'Socks of the gods': These cushy Adidas numbers are down to $18 for 6 pairs

Even the cushiest sneakers on earth can't compensate for the side effects of wearing thin, flimsy socks. You know that dreaded feeling of foot friction that can lead to blisters and painful hot spots? Or maybe you experience good 'ol "sock slip," making you stop every few paces to pull things back into place. You deserve better, and Adidas Athletic Cushioned Quarter Socks are just the ticket. Score a six-pack on sale for just $18 at Amazon.

Why is it a good deal? 💰

You can currently grab the black six-pack on sale for $18, down from $22 — a real deal, especially for Adidas. That's just $3 a pair for what could likely become your feet's new best friends.

Why do I need this? 🤔

A great, everyday sock for any time of year, these cushioned pairs are popular because they give you a plush landing pad to keep your feet comfortable step after step. Plus, the built-in arch compression means that annoying sock slippage is a thing of the past.

Another benefit is that these socks are moisture-wicking. Let's face it: Keeping our dogs covered up in socks and shoes can mean sweaty feet — and who wants that? Having socks that draw moisture away is essential if we want to avoid discomfort and odor (and the ire of our significant other).

What reviewers say 💬

A small army of more than 4,000 five-star reviewers can't get enough of these Adidas socks — that's 8,000-plus happy feet!

Pros 👍

"I have a bad habit of buying the cheapest socks available and then never wearing them because they don’t fit properly or they slide around," said this now-sock-savvy buyer. "These socks completely changed my mind around socks! I love them. They stay put. They are cushioned. They fit my chunky wide feet. They don't leave impressions. I’m obsessed. Forever an Adidas fan from now on."

One reviewer loved them so much, they referred to them as "socks of the gods," adding, "These socks are the best. So comfy, cushy, not to mention soft. I got them for nursing clinicals because my ankles have to be covered, but I’ve started wearing them everywhere."

"They are slightly thicker than regular socks because of the cushion," revealed this wearer, "and it makes them so much more comfortable. I feel like I have extra support when I'm walking, but they don’t make my shoes too tight."

"I have about 10 pairs and these are my everyday socks — never get any holes," said this dedicated fan. "Great quality and durability, and they fit snugly but not too tight. I wear them for work, exercise, and everything else. The right sock for everything. Feet never get too hot because they breathe and wick away moisture. Very happy and I'll keep buying."

Cons 👎

While reviewers generally have positive things to say, a few shared some notes.

One generally pleased sock shopper wrote, "My ankle hiking boots and winter boots tend to eat my socks … luckily, these are fitted well enough that they don’t slide down while I’m wearing or taking off my boots!" That said, they added, "The only downside is that they pick up all the pet fur in the wash. Better my socks than blouses, I guess?" (Psst: These pet hair removers can be tossed in with your laundry to help avoid just that!)

Meanwhile, a final buyer shared that they are "comfortable and sturdy" in their four-star review, but also noted that "once you wash them, they do shrink a little bit ... they're a little bit snug, but they still fit."
