Review on Ultimate Comfort Mid-Calf Athletic Socks by Adam Bates

-------------- UPDATED from the original review. -------- Changing from 5 stars to 1 zero star is not an option. After the first wash, it turned out that half of the material on the inside of the sock had come loose. It hit my hand and a lint net for my dryer. I only had these 3 pairs of socks for about 2 weeks. EVERYONE has punctured heels. I don't mean "hole" as a vulnerability that can be patched. I mean the complete disintegration of the tissue and the formation of multiple (tens of) holes in ALL heels. I don't wear these socks outside and I don't walk over sharp-edged glass for fun. I wear them indoors and with shoes. I don't run marathons or walk 100 miles straight and I don't weigh 600 pounds. However, they all failed. I have never had socks of such poor quality that they fall apart in my life. I have literally 3 wears of each pair and ALL have holes. If you can't keep up, they're $10 a pair. It costs $3 to wear and now I have to throw it away ($30). The most pathetic piece of clothing I've ever bought. Big. They don't slip or tighten like other socks. they are long I'm a size 12 and when put on they go up most of my calf. The only complaint was with 1 out of 3 pairs - the seam on the fingers was too pronounced and high. It was a little annoying when I first wore it. I hope it goes away after washing but I still give it a 5/5 as I suspect it was an accident as the other two pairs are fine and it was just one sock.
