I've mentioned before that I've developed a slight obsession with running gear. I want to test out the latest and greatest. This desire led me to Thorlo's new Experia socks.
As you can see from the pictures, these socks have several great features. The ball and heel of the sock have extra cushion to protect those high impact area. One of the things I like best about them is the extra padding that protects against chaffing at the Achilles tendon.
With the exception of those areas, the rest of the sock is super light weight. All unnecessary bulk has been eliminated without compromising protection. I found the socks to be incredibly comfortable and well fitting. I was also impressed with their CoolMax moisture management technology. My feet stayed dry for the entire run.
