Here is what wearers are saying about Thorlos price-value relationship:

Thorlo's flamingo colored light hiking socks empower me, I love the color as it's the quintessential girl color and it's springy and cheerful. I'm so happy to have an alternative color besides Earth tones as I wear Thorlos daily. I live outdoors, always dog walking, biking, going sailing in Berkeley, learning to windsurf . . . these socks protect my feet perfectly and help me get my money's worth out of athletic shoes daily, making the shoes even more comfortable and better fitting. I am 52 and need more padding on my feet in general, but they have taken quite a pounding throughout my life as I ran long distance, 10Ks and a few marathons and on track teams when younger. The socks keep me warm and comfy now that I am a bicycle commuter and dog walker. Absolutely worth the money. How about a lavender color or pale yellow for spring?

Thorlo running socks with thick padding make my dog walking a joy. It's like wearing slippers, the socks pad and warm my feet on the coldest days and make my long dog walks on pavement a joy. Thorlos are so protective of my 52 year old feet the socks last forever, I have worn Thorlo running socks most of my adult life--through marathons, 10Ks, bike rides, hikes . . . if running is 99 percent mental, these socks contributed to my exhilaration and endurance and sheer joy of being outdoors. Worth every penny.

I have been wearing Throlo socks for years. I use them for walking and hiking of course, but I also wear them for every day, since my work involves stacking feed, caring for horses and delivering hay. They last several times longer than any other sock I have ever purchased and feel great, too!

I have won these socks for years and years and they are my go to choice. I work in retail, which is absolutely brutal on the feet and thus the rest of the body; unless you know to choose excellent socks and shoes.

I have recommended Thorlo socks to friends and family over the years, many of them have to have them as their faves now.

They are expensive, but last for years, I have some that are over a decade old, and still are worn for everyday socks.

I do need to replace my work socks every few years, just to be extra comfortable.

As a former letter carrier for the U.S.P.S. I enjoyed my Thorlo socks both on and off the job. A great walking sock with an extended lifetime. Great value, great product.

I have woren Thorlo socks since 1991 and had my first pair for over 10 years before they wore out. I order annually for myself at least 8 to 12 pairs. I give as a gift and long after the gift-giving I receive 'thank yous' for giving the best gift ever ~~ walking socks. Recently, I order these SKX-NEW Sk8i Socks and now wear them every day in the winter with my boots. My feet are never cold and the warmth is maintained for hours on end ~ all day long! I used to wear 2 to 3 pairs of knee hights in the winter just to keep my feet warm. The SKX socks not only keep my feet warm, my feet do not slide in the boot it is like walking on a cloud ~ even through the snow drifts and uneven side walks, and thru the cruncy snow. You have had a life-long cutomer since 1991. Well worth the money.
Respecfully,
