I've really only worn Hanes socks. I needed colored socks for my work wear so I looked. I've tried comparing materials and such to find socks similar to my regular Hanes socks but haven't had any luck. So I'll describe my experience so far (I've been wearing them for about a week or so). The material is thinner. The toes are visible through the material (shoe size 10.5 US). - The picture is attached. They're comfortable enough that I don't feel them and feel as warm as my old socks even though they're thinner. They don't slip or slip, they fit snugly and feel like a second skin. My old socks were spinning all night because I often move my feet when I sleep. These socks stay where I left them.
