As others have reviewed, these literally are NOT the Dockers sport crew of the past. I purchased a number of the previous Dockers over a decade ago. I work on my feet all day in sales, ALL DAY. I have tried ALL the best shoes out there that aren't over $100. The only reason I have never spent this on shoes is because in my kind of work, I would likely wear ANY shoe down in a short matter of time. I found a specific style of Rockport oxfords to be the best. Even so, I find I still need a good cushioned sock to assist. Once I tried the old Dockers sport crews ... I was hooked! NEVER have I found a better sock, before or since! EVER! I fortunately purchased a large amount of them at the time. Over the past decade, they finally started wearing out (yes, after nearly a DECADE of wearing only so many pair ALL the time, on my feet five days a week). When I attempted to purchase more a few years back, they were not as thick/cushioned. So I tried others, to no avail. Eventually most of the pair were getting large holes (even with small holes, these 2000s option were easily better than new competition!) I finally broke down and tried the newest sport crew option (since they change makers all the time, anyway). These present models (sold on this page) are thicker again, at least. However, they shed a lot and when I take them off after work, theres a good amount of lint. Out of the laundry dryer, there was a TON of lint the first time. There was so much from the darker ones that it was nearly impossible to de-shed the lighter ones (a MESS!)  After a number of washes, it gets a little better. Somehow, mine do not have the holes in them, yet, as others here complained, but Im surprised by the amount of shedding. Theyre softer than the originals from a decade ago, which not only means shedding but they also fit looser, which is also bad. Overall, these are thicker than many on the market, which is good for long hours on your feet, but they are definitely NOT the quality of the past. As I write this, I am wearing one of the handful of my originals, now over a decade old. I don't wear these on the job anymore, but as long as these last few have no holes, I wear them outside of work since they're still better than any other sock Ive tried (AMAZING) and THAT is the difference!
