Thorlos socks are world renowned for exceptional cushioning. As we age, the natural “fat pads” on the bottoms of our feet significantly wear down. Thorlos cushioning in the ball of foot and heel replaces the function of the fat pads. The result, better protection and better feeling feet.

Thick padding and cushioning that holds up well I tried these socks out during a 3-day backpacking trip on the Big Island of Hawaii in conditions that ranged from 80-degree humid sunny weather to 60-degree cloudy and breezy.
