i was hesitant to try out these socks for my workouts, but I'm glad I did. They are incredibly comfortable and provide great cushioning for my feet .Based on my observations, they seem durable and have held up well in the washing machine. The only con i can think of is that they are a bit pricey compared to other socks, but the quality is worth it. As a man who values both comfort and style in mens fashion, I highly recommend these socks..
