Pros & Cons

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

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

    While on the one hand im mildly embarrassed to admit how much ive paid for these socks on the other hand they are truly the best socks ive ever worn


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Initially purchased because i was training for a marathon and getting blisters on the tops of my toes these socks 100 stopped the formation of the blisters

    I was able to hit 50 miles a week and run a full marathon and these socks are still intact and show very little wear


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I’ve had a couple pairs of balega hidden comfort socks for five years and counting


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I don’t run much anymore but still use them for a couple of hiit workouts each week


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

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