Thirty48 Running Socks for Men and Women Features Coolmax Fabric That Keeps Feet Cool & Dry – 1 Pair or 3 Pairs

First some context;I run about twenty miles a week and have owned these socks for two years.Let me say, I like these socks even though they are not without their small disappointments. For one thing, I run in very minimalist shoes and these socks are quite a bit thicker than I expected. It’s not a bad thing necessarily, just something to be mindful of. My other gripe (and I’m not alone judging by other reviews) is with the material composition. When something is described as having some sort of moisture-wicking feature the last thing I expect is for cotton to be anywhere in the mix. As mentioned elsewhere, these socks are 27% cotton and do not do a very good job of keeping your feet dry. It’s not a huge problem for me personally, but I can definitely see blisters becoming an issue if you’re putting more distance in during your runs.Unlike others I’ve seen though, I have had no problems with the construction of the sock. In fact, mine are over two years old and still in rotation. There are no holes or tears, the elastic is still viable, and the fabric still feels soft and springy. The sock contours nicely to your foot and I appreciate the tab in the back that offers a little extra protection for your Achilles from being rubbed by your shoe.All in all, I have been satisfied with these socks and would order them again. They work well for me, but every runner is different. If you’re typically not cresting the five mile mark on your outings I would say these will probably work for you, but if you’re doing longer distances or run in particularly wet conditions you should keep looking.

These Thirty 48’s are nicely colored ones. I love how they have a L and a R on them, so you know which is which, plus, that’s just too darn cute! They’re super comfy! The fit is nice and snug but not where it’s an uncomfortable snug…a “just right” snug where you actually forget you have socks on but you know they are on because your feet are warm. I originally bought 1 pair of the Thirty 48 just to try them out. I ended up coming back and buying 3 additional the very next day! They are a little thicker but not overly where it would make your shoes feel too tight or too small. Again, I would say more of a comfortable “just right” thickness. I highly recommend the Balega brand of socks. I have bought the Balega Hidden Comfort socks, as well. I have 6 pairs of those. Between those and these Thirty 48’s they truly are the best socks I’ve ever bought. You honestly don’t know you’re wearing socks! That’s how comfortable they really are!!The socks come prewashed for quality control. You even get a sticker that comes attached with the employee’s picture who inspected them!!Side note: I’ve had my Hidden Comforts for about 6 months and I use them for work which I’m required to walk the entire shift so I put a lot of miles on them. They also go through the wash quite a bit. I have had zero issues with any holes or fraying. They actually look as good as the day I got them. Built to last!!
