Bought these about a month ago and excellent so far . Every other brand of socks I've bought at this price point (pretty cheap) only last about a year before holes appear on them. Let's see if they get better. A feature that others like but don't really like: Each pair of socks has an "L" sock and an "R" sock, and the socks are of any shape. so slightly different to fit your feet better. I don't notice any difference in comfort with such a specialization. That said, getting socks out of the dryer is a little awkward, not to mention having to turn on the light when putting them on to make sure they're on the right feet.
