Poor quality product,
October 14, 2009
By:

"I have purchased these socks on a number of occassions over the years and last year purchased 3 packs. I have been very disappointed with the quality of this latest purchase compared to those bought previously. The latest purchases are a much tighter fit and have less material resulting in that most of them have now got holes below the elasticated band where they have failed when pulling them on. It's a great shame that a once great product has deteroiated in quality to such an extent that I could not recommend them and will not purchase them again."

pros and cons,
August 10, 2009
By:

"I had no previous experience with these socks so no expectations. What I was hoping for was a sock that would not ride down around my ankles when using my nordic track and these certainly do not. They stay up extremely well. That being said I am pretty skinny and small boned but even so I find these extremely tight and leave creases in the skin around the top of the foot. This improves slightly, - although not a great deal - with washing. The quality is high but I suspect I would have preferred the earlier model one of the reviewers mentions which had a more "cottony" feel.
I have bought many pairs of the woolen version of these and in those I have found that they too have been changed over recent years to have less wool and more elasticising content to the detriment of comfort for the sake of toughness. Much prefer the earlier version of those."

tough but less cotton,
May 19, 2009
By:

"These socks have been changed from their former qualities by adding more poly and less cotton.Depends what you want. They are very well made and very tough. On the other hand they are tighter and feel more like ski socks without that great texture and feel that the cotton content in the old version provided. So if you want tough and long wearing these socks are for you. I prefer the cotton feel of the former style. They also lasted pretty well but not as well as I imagine these do."

Ruined a Good Thing,
March 10, 2009
By:

"I've been buying these socks for at least six or seven years--long enough to appreciate their value and have seen slight changes in the design and construction over time--and still have pairs that are probably three or four years old. They do indeed wear like iron and are extremely comfortable.
I recently (a few months ago) had to replace a couple pairs and so ordered some new ones. When they arrived I was surprised to find that the latest iteration of these socks is very different from the previous ones.
First of all , the fabric seems to have a higher non-cotton content. It is shinier, and does not breathe as well as the older design.
Second, the socks are extremely tight, particularly across the ankle/instep. They are difficult to get on and off, and uncomfortable in use.
I thought that perhaps they would "wear in" over time and after a few washings but that has not been the case. The fabric still feels more like synthetic than cotton, and not amount of stretching will make the socks comfortable.
While I used to enthusiastically recommend these socks to friends, I can no longer do so, and will have to search for a replacement."

Best socks ever,
December 26, 2008
By:

"These are easily the best socks I've ever owned. They are EXTREMELY comfortable and are thin enough to wear with dress shoes. What's more, I've never seen anything like them in the market. I never thought I'd be raving about socks but you have to buy these!!"

Excellent Cotton Socks,
March 12, 2008
By:
Gieserfrom Memphis, TN
"First of all, I have a hard time finding cotton socks that I really like. The all seam to become sort of hard, or rough and a bit uncomfortable. They always slide down my leg, and it drives me nuts! These are very comfortable and they stay up! I can't believe it. I am a fairly big guy with large calves and these socks are the best for cotton socks. If I were going to make any suggestions about them, it would be that they were a wee bit taller. Thank you Orvis!!!!
