These are great socks, in fact they are almost all I wear! To be fair, I wear a lot of sneakers. They are soft and thick enough to last a while. The selling point for me is that they don't go too low. I have other no show type of socks that just do not stay up and are pretty useless, but these are perfect. Maybe they show a little sometimes but I don't mind because that means the shoe can rub less on my ankle!
