## Description

Maximum comfort and protection for the runner on long distances or anyone who wants the most cushioned athletic sock

Review: Invest In Some; Excellent Quality - Arrived on time, as advertised, and nice and thick with long wear. Very good quality. Male relative wears with sandals and keeps feet well protected with comfortable coverage.
Review: Better Comfort through Thicker Cushioning - Walk a lot. Run a bit. Needed something that works with Nike shoes for athletics and leather Oxford shoes at the office. I tried a lot of different socks. These Thorlo XJ maximum cushion black socks work great. Good as everyday socks. Black fits with leather shoes at the office and with black sneakers for athletics. P.S. The Thorlo website recommends using fabric softener to keep the springiness in the thick cushioning. UPDATE September 2022 - still excellent cushion and comfort! I replaced all my socks with Thorlo XJs at Thorlo's December sale and wear them every day, wash mostly with fabric softener and after almost a year they're as comfortable as the first time. Far better than cotton even on a hot day! For exercise on the hottest summer days, I use a made-in-China sock that's very short, thin, has arch support elastic and some cushion. I wish there were a made-in-USA mini-sock that was as good - and I've tried a few. For hiking boots, I wear Thorlo XJ or Thorlo Wcxu Max Cushion 12 Hour Shift Crew Socks, which go higher up the ankle than the XJ's and support the arch nicely with a stronger squeeze although they're a bit too tight at the top.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very Good All Purpose Socks
*by B***E on November 13, 2022*

The Thorlo XJ Max running crew is a great sock in my opinion. The are not too tight, I have wide feet and wide ankles so most socks tend to be too tight and small for me. These seem to have just the right amount of stretch and softness. The cushion is very useful too, if you're a runner you'll appreciate the extra cushion inside your running shoe. You may also like wearing them around the house to keep your feet warm. I'm in cold and damp Connecticut and house floors are quite cold but these Thorlo XY Max Running Crews are like wearing slipper socks. They're comfortable, cushiony and durable. Yes durable, they seem to last me years of use before they lose their cushion and get holes. Good Stuff!
