I'm a runner, and just ordered two pairs of socks! seems like a great business to me. I have no insight into what could/couldn't be a billion dollar business, but I'm also positive that not every successful company needs to be a billion dollar business.

No disrespect to GP, but at a glance, it's a specialty online store. I'm sure it's great and doing well, but it's not a "take over the world" kind of breakthrough idea.
I'd really like to hear a followup on how these socks compare to Thorlos and Balegas.
I like the socks quite a lot. they are much thinner and more lightweight than balegas, but they fit my foot a bit better and they breathe really great.

If you like a thinner sock, these are the best I've tried.

I'll report back! my preference is for Balegas over Thorlos, I feel that Thorlos quality has dropped off in recent years. I'm happy with Balegas, but go through them fairly quickly, as I run 200-250 miles/month.
