I have been buying these socks for at least four years for myself and for others as gifts. I've always bought them from Foot Traffic because they have best selection. Christmas 2017, I was given six different pairs because people know that I love them so much. In the past, they have lasted over a year before they start to get holes in them. This time, they started getting holes in them 6 weeks out and have failed basically one pair per week. So far half of them have holes in them. I have attempted to contact the company and there was no response from them. Supremely disappointed because I can't find socks like these from any other company.
