Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

The l on the sock is for large and not left lol. I know my balega socks will last me years, which is how i justify their price point.



Cons

Socks are thick, super soft and smelly. One heel is missing from the rounded and woven chafe guard. Overpriced and overrated as an athletic sock.

From above the ankle the material is thinner now so if you wear high ankle cut hikers it won’t feel as padded. The arch area is very noticeably thinner now. There is so much elastic that they don't stay up.

This particular pair was supposedly inspected. However, the pair i bought to replace it in june now has a hole in the same toe section, not even two months into owning it. Are these a knock off?

Quality


These are very cushiony & much improved since the first pair i got a couple years ago - the middle is very comfortable now too ...  Read More


I swear by these, they’re really comfortable and are very durablei ran a half marathon in them, no chafing, no blisters


I’ve been getting awful blisters and the back of my heel has been getting torn up while running.


Very heavy on the cushion for the first wear, i’ll update after a few months to see how well they hold up under real use.

Price


Would higjhly recommend these even given the high price they are worth every penny.


They’re so nice, my fiancé stole them - just a bit pricey to buy again


I am more than willing to pay 20 bucks a pair to get my feet back.


It is well worth the extra cost of these.

Competitiveness


I've been running competitively for years and balega makes the best running socks in my opinion.


They provide more support and compression than bombas.


Other brands have caused blisters or bunched/moved around.
