Customer Reviews Nike 3 Pair Pack Dri-Fit Cushion Crew

Well, this was indee an interesting purchase. While the socks fit just fine, and the Dri-Fit material and tech are wonderful, I was a bit puzzled to find each sock has a (L)eft and (R)ight designation marked on it. This both surprised and confused me, since I had never owned a pair of socks like this previously. Of course, I was curious and wondered, why? At first I started properly wearing them on the designed foot; (L)eft on my left foot and (R)ight on the right foot. I did this for a while and everything seemed fine... my relationships continued as usual, no bad days at work, no traffic accidents, etc. However, after owning said socks for some weeks, there were days I accidentally put a (R)ight onto my left foot and vice versa to no great detriment. After washing them, I found there were indeed days I was putting on two (L)eft socks on, one on each foot, and other days two (R)ight socks on each foot. After carefully observing this phenomenon, I am happy to report the (L)eft/(R)ight desingations with these Nike Dri-Fit socks seem to make no real difference in my daily life, which is a huge relief. So feel free to order these as you see fit. And worry not, the (L)eft and (R)ight on your new socks will have no perceivable difference whether you choose to place them on the proper foot, or get crazy and mix it up entirely. ;) Cheers.

My experience with L and R is quite different from other reviewers. I labeled half my socks L or R and wore them for a year. At that time, Rs and Ls fit the shape of my feet, even after washing. Unmarked socks were stretched out in the toe and looked more worn out. Try the research yourself and see.

I agree with reviewer Michael... with one exception. The Nike Swoosh is supposed to be on the outside of your ankle. If you do not pay attention to the right and left, you could end up looking a bit dorky with a Swoosh on the inside. Socks are great!

Great support for my old foot/ankle injury. Excellent padding without being too bulky.

Bought the first pair over a year ago and now these are the only ones that hubby will wear----He likes the wicking feature
