Our take

Thick padding runs the whole length of the foot, and a deep heel pocket keeps it from sliding off. The tab at the back stops your shoe rubbing. It's soft enough for long days and forgiving on wide feet.

  • The catchThe padding makes it warmer than thin socks, and it needs room in the shoe.
  • Best forSore feet, if you like a low sock.
