I loved the style of these socks. I was expecting them to be a bit longer, like crew socks, but they're a little higher than ankle socks, nonetheless, I was pleasantly surprised about the durability of these socks. I sometimes washed them twice a week, and they kept their color and remained soft. They really seemed very well made. They are so great, I passed them down to younger boy relatives, and they are still holding up and being loved immensely. I highly, highly recommend!
