They are tube socks and thus are cheap. The material is medium (not thin like dress socks but not thick like nicer socks). They aren't as comfortable or as well made as Hanes socks and you can see through the top portions as they stretch. They are a bit taller than expected. Im 5'9 and a size 10 mens shoe and the top of the socks go over my knee by about an inch. I have to fold them down below the knee. Overall they are okay.
