Extremely Comfortable Socks With A Hidden Pocket To Boot
If you are in the market for comfortable socks with a gimmick, then this is your stop. I procured these socks for the sole purpose of the hidden pocket that was advertised. What I did not expect is how comfortable they would be to wear despite the pocket. These socks fit, and are as comfortable as my best pair of socks that I use for the gym and my delivery job.More times than I can count, I have lost money out of my uniform pants pockets that are way too shallow to store anything of value. I never seem to learn my lesson. After utilizing these socks for the past several shifts, I found that I can safely and comfortably store money for lunch breaks without having to worry about losing the money as I had when I would still use my pants pockets. At the gym, I use the hidden pocket to store my gym locker key so I no longer have to carry it around my personal water flask and risk dropping or losing it.As previously stated, the comfort level of these socks is top notch. The extra padding in the toe and heel make for a more pleasurable experience than my standard issue work socks. They perfectly contour to my feet, and are designed and crafted brilliantly to ensure enhanced breathability and durability at the same time.The only negative that I can mention is the current price of these socks. Yes, you do receive two separate pair in this package, and they are great socks, but I feel that close to $50.00 ($25.00 per pair) is a pretty steep price to pay for socks. If you have the disposable income, then I say go for it, but if you are on a budget, you may want to wait and see if the company offers a discount or a coupon in the future.

Only one pocket per pair, it’s smaller than claimed but they’re good socks with a good hiding spot
These are what I would call boot socks. They’re thicker than dress socks and provide just a little additional cushioning. I’m pretty tall and they still come up and completely over the calf. The tops are about 4” higher than the top of my cowboy boots.Each pair has only one pocket - why they didn’t put a pocket in each sock is beyond me. The pocket is functional and seems reasonably durable. It’s fabric, not plastic, and each of the seams is double stitched. The pocket may be 4.25x6” but the zipper is only 3.5” long so you’re probably going to be limited to things that are 3.25” wide max. In other words, no passports but your credit cards, ID, and money should fit. I believe they’re correct with their claim that these are Anti Pickpocket - even if a thief knew you were wearing these socks, it’s hard to imagine how they might get themselves in a position to steal anything from them. I’m unclear why you would want to put an Airtag or GPS tile in there - don’t you already know where you are?Let’s discuss what it means to be “TSA friendly.” I suspect these socks are more “TSA resistant” than friendly. When they write that the “zipper that won't set off a metal detector” I believe that’s true. The zipper’s teeth are plastic leaving only the zipper head and the stopper at the bottom made of metal. I believe both are aluminum which also won’t set off the metal detector. The pocket naturally sits to the side of your leg - not the front or rear - so anything inside will, most likely, be detected should they pat you down. Were they to discover you’ve hidden something here, I don’t believe the TSA is likely to be at all friendly, even if what you’re carrying is completely legal. They tend to disapprove of people hiding things and always take it personally.So, in short, there’s only one pocket per pair and it’s smaller than they advertise. Other than that, it’s a pretty nice little hiding spot.

Great socks with a unique storage spot
I like these socks for their covert hidden pocket which is unexpectedly concealed on the upper leg. It is big enough for the concealment of all manner of small items one may want to keep secret and private. The socks themselves are decent quality but not heavyweight or what could be considered thermal. The two pair packaging hassle free and convient but seemingly a bit pricy.

Sags
These socks sag while walking, especially if carrying something in the pocket. One sock in each pair has a zippered pocket about 5” deep and 4” wide. That is large enough for my slim wallet, a nice feature since I do not always wear pants with pockets.When I donned the navy socks, my wallet was about mid-calf. After a few stairs and trotting back and forth, the wallet had slipped to my lower calf and made me quite aware of its presence. The other sock had settled also, but rode three inches higher. I tried again when I walked the dogs for three miles: my wallet was by my ankle.I would not ordinarily choose these socks for walking, as the sock with the slippery pocket also sags when empty. Fortunately, I seldom need to carry my wallet while walking. They do work for driving or sedentary activities, especially if access to my wallet is not expected to be necessary or can be performed in a discreet location.Full disclosure: I ordered these ZIP IT GEAR Passport Anti Pickpocket Socks w/Hidden Pocket through the Amazon Vine program. As a user of the product, I have done my best to provide an honest review.

They work well as socks AND as secret storage.
When these first arrived and I saw the size of the zipper, I thought, "There's no way a passport is gonna fit in there." Well...it turns out that it's just big enough!These seem well built, and they're comfortable. So they work well as socks, which is job #1.One thing to keep in mind, though, is that you're only going to want to wear these in mild or cooler weather with long pants. If you're traveling to a hot climate that feels less than secure, you're probably going to want to wear shorts, which is gonna make these socks a non-option unless you absolutely don't care how you look.
