I dislike an open/coarse weave or overly thick gym socks for lack of comfort. I'm in the zone that I don't like overly thick or thin socks and would like to get at least some multi-use for them. Here, what I like about these is that they have a substantial enough weave construction for the gym but are even more easily used as a non-dress daily sock for work/everyday wear. And they are comfortable. Silky feel. What I especially like is that they're closer to my size unlike the one size fits all offered by the vast majority of manufacturers. I purchased two different types of socks from Revain in the past number of weeks. These were IMO one of the two best affordable socks from all the available ones at the Revain site. Edit: it has "pilled" or "shredded out" somewhat at the bottom of the socks after months of substantial use, but has not stretched out, is breathable and still comfortable while retaining a silky feel. Although I still use dress socks when necessary as I don't consider these as "dress," if I was only allowed to wear one sock, these would be it. I am a size 9 or 9 1/2 depending on the shoe. The medium fit me perfectly without being too loose which I have found to be a problem with more socks than I can count. It has retained the same shape and not stretched out after months of use. Edit: I am seeing some commentary about moisture issues. I have had some issues with previous socks, I have no issues with these. Many times it is an issue with the shoes that they are using, but because they spent so much for the shoes the issue HAD to to be with the socks. Edit 11/24/2021: I have purchased these a number of times since 2018. My opinion has not changed. I guess you could consider these for somewhat as feel as light compression socks if anything would fit that description, but nothing I have tried since then compares to these in terms of comfort and fit. I don't have any sock that transitions from gym to work to casual as these do. Nothing is perfect but these are pretty damn close considering what is available on the market. I've had topline socks from Nordstrom, Saks, etc. at more that 25 bucks a pair and these are better.
