Ok, I bought a pair. Firdt let me say that customer service was just fantastic. I received emails and was kept in the loop on my order. (just $13.) Surprised me! Second, the socks came in the mail in just two days. Crazy! Third, I tried them Tuesday nite . They felt great and very comfortable. I did not notice any difference with my shoe being too tight. The heel and ball of the sock are extra thick with nice stitchings. Elastic band over the top of the foot is a nice touch. My feet felt comfortable before and after bowling. (I only bowled a three game set so take it for what its worth.) Now I did roll a 300 in that set coincidence maybe but... I plan on wearing these socks for a while longer. One more thing, the postage on the socks was $2.12 which was included in the $13. cost. I do not regret buying these socks.
