While I will admit the socks seem pricy you all need to consider a few things: 1) it's a new company/product. As the volume goes up in terms of his sales, the price will come down as he can produce them in larger quantities. 2) Most of you crazy tri folks spend money on your sport like it's nothing- I can't count the number of conversations I've had with Jeff re: spending thousnads on a bike, hundreds on a wetsuit, shoes, etc. Really- $24 isn't that much- especially as there is nothing else like these out there. 3) If you play any sort of sports that require lateral movement (tennis, racketball, soccer, flag football, basketball, ulimate frizbee) these socks will aboslutely increase your performance. I've been using them during soccer for the last few months and the difference is amazing. Your shoe feels like it is glued onto your foot.Even in the pouring rain, I wasn't sliding around in my shoes and was able to cut and change directions much faster. <br /><br />Seriously- I'm not paid by the company either- I'm just a huge fan. Even Jeff told me if these socks existed when he played football, he thinks it would have made a big impact on his game. These socks are worth the money.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02382182974287399501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4117508586192062017.post-70976079133518079832011-10-11T19:17:38.025-05:002011-10-11T19:17:38.025-05:00$24 a pair?!?!?

I don't wear socks to run or ride, but come IMTX I will take the extra minute to put them on for the ride and then an extra minute to put a fresh pair on for the run since at that point I will be covered in sweat and liquid = friction = blisters.Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08914217156791555569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4117508586192062017.post-48313807673302342072011-10-11T15:32:04.200-05:002011-10-11T15:32:04.200-05:00Great review!

For trail runs I had been putting body glide all over my feet and that eliminated blistering.
