The Pure Athlete Durable Deadlift sock is built for serious crosstraining weight lifters and beginner weight lift and deadlift fans alike. Designed for weightlifting and deadlifting with the combined benefits of compression, protective features, gripping details, shin protection, and cushioned sleeve support throughout. The Lifting Sock is an asset for performance and increased weightlifting gains in the gym and acts as a shin guard to protect shins against abrasions from weight or dead lift bars.
The Deadlift Sock was designed for an anatomical fit, meaning that the right and left sides of the sock are different and geared to the fit of each individual side. Moisture wicking material ensures that perspiration doesn't build up in the socks. The Lifting Sock is the one you should reach for when your routine calls for heavy lifting, crosstraining, or deadlifting. The lifting socks are unisex and run in sizes S-XL. These socks can also be used for floor exercises and fitness, such as squatting and gymnastics.

These socks are advertised specifically as weightlifting socks, but I don't see that they're necessarily better for weightlifting than other socks you might wear. They do come up to just below the knee, so they would offer some protection to your shins against a barbell with knurling when you're deadlifting. But I wouldn't necessarily say this fabric would offer better protection than "ordinary" socks that also cover your shins.What these socks do have is rubber grips embedded in their soles. If you like to wear socks around your house, and especially if you have hard floors, the rubber helps provide a lot of additional grip. The socks also have a nice design and look good if you wear them without shoes.
For the price they work decently. Not much padding but for light weight they are great
I use these for deadlifting. They provide good shin coverage. I am a woman and ordered medium. They're a bit snug for somebody with muscular calves but I'm hoping they stretch a bit.
Great floor grips, nice material feel. No more scraped shins. I have no idea why I waited to so long to buy a pair of the coolest socks I have ever owned.
