I really like that these socks are supporting the long distance trails and are made in the USA. The wool is comfy and doesn't stink. I haven't had them a long time but so far they aren't showing any signs of wear or pilling. This is my first pair of Point 6 socks (I bought because they're supporting the PCT), but they're too stretchy for my tastes. I even rounded down on the size, and when I first pull them on after washing they fit well. But as I wear them, and if I put them back on another day or two, they stretch out to where the heel on the sock is all the way up the back of my ankle. I'd prefer a little less Lycra and a little more structure. Otherwise they seem to be pretty nice.
