I bought these socks because they were cheap and multi-pair (6 pairs of socks). I thought it made the most sense so I could always have extra and clean socks ready to go without having to always remember to wash them for softball. Well turns out probably not my best idea. Cheap and lots of them ended up meaning lower quality. They are thin, which is pretty nice in the heat, but they are also thin -- my toes are already starting to wear through and we haven't even made it half way into the season yet. Mind you this is slow pitch softball -- but we're actually pretty competitive (I like to play hard). Probably great for kids in the smaller size, but after I wear these pairs out, I'll be moving on. Hopefully with 6 pairs I'll just last the season before new ones! Which could really be a plus if your team colors change quickly!
