Socks weren't really something I ever thought of or cared for much, until I tried Nudesox. I actually experience a little bit of anxiety when they are all in the laundry (I clearly need to buy more) because I have shoes that I refuse to wear without these socks. This is because of the added comfort they provide - especially at the back of my ankle! These socks have a bit of padding on the back that make any sneaker or running shoe 10x more comfortable! Not the mention, the quality of these socks are the real deal. Like I said, I've had mine for a few years now but you can barely tell, they look and feel brand new. I never thought I'd be leaving a raving review for a pair of socks, but it's rare I come across any product that not only meets but surpasses my expectations the way Nudesox have. Truly one of the best investments I've ever made - adding more to cart as we speak!
