I used to buy Puma crew socks from Costco, but haven't seen them there for over a year. I found these socks based on my preferences (listed below) and found them to perfectly check-off everything I wanted:

- Low price for a pack -- $10-15 is about right for a six-pack of socks with these features... any less and the quality is probably compromised, any more and it's probably either marketing or crafted to too high of a standard
- Fits great -- shoe size is 9 2E, bought the sock sized labeled 10-13(Shoe size 6-12)
- Stays in place and feels good on foot -- snug around the entire foot without squeezing so it keeps the sock in-place without limiting blood flow
- Stretchy around the calf -- I don't want to feel like I'm ripping the elastic when this goes over my lower leg
- Not too thin -- creates a level of padding between my foot and the shoe... business socks can bunch up and crease because of their thinness
- Not too thick -- my foot fits in all of my leather shoes exactly as expected, compared to the&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Dickies-Multi-Pack-Dri-Tech-Moisture-Control-Crew-Socks-Black-Socks-Size-10-13-Shoe-Size-6-12/dp/B004QF0TFQ/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Dickies Multi-Pack Dri-Tech Moisture Control Crew Socks Black Socks Size: 10-13/Shoe Size: 6-12</a>&nbsp;I tried, which made me unable to fit in some of my shoes
- Visible portion of sock is all-black -- while I mainly wear these with pants so the calf-portion of the sock shouldn't be visible, pants will hike up a bit when sitting... I don't want any gaudy logos there. The only visible branding is on the instep (the top of your foot right above the arch), and that is covered by shoes

So far, no downsides. The only thing left to determine is whether they hold up to repeat washing and drying. I'll report back in the future if I discover any issues with this.
