The question you must ask yourself is who is more of a looser? You for actually reading reviews of socks online, or me for doing the same, ordering them, and then writing a product review of said socks. The answer is both of us.I bought socks online, as for some reason I convinced myself that I was saving time by doing so. They arrived a couple of days later, and I put them through the 8 hour work test the next day. The saddest part of this story is that they are amazing socks. They are comfortable and plush, without being too tight around my plus sized ankle. After one day of wearing these socks, I noticed less fatigue when I arrived home. With all the talk of orthopedics and proper arches, we often do not consider that sock comfort is shockingly important in our day to day busy lives. These hold up wonderfully. I have been wearing and washing them for weeks now, with no sign of wear or degrade, and they still remain incredibly comfortable.I am slightly sickened to give socks a 5 star review, but Haynes has earned it. You will not regret this purchase, though the psychological impact of feeling sad and alone after receiving your socks in the mail takes months to fully ware off.

These are the most comfortable socks I've ever owned and at age 82 I've owned more than a few. Besides Hane's age-old reputation for durable, good-looking and long-lasting socks, THIS version of the regular everyday white sock features a perfect elastic top which stay up nicely and comfortably without digging into the skin and leaving a mark. I've switched to nothing else for everyday.

A little on the thin side, but a nice sock.

Comfortable and durable

Great buy!

Socks are soft and comfortable. Fit great and don't slide around my feet. Keeps my feet dry and comfortable at work

Like many fathers, mine likes to wear his socks until they cannot be worn anymore. These things last for years, it’s pretty much the perfect socks for men who wear things until the holes get too big and they can’t wear them anymore.I bought the brand that my dad already has and he replaced his discolored, mismatched and damaged sock with the fresh new ones i got him. I’ll buy him another set for the next couple years.

Spoiler: Hanes were so-so; Gold Toe were great.I wear white cotton crew socks basically every day, two pairs on workout days. I wear them with high-impact athletic shoes, work/walking shoes, and occasionally heavy work boots. I want them to last (no holes, no saggy tops), I want them to be comfortable, and I want a fair value for my money.So when I retired my old inventory nearly two years ago, I picked up five different brands of white crew socks.Durability: As I wore the socks, I tried to be very diligent about 'rotating stock' -- pulling socks to wear from the right-side of the drawer, putting in freshly-laundered ones on the left. In theory, they all received about the same amount of wear-and-tear.Wigwam (2/5): Unraveled at the top quickly -- after the first washing, three socks; after the third or fourth, almost every sock had loose tops. These thick socks took around a year before I started seeing holes in the toes or heel.Under Armour (4/5): Some unraveling around the 8 or 9 month mark, no holes until year two.Fruit of the Loom (3/5): Little unraveling, but heels thinned before the end of the first year, leading to holes.Hanes Cushion Crew (3/5): Modest unraveling, but moderate holes at toes and heels around the 9-12 month mark.Gold Toe Cotton Crew Athletic (5/5): Outstanding -- so far, no unraveling; two toe holes, one heel hole.Comfort: There's two factors for me -- first, softness; second, thickness/padding. Also, I'm not looking for a compression sock (like for when I fly, or if I develop CHF) -- nothing *too* tight (and none of them were).Wigwam (3/5): Very thick (for a crew sock), well-padded; stiff -- even after months of washing, they almost felt starched.Under Armour (5/5): Good thickness; started soft, became even softer after a few washes.Fruit of the Loom (3/5): Felt slightly thin; good softness.Hanes Cushion Crew (4/5): Good thickness; slightly stiff, but not as bad as Wigwam).Gold Toe Cotton Crew Athletic (5/5): Thick, but not too thick; softest out-of-the-plastic, and better as time went by.Value: All bought on the same date, non-sale prices (just standard Amazon prices)Wigwam Super 60 Crew ($2.97/pr)Under Armour Charged Cotton Crew ($2.50/pr)Fruit of the Loom Heavy Duty Crew ($1.81/pr)Hanes Cushion Crew ($1.78/pr)Gold Toe Cotton Crew Athletic ($1.72/pr)
