seem to have just the right amount of stretch and softness. The cushion is very useful too, if you're a runner you'll appreciate the extra cushion inside your running shoe. You may also like wearing them around the house to keep your feet warm. I'm in cold and damp Connecticut and house floors are quite cold but these Thorlo XY Max Running Crews are like wearing slipper socks. They're comfortable, cushiony and durable. Yes durable, they seem to last me years of use before they lose their cushion and get holes. Good Stuff!

I am a truck driver who spends six to ten hours a night behind the wheel. My heels would get sore every night by the end of my run. I've tried many different things to remedy this problem and these socks are the only thing that work. I've worn them every day for the last two weeks and my heels haven't hurt at all! Highly recommend. Best socks I've ever owned!

I bought 3-pair of these same socks for $18.99 back in June 2021. Great product! Holds up the best in terms of wear & tear. Have bought this brand for years, in fact. Not sure how they can justify the price increase. But a 3X jump seems a bit excessive. Gonna pass on the rebuy and looking for a lower cost replacement!

These socks are really comfortable, really like them !!!

I absolutely love these. So soft and great cushioning.

I am a big guy - 275 pounds. I started exercising and after, my feet would ache. After a long search, I finally found some shoes that helped (Merrells), but I also wanted to find some socks that provided some padding. I searched and wasn't really happy until I found these Thorlos. These are the only socks I ever where now that I'm working out. I love them. They provide comfort and feet protection. I imagine they are great for running and hiking. I wear them jogging, tennis, racquetball and any other activity where I have to move around a lot. I even wear them to work when I know I'll be on my feet all day. I don't really think it's a downside, because I think you're feet get hot whenever you are working out, but they do get a little hot. But they provide protection from sweaty feet and I've never gotten a blister. They last a long time too. I have about five pairs that I rotate so they wear evenly. The first pair I bought that I wore exclusively I can still wear, but after about four months, I noticed it's wearing thin in the heel and the ball of the foot. No holes though. It seems pricey, but this is a replacement for standard socks that wear out much quicker and have to be replaced. I hated paying so much for one pair of socks, but now I think it's a good value.

I don’t know what has changed. I’ve been wearing this brand of socks for years. In fact I wear nothing but thorlo BUT this order was awful. Truly! From the second I opened them they felt inferior. They always felt very plush yet this pack didn’t. When I put the first pair on they didn’t stay up around my calves. They’re horrible. Not sure what happened. I am so disappointed!!

Lovely socks , to expensive rhough

Comfortable and smooth fitting socks.

I ordered 2 x six pack of my favourite socks (12 pairs). Initially only 6 pair arrived so customer services arranged an additional shipment. This time 3 pair arrived. So in the end I am out of pocket for 3 pair that I did not receive. Very disappointing.

Utilisation quotidienne, pas d’allergie agreables et moelleuses

Product was a child size, I ordered adult large. Was useable because gave to grandchildren. Don’t want to reorder unless proper size confirmed
