Back when I first started in running when I was in university I quickly realized that the cotton athletic socks I was using wouldn’t cut it. I made my way to a local running store to buy my first pair of proper running socks, a pair of Thorlos.
Since then I still have several pairs of Thorlos in my sock drawer, all Experia Mini Crew socks. I wear them all the time when I’m running in the summer. The good folks at Thorlo let me know that they just came out with a new line of Experia socks now, the Experia Crew, a part of the Jet Black Collection.
I love the Thorlos I already own so I jumped at the chance to test these new socks out. With the weather turning chilly here in Calgary I have a definite need for these crew socks! They come in plenty of fun colours and I received a pair of the Jet Turquoise to review.
On my long run this weekend the weather started off a little chilly so this was the perfect opportunity to test the new Experia Crew socks out. I’d also be running for over 2 hours so I’d really find out how well these socks worked.
I’m a size 9 so I fall right on the edge between sizes. Thorlo send me the smaller size to review, a size small. The fit on these guys were perfect!
How did the socks fit on the run? I never noticed them at all. The cushioning in the front of the foot and the heel is really comfortable. I really appreciate having a crew length sock to keep my ankles covered in the cool weather. There was no bunching, no rubbing, no blisters at all. I love them just as much as my Experia mini crew socks!
I most definitely need to add more pairs of the Thorlo Experia Crew socks to my sock drawer!
What are your favourite socks to run in when the weather cools down? Have you tried Thorlo Experia socks before?
*Thorlo sent me these socks to review, however all opinions are my own.*
I love those socks! I have a couple pairs of the shorter ones. I love the pads in them and the bright colors. May have to try out the crew ones now.
