Has anyone ever tried..........

[princessknb]

thorlo socks for walking in the parks and if so did you find $10.00 per pair worth it?

My DH and I love our thorlo socks and always bring them when we go to WDW.

Buy 1 pair and wear them awhile to see if you like them before you buy a pair for each day of your trip.

HTH,

Hi, princessknb!

In a word: YES!

I always wear Thorlos for walking and extended activities and they absolutely save my feet. They're supportive, cushioned and excellent EXCELLENT quality.

The $10 is a bargain because they last forever -- and I mean forever. Once you try them, I would be shocked if you ever went back to "regular" cotton socks.

Consider it an investment in your health!

I started using thorlo socks when I was training for the half last year. These socks are as wonderful as everyone is saying. You won't be sorry if you decide to purchase them.

Thanks for the replies. I'm on my way to buy a pair now!! By the way do they have them for kids or just adults?

I think they are too thick. DH wears them for running and for walking WDW. I think you'll just have to try them and see.

My husband had terrible problems with blisters on our trip. It really ruined it for him. Where can you find these socks? department stores? discount stores?

I think I've seen kids socks at my local store.

i Just did a search on Ebay to look up the socks, looks like some pretty good deals, maybe able to save some money. mostly 19.99 for 3 pair.... and also 41.99 for 5 pair.

Hopes this helps someone

I don't know if you have them in your area but Academy carries Thorlo socks.

I wore them when I was waitressing (waaay back when) and loved them, I would try them out before you go through, they do take a bit of getting used to. I got mine at Acadmey (sporting goods store).

You normally need to purchase them at a better shoe store or athletic goods store.

Those e-Bay prices are a great deal!

I've not seen them in children's sizes...

I looked at the Thorlo Company website and they listed these online retailers as carrying their brand:

Zappos
The Walking Company
The Sports Authority
The Athlete's Foot
REI
Amazing Socks
Sport Mart

There are many others, if you'd like to check them out here.

They're great. Feels like you're strapping on a pillow to your foot. I've had some pairs last me three years. Worth every dime.

I bought the thorlo socks and a pair of new balance cross trainers and I just did a 4 mile walk and my feet and legs feel wonderful!! Thorlo socks and New Balance sneakers are now my footwear for the Disney trip.

This is the first time I've heard about Thorlo's socks. I checked them out and found they come in three levels of thickness. What level do you use for walking in WDW? I think I will invest in one pair before we go to WDW to see how they feel.

I bought level 3 but I think I will go back and purchase levels 1 and 2 also.
