I can't say enough good things about Balega socks. They have become my absolute go-to for all my long runs and races. I've completed multiple marathons and half marathons wearing these socks, and I can honestly say I have never experienced a blister or any hot spots.My feet consistently feel great throughout my runs, and the level of support these socks provide is amazing. On top of that, they are incredibly durable and last a long time, even with heavy use.While they might be a bit more expensive than some other socks on the market, they are absolutely worth every single penny. If you're a runner looking for reliable, comfortable, and blister-free performance, look no further than Balega socks. They are a game-changer!

Favorite socks ever! I love getting a fresh pair of Balega socks. They are so comfortable and provide a perfect fit to the foot. To me it’s like walking on a soft rug.

The fit is amazing they look Great the quality is so good and the colors are fun. They also last forever.

Very comfy and did not slip for an entire half marathon. Definitely recommend

I own about 12 pairs of Balegas accumulated over three years. After extensive use, a few consistent patterns emerge.Performance:- Fit and Compression: Tight, particularly around the toes—closer to a half-size small. I recommend sizing up. A medium was too tight and had to be donated.- Thickness and Protection: Thicker than comparable brands (Danish Endurance, Timberland), particularly at the heel and toe. Excellent for impact protection, which makes them suitable even for boots and heavier shoes.- Moisture Wicking: Strong but not dramatically superior to other high-performance options; notably better than standard polyester blends.Durability:- Real-world lifespan is 12–18 months. Thread splitting typically begins around the 10–12 month mark, with large holes appearing by month 14.- Even after major wear, ribbing and arch support areas often remain intact, keeping the socks usable for lighter use.- Shoe fit likely impacts wear rate—friction points accelerate breakdown more than general fabric fatigue.- No real apparent decline of quality with washing (always cold, medium or gentle cycles, and low-heat drying)Cost Considerations:- Balegas are expensive relative to competitors. Cost-per-wear is roughly double compared to brands like Danish Endurance or Timberland.- I ultimately supplemented my rotation with Danish Endurance ultra-thin running socks—less flashy, but at nearly half the cost.Verdict:Balegas deliver superior fit, comfort, and targeted protection, but at a premium. If maximum softness, cushioning, and a perfect running fit matter most, they’re worth it. If cost-per-use and longevity are your priorities, Perhaps look elsewhere.

Comfortable. Pretty color. Just the right thickness. Soft but sturdy texture. Love Balega socks for running and walking.

I have these in many different colors. I love how tight they fit around the foot, the compression aspect, while they are not too short when I purchase a medium. I keep them out of the dryer, so they last longer. I hope that these never get discontinued!!
