I have always been very active. I hike every chance I get, practice yoga, and I try to workout every day. I have always had such a hard time finding that perfect pair of workout socks. I am very prone to blisters so I like some padding but I also like a lightweight sock. I recently bought a few pairs of Thorlo’s Experia socks and I will never wear anything else again. They are the perfect hybrid. The toe and heel have a little extra padding but the body of the sock is very lightweight. The fit is amazing and I notice a huge difference in how my feet feel when I wear them. I bought mine at Zappos. They come in lots of cute colors but I stuck with basic black/white in the low-cut style. These will be your absolute favorite socks to wear for your summer (and fall and winter and spring!) workouts whether you walk, run, bike, or hike.
