These are great socks! I like that they are 100% USA cotton. They are thick and cushy, but not hot when you wear them. I wear a size 10 and they are definitely snug around the ankle area, but not to the point where they are restrictive or uncomfortable. I love the cushioned sole and I find I wear them around the house instead of going barefoot, just because they're so comfortable. I've bought Hanes products for years, but their quality has gone downhill in the past few years. These Gildan socks are the quality I was hoping for, and at a reasonable price. I recommend.
