Now that fall is underway, many of us are looking forward to crisp walks and hikes to admire the changing foliage. But taking in those vibrant colors can quickly get interrupted by the bane of any outdoor excursion: blisters. That's why having the right accessories, like these popular Saucony Performance Heel Tab Athletic Socks, is important. Not only will their high-rise heels help protect against painful rubbing and blistering, they also have built-in arch support and mesh ventilation for increased breathability. (No sweaty feet to see here.) Best of all? A pack of eight pairs is just $16 — that's $2 a pop!
There's no such thing as having too many socks, and at these prices, why not snag a few packs in different colors?
Swipe it onto your feet like deodorant and it'll help prevent your skin from painful rubbing. Plus, it's formulated with vitamins A and C to soften dry, cracked feet!
It might be hard to imagine that one pair of socks could really stand out above the rest, but when it comes to this pack, Saucony engineered a winner. It's clear that the brand put just as much thought into their socks as they do their quality sneakers, from the targeted zone cushioning that keeps the high-impact parts of your foot comfy to the toe seam that was designed to minimize irritation.
As mentioned, they also have built-in arch support, which cradles the foot and provides a bit of extra compression for better stability, and the moisture-wicking material helps ensure your feet stay cool and dry on long walking days. That said, the heel tab feature might just be our favorite, because blistered ankles are certainly not on our autumn Bingo cards. Not only do they protect one of the most pain-prone areas, they also make slipping the socks on a breeze.
If you're still on the fence, know that over 88,000 five-star reviewers are loving their Saucony socks.
"Disney-quality!" exclaimed one theme park-goer. "I bought these socks specifically for my Disney trip. I wore them exclusively and walked 10+ miles a day in them. I have since worn them back for another Disney trip where it rained, and others on the trip ended up with an abundance of blisters. These socks keep my feet safe and dry and have 1,000% stood the test of time. I put 15+ miles on a single pair in a single day and my feet are in absolutely perfect condition. It doesn’t get any better than this."
"So soft and comfortable!" gushed another happy wearer. "I love the way these feel! They are perfect for working out and helps keep my feet from blistering on long walks and hikes. 10/10 recommend!"
"These definitely hold up to the Saucony name, as they are my favorite shoes," shared a satisfied shopper. "The extra-thick tab on the ankle is excellent for walking, running and working for long durations. My one complaint is that they are huge hair attractors. All loose hairs in the dryer cling to these socks and it's quite the pain to pick out." (Psst: These highly rated hair removers are an easy fix for that — just toss 'em into the washing machine with your laundry!)
"I was looking for lightweight socks that had arch support, cushioning in the heel and a heel tab that wouldn’t slip during long distances, and these are perfect," gushed a final fan. "They’re great for exercise and everyday use. ... I would absolutely buy them again."
