My son loves these socks! They hold up really well. Don't make his feet smell and are the perfect height for him - they aren't so low cut they slide down, and not so high they slide down. We've actually developed a pattern of alternating the colors when we go up a size so we can easily tell the smaller ones to pull them out of the rotation when the time comes. (we bought the same color once back to back and i was matching the larger size with the smaller one while they were both being worn.)
