awesome for running
Armand: 
These socks are made for running I'll consider them if I was you!The guys at Backcountry know what they are doing. These socks are made for running, I run a lot and wear them a lot, I wish they had them in white.
Super Socks

These are probably the most comfortable socks I own. They're breathable and don't hold in moisture. Way more bang for your buck than average.

550 Miles of Trekking, Mountain Biking, Mountaineering, Snowshoeing, Kayaking, Rock Climbing and more through record soaking wet Spring run-off conditions. The Coconas held up beautifully with the plethora of footwear required for this ultra-endurance race, providing a form-fitting, friction-reducing layer to keep our feet free of debilitating blisters.Team Nike ACG / Gore-Tex gives the Cocona Trail Sock a 5-Star rating!
Good for some days, not for others
Brian B.: 
I really wanted to like these socks, and on one day, I did. And then on the next day I hated them. I'll tell you why. These socks are great at keeping your feet dry, keeping the funk down, and being a cozy sock. If your day consists mostly of sitting, with an occasional trip somewhere, these are great socks. On the other hand, if your day consists of standing for long periods, or doing a lot of walking, or hiking, these socks will destroy your feet. The problem lies in the cocona fabric. It is designed to provide more surface area on each thread by bonding carbon to the polyester. This is fine until you put an 8 hour workdays' worth of pressure on that fabric, then it starts to give you little micro cuts, and your whole foot feels raw. I could actually pull my skin taught and see where these little cuts were.So long story short, good for sitting (would be a KILLER dress sock) but bad for standing or hiking.
poor to so-so
bitterroot bandit: 
not impressed overall. i think it's more in the manufacturing than the fiber. these were tight in the foot (and no, i don't have fat feet), didn't stay put, and a hole quickly formed at the seam on each sock of the pair. i was constantly uncomfortable on a 15 mile hike in the bitteroots, don't think i'll be trying these again. as far as the cocona fiber, it was fine. it was about 54F, not a sweaty feet day for me, so i'll need to comment on that another day.
