The socks are pretty and comfortable, although I've washed them two times already and they don't appear that sturdy, not sure they will make 30 washes. However, would have been a solid 4 stars if it weren't for the fact I bought these to get the purple socks, literally, I wanted the purple and maroon socks and the black and brown were like bonuses. For whatever reason I got NO purple socks and TWO brown socks (which I definitely didn't need - ended up giving to a coworker). Not a problem if you aren't picky on the sock color.
