“I love my Pursuit merino wool blend socks and hoped I'd like these, too, but they don't work for me.
I like the compression in the mid foot/arch area. I wanted to love these socks.
First, blisters. These socks give me blisters in the ball of the foot at the big toe. I suspect it's the ribbed structure, but I can't be sure.
Second, there's a narrow elastic band or similar stitched into the sock near the ankle that seems to wrap toward the heel. It puts narrow pressure on the top of my foot, the arch, at/near the ankle joint, and is very uncomfortable. I've tried stretching this part of the sock. Sometimes I get the pressure to disipate, sometimes I can't.
I've worn them a few times to see if they'll break in (a sock that needs to be broken in?), but I remain unhappy with them.”
Hey Will! Thanks so much for reaching out about this! I am so sorry that the Flite XT Trail Quarter Crew socks were not winners for you. Of course, we would love to make this right, so please be on the lookout for some email communication from us (:
Have an amazing day!
