I’ve been wearing these particular Hue socks for about 15 years now. I can’t wear crew or ankle socks. These are right in between in height. They last virtually forever. Specifically I have some that I’ve had for a good 7 years and are now just beginning to wear at the toes. I wear these socks daily. Very very well made. Not too thin. And not too thick. I love them. They used to come in a rainbow of colors but now can only find them in black, navy, white and tan. I scoured the Internet looking for replacements and finally found them from this vender. Very pleased. Eventually ordering 10 pairs of black and 10 of Navy.They shrank quite a bit and are a little slippery on the bare floor, but over all, a nice pair of socks.I got these to wear under my walking sandals during a trip to Los Angeles and Yosemite. I knew I would need extra protection so I could have nice cool feet without getting blisters or having irritating grit grinding my soles. I wanted socks that did not call attention to themselves and the"chino" color was just right, blending with my skin tone. The socks were very comfortable and so far have washed and dried very nicely.I wear a size 9 and was concerned that these might be too tight, but they are not. They fit perfect. I have not had them long, so I cannot speak to how long they will last, but they are very comfortable. They have been washed and dried once and and still fit great. I purchased 5 pair in black and I will be buying some in a neutral color.I love these socks. The first ones I got I received as a gift and they came from a local department store. when I went to buy more, they didn't carry them. What a disappointment. But then I found them on Amazon. Woo hoo! If you don't like socks biting into your ankles or falling down and getting sucked into your shoes. these are the socks for you. I can't praise them enough. And they wear like iron.They are not as thick as I expected to them to be but that turned out to be a good thing. They are just perfect. I bought two pairs and am so glad I did since I find myself wearing them A LOT!!! Now I want to buy all the paterned cute Hue socks.Super comfy and stay put without strangling my ankles. Perfect for booties.I love this socks. Very smooth and excellent quality. Many colors to choose from so can coordinate with outfit. I have bought 25+ pairs and will buy more. I wear them to the gym, for casual dress and around the house without shoes.
