Purchased in May 2017 and my wife only wears then during the summer weekdays for gardening. In about 4-5 months of wear the elastic is shot in whats any otherwise good sock. She takes a few steps and then has to bend down to pull them up. Needless to say she won't be doing that every day shes in the garden. Perhaps theyll be good for cleaning the blinds but as for footwear they're terrible.
