Pros & Cons
Pros
In the realm of socks, it's the closest thing. I need a lot of arch and metatarsal support, and these socks offer both. These are the only brand and type of sock that i wear, now.
Cons
They are not. The heel slips down under into the shoe. The balega sox sag and slip off while wearing tennis shoes and also without shoes. For the price, it should be a premium sock.
Absolutely horrendous. Total disappointment. Return window is far too short to accommodate. Just not worth the money.

Sturdy, comfy, and keep the blisters away

I was able to hit 50 miles a week and run a full marathon and these socks are still in-tact and show very little wear.
These socks prevent blisters and never chafe.
Price
But for the comfort alone, these are worth every penny.
The socks are worth the high price tag!
They are expensive, but it's not worth the money only if you lose one!
My only complaint is that the price is high
Competitiveness
The difference in comfort and durability is immediately noticeable, setting them apart from less expensive alternatives.
Overall, i highly recommend the balega running socks for anyone looking for a comfortable and durable option for their running needs.
If you sweat a bit, i wouldn't call them moisture-wicking, but balega has other designs that are better for that.
Other brand, $15 and highly rated, are very tight around ankles.

Price was offputting to me at first much more expensive than most socks but i walk 12 to 20 miles a week and i was tired of athletic socks that couldn’t handle that so i took a chance and bought 2 pairs of these about 45 years ago

So if you’ll use these for frequent running they may not last you as long
