In fairness, I must report that I complained to SockGuy Michael Foley himself via the company website. He really cares about customer satisfaction, communicated with me several times and provided several socks that he hoped we would like better. In fact, most of them are far more comfortable than the ones I returned to him, and you can't beat that kind of customer service!
Bottom Line:
Pretty amazing customer service --a real satisfaction guarantee.

Strengths:
Stunning patterns, colors and graphics.
Weaknesses:
These are the least comfortable socks my spouse and I have ever worn. They are knobby and bumpy inside, with extremely uncomfortable toe seams. If one needs to walk at all in them, plan on wearing them inside out* or suffer a rub or blister. *Unfortunately, if worn inside out, the cute designs don't show --then the sock has absolutely no reason for existence.

Bottom Line:
Even when I'm not riding, I pretty much wear my Sock Guys all the time. I have about 20 pairs of them, bought from various stores, given to me as gifts, schwag tables, trail advocacy kickbacks... you name it. Unlike the occasional pairs of Lins (that make my feet itchy) and Defeets (that make my feet all sweaty) these are indeed little gems. I have never paid the MSRP of $12.95 for them, and if I did I would be unhappy. But they are available cheaply from many fine online velocopede merchants. Someday I will make my own custom ones. Hooray for Sockguy!

Sockguy socks are your friends so be nice to them. Treat them with love and respect, because they're good friends. And don't take them for granted, they are nice socks. But most of all never utter a word against your precious sockguys.So remember Sockguy socks are your buddies, not your arch foes. And I would recommend it all with feet, because they are very lovely socks.

Strengths:
Easier to buy, there are only 2 sizes. Those 2 sizes fit much better than other's 4 sizes because of the nature of the material (75% acrylic in place of 50% for others). This material makes it feel like your feet are being massaged when you put them on. Plus the designs on the socks are by far the coolest I've ever seen.

Strengths:
Although I don't ride as much as I would like, I still find the sockguy socks comfortable. I wear them everyday, and find that my feet are less fatigued than normal. I stumbled upon the socks when a friend showed me a pair of the daytona socks she had. The novelty of their designs and the comfort allow me to give a little personal expression in my otherwise dull corporate world. I won't go so far as to say sockguys are for everyone, but certainly anyone with feet!

I have to wait for them to come in the mail. (I don't have the time to go shopping for them)

Strengths:
I love my sock guy socks. They are very comfortable. I love the fact that they are thin so it lets your feet breathe a little better. The best part about sock guy socks is that they form to your feet and always stay up, which is a major problem I have with other socks. I also love the really neat styles of socks they have.
Weaknesses:
The only weakness I beleive they have is white socks seem to get dirty really fast and it is hard to get them looking clean again.

These socks are great, I recommend them to everyone.

Bottom Line:
Like my two buddies from Encinitas already stated Sockguy socks are the best, best styles and color combos, durability and comfort that no one else offers. Feet stay cool in the So Cal summers and for the brutal winters here when a regular sock just won't do they have wool styles that warm the toes. What are your feet wearin?
Sock Guy socks offer cool designs and they stand the test of time. I own about 10 pairs and am always getting compliments on their looks. I love them. They are a good alternative to the industry giant Defeet. My wife calls me a "Sock-%hore" because I collect so many. I look forward to wearing my Sock Guy socks.

Bottom Line:
The Java socks from More Than Bikes/ SockGuy are the best socks I have ever used! They make the Defeet pale in comparison! SockGuy uses a fiber called Microsupreme that outwicks Coolmax and is sooo soft. It feels like your feet are dry all the time. And the design on it is outstaning, no errand colors showing through the design at all. His catalog available through Sockguy.com has lots of cool designs all using this Microsupreme. His socks also stretch to fit which makes them almost blister free. In short, call him and buy these babies. Way cool and comfortable!
