These seem to help support my ankles during muay Thai training. But a couple of simple things I think would make these a five star product... A giant tag on the inside of the sock?? That is almost impossible to remove without compromising the stitching? It's itchy and in the way. Why have a tag at all? Print the info on the bottom. The edge stitching is thick and if the sock slips out of position you end up with pretty intense discomfort on the balls or arches of your feet. Besides those two things I am overall happy with the product. The price is fair for what you get, and they're slim enough to wear under shin guards.
