FYI: These fit larger feet as well. I've had friends who have 13 and 13.5 feet try them and they reported they stretched and fit well!
FYI x2: These won't be the best socks for training fully in your socks in the gym. I didn't build them with that in mind, and built them to be trained in with shoes. These are built to be breathable and just thick enough for training/casual wear. Tough friction on rubber gym floors from training shoeless can wear through these socks faster, and for that, you'll want a thicker sock or a polyester blended sock — not these.
CARE
I'm a big fan of washing most pieces of clothing on tap cold with a delicate cycle. This typically prolongs the lifespan of all articles of clothing.
You can wash these on a normal cycle with no issues. However, I want to make sure you get the most life

Features Worth Knowing
The core construction details that I think are worth knowing before you buy!
1. THICKER HEEL AND FOREFOOT
The extra padding on the heel and forefoot does two things. One, it increases this sock's comfort for training and daily wear. Two, it prolongs the lifespan of this sock.
2. COMPRESSIVE ARCH
The arch compression in this sock is awesome for giving you extra support and to promote better lockdown with this sock. These don't slide around when running and doing CrossFit and feel supportive.
3. COMPRESSIVE YET COMFORTABLE ANKLE
The ankle hugs well and doesn't slide for MOST anatomies and and training contexts. I've had friends use these for sprints, powerlifting, and tough WODs with no slide issues.
4. COMFORTABLE AND BREATHABLE
I built these socks to purposely be super comfortable out of the gym. They breathe well, too, while giving you enough warmth on crisp days. These are a great "do-it-all" workout sock.
That Fit Friend's Performance Assessment
That Fit Friend's Performance Assessment
Lifting Thresholds and My Assessment
This shoe can work well for recreational lifting. I've pushed them hard to assess where their stability starts to fall short.
Below are a few of the core and top lifting tests I've done in them.
455 lb deadlifts. Decent. I'd suggest capping your pulling to this amount and below in them.
325 lb squats. Not bad at all for being a hybrid shoe. You'll start to notice a bit of compression above 315 lbs so I'd suggest capping your loading to about 340 lbs and below.
205 lb reverse lunge. Overall good. I like the flexibility of these shoes for this training context, but you will notice a bit of compression above 185 lbs for single-leg work.
CrossFit and Cross-Training Assessment
These work best for CrossFit WODs that have a bias towards running and dynamic exercises like box jumps and double-unders. If you know your gym programs a heavy cardio bias, then these work great.
For cross-training, these will be best served for more general sessions where you're doing some jumping and dynamic movement. They may lack for serious lateral cutting, but in most cross-training workouts, they've performed great.
Running, Walking, and Comfort Assessment
For running, my favorite distances to run in these are from 1-5 miles. At this mileage, their lower stack height isn't a huge concern. These are also best for those with a forefoot and midfoot strike.
For walking and daily wear, I've really liked these. They're a good do-it-all shoe and have made them my training shoes for travel fairly often. They're a good option for someone who wants a single shoe for training while traveling.
