Socks are soft and feel great. Had to get used to the performance aspect of the sock because around the arch it tapers in and is pretty tight, so maybe that holds up your arch better or something. Like that the pack comes in several colors and seem to be durable so far. Material is on the thin side but still soft. I wear a 10.5 and they fit pretty true to size, I could see someone with larger sizes may having a problem with fitting.
