I love these socks! I’ve had three pairs for awhile now. I wanted to have some experience wearing and washing them prior to my review.

I’m happy to say they got 5 stars out of the box for soft touch, innovative design and —spoiler alert! — “surprise gift” packaging. And they still get 5 stars. Why? Because they do what they say they are going to do! They’re soft, seamless, don’t slip down the heel, don’t rub and seem to be standing up under quite a bit of use, wash and reuse.

I think I’ve probably washed them 6-8 times since I’ve had them. Can’t tell the difference. Importantly, the silicone-ish tab on the back of the heel — that keeps them from slipping — is still the same consistency as when they were new.

I use them for walking - not great distances, but regularly. Aside from previously having frequent difficulty with “no show” socks slipping down into my shoe, I have “problem feet”. I’ll spare you the full list of 6-7 “issues” I have with my feet, let me mention one of the more problematic ones. I’ll skip the Latin name and just say that I get blisters very easily anywhere there is excessive friction on my feet. And I mean anywhere, heel, top of toes, bottom of toes, between toes, under calluses, under toenails. It is obviously important to me to have soft, seamless non-irritating socks.

But you don’t have to have all those annoying problems with your feet. Get them and I’m sure you’ll enjoy the pleasure of wearing comfortable socks. Forgot to mention that I shopped around a bit and have tried other “special” socks — in stores and on-line. Most of them were crazy expensive — one and a half times the cost of these or more —and substantially less comfy and effective.
