Purchased At:
REI
Strengths:
They fit my feet?
Weaknesses:
Not particularly great at wicking, and I'm thinking there's something in there I'm allergic to, since for a couple days after wearing them for the one and only time, the soles of my feet itched like crazy.

Bottom Line:
I was at REI picking up some camping gear, and spotted a "20% off" sign above their bike socks. Figuring you can never have too many pairs, I scooped two or three of these. I didn't like the first pair I used at ALL, finding them to be pretty uncomfortable - and then there was the 3-4 days of itching that followed. The other two pairs were returned the following weekend, and the one pair went in the bin, alas.
