Balega Blister Resist Quarter Socks blend mohair and synthetic Drynamix for the ultimate in blister prevention. The combination of fibers, and the seamless construction of the sock create a frictionless environment where feet are cool, dry, and protected. Drynamix—a synthetic high-performance yarn—wicks moisture away from the skin, while ultra-soft mohair—a trusted natural fiber for sensitive skin—minimizes irritation and regulates temperature in all seasons. Constructed to support feet during runs, hikes, athletic pursuits, travel, and daily wear, the socks feature a wide arch band and microfiber mesh ventilation panels that provide enhanced comfort and support, prevent pressure marks on the top of the foot, and promote circulation. A hand-linked seamless toe, and extra deep heel pocket ensure second-skin fit, while an elastic rib quarter top grip keeps out dirt and grime and prevents socks from slipping into running shoes and hiking boots. Balega Blister Resist Quarter Socks feature medium-volume cushioning that encloses and protects feet, creating a comfortable barrier between skin and shoe, and a reinforced heel and toe for exceptional durability. All Balega socks are race tested, and individual pairs are washed and inspected prior to shipping. Sold as a pair.

Great socks - very cushiony
Great socks - very cushiony. A little too thick for wearing with my existing sneakers.

Thick and comfortable
Purchased these socks to decrease blisters and calluses on my feet when working out (elliptical, running, waking, etc). They are thick, yet comfortable. They are also not at all hot, even in the humid and high 90 degree summer Southern US weather.! I have not had any blisters or calluses since I started wearing them. Would purchase them agaIn and think they are a good value for the money.

Buy these socks immediately
These are the best socks!! Not sure what changed but the last 5-6 times I’ve hiked in my boots I’ve gotten horrific blisters. I won a permit for Angel’s Landing and was very worried about how my feet would do considering one of my heel blisters was still healing. These socks are awesome though! No blisters, and the blister I already had did not get worse

Not quite blister resist for my very sweaty feet
Not quite blister resist, but still a really nice sock! 3.5 stars. I tried these on a through hike alongside Balega Enduro (basically the same sock but thinner), wearing them with Brooks cascadia shoes for about 8-14 mile days on varied terrain. They were great til I got hot and my feet sweat a lot. These definitely are amazingly cushiony and I didn’t get any blisters— til my feet started getting saturated with sweat, and the thickness of the socks didn’t allow them to dry quickly or evenly, inside my shoes or when pinned to the outside of my pack. However, the blisters I did get were smaller and way more manageable than with any other type of sock, and after I covered the blisters, the cushion of these socks was very welcome. So even if you do get blisters with these, it might be a better situation than another sock?Overall these still work great for other purposes and shorter hikes on colder days, and these would probably be ideal to wear with boots. Also my feet sweat quite a lot, so if you’re not on a long hike with very sweaty feet you might expect better results for the blister resist part.They’ve held up nicely in the laundry and have had no issues with pilling, the seam and weave are all tight and high quality. Good value for the money.

Got blisters in the first 3 miles
After years of running I've started getting blisters this summer. I bought these socks along with some other well known running sock brands to try out and see what worked best to prevent my blisters. A couple other brands' socks have been effective. These have not. I am one week out from a marathon, so doing lots of milage, and I decided to try these out on a 3 mile jog today. About a mile in I started feeling a hot spot and by the end of the run I had a small to medium sized blister already. The backs of the heels of the socks look roughed up and worn after less than a half hour of wear. These socks have fallen very short of my hopes and I would not buy them again.
