I tried a pair of these, and then I bought three more.  They look like regular socks.  They aren't insanely expensive. They're durable.  Never stinky.  And the tops don't strangle my legs.  They' almost feel too tight around my ankles though so I tend take them off the moment I get home.  Yes, I know they're compression socks, but my ankles are on the small size - 7.5 inches. Thats really my only complaint.
