1st things 1st - one of the 6 grey socks I received(in my 1st order of these "Low Cut" socks) had an obvious manufacturing defect - some stitching is missing from the "Carhartt" brand lettering near the toes - which is an obvious weakpoint now as it looks like it will wear out faster. It may have not been obvious when it was in the packaging(because they attach that area to the cardboard strip with a plastic mini-cord). That is obviously a disappointment.

The positive:
+ I wear a size 10.5 or 11 men's shoe - the size "L"(6-12) fits my feet fine, not overly tight anywhere.
+ I wore them in humid working conditions and my feet did not feel sweaty(although the shoes were more like loafers and not boots)

The negative:
- These "Low Cut" socks have no nylon which I feel is lighter, more resistant to wear, and feels better on my skin than usual polyester - this is different from the other socks made by Carhartt that I own.
- These are very low on my foot, not a "quarter" sock size at all like some claim - maybe if you are size 9, definitely not for boots or hiking shoes if you want to avoid skin abrasion on the ankle. Each company that makes socks seems to have its own idea what a "low cut" or "quarter" or "no show" sock should be(and all of these get mixed in as "ankle" socks).

About 3.8 stars because of the defect in the 1 sock in the pack.
