Socks are among those items we need but don’t want to buy. There are so many different types for so many different uses – in slippers around the house, for walking the dog, and even for sleeping (they can help you sleep better!) – so getting a good pair of versatile socks that can withstand years of wear and tear is priceless. Amazon shoppers found a pair that’s a step above the rest: Saucony Performance Heel Tab Athletic Socks and they cost less than $4 a pair.
These socks can help increase your comfort with a reinforced arch that hugs your feet.
Saucony is known for its serious running shoes, but you don’t have to be a runner or athlete to appreciate just how comfortable are these socks. They’re made with a moisture-wicking blend of cotton and fibers and are extra padded—especially around the arches. There’s a slight compression that makes them feel like they’re hugging your feet like they’re teddy bears. This makes them comfortable if you stand a lot or like to go on long walks. They’re also slightly thick and durable, so you can wear them indoors without flip-flops and without turning them into threads.
An impressive 92,000 shoppers have given these socks a five-star rating.
“I needed a quality black sock to wear as a waitress,” a experienced buyer shared. “My other socks rubbed my feet and moved around my toes throughout my entire work shift and drove me crazy. These socks are amazing. Comfortable. Supportive. These socks don’t get soaked in sweat or make my feet feel gross during my waitress job shift. It also provides extra ankle/heel support so my work shoes don’t rub on my skinny feet and cause blisters there.
“Amazing fit and quality!!” exclaimed one lively educator. “I will never buy any other brand of socks again. I’ve always had issues with my socks slipping around the arch of my foot until now!! They don’t slip, lightly hug your arch and are the perfect weight! I’m a teacher on my feet all day and these These are the best socks ever!!!”
“I was really skeptical that this would make a difference as they don’t feel tight like most compression socks which are just uncomfortable,” raved one five star fan. “I have high arches, plantar fasciitis and heel spurs. I bought them on vacation where I knew I would be walking a lot. We walked 7 to 10 miles every day and it helped a lot. I can feel the difference now when I wear regular socks.”
“Like Goldilocks and the Three Bears, these socks are perfect!” gushed one happy buyer. “I’ve been looking for the perfect sock for a while now. These fit my criteria for someone who is actively on their feet all day. The right thickness, I don’t like thick, bulky socks. Perfect amount of cushioning and compression. Good stretch and fit, so it’s not too tight. No annoying toe seams that feel like a rock in your shoe all day.
The heel tab not only helps you put your socks on, but it can also help them stay upright and even prevent blisters.
