What in the world happened to the sizing of Hanes socks?? I usually replace a set of socks once every 5 years, so this is eye-opening for me. Somehow these are just too darn tight. I am a size 12 and these should technically fit, no problem. I knew right when i opened the package that something didn't look right. While they are thick enough and the material seems like it will last another 5 years, i'm now doubting that i will be able to wear them at all seeing my toes are snugged together. There's absolutely no need for this. I like to have just enough material on the sock to pull it up to the back of the shoe, as to not get blisters. These socks will not give me that protection. 3 stars is generous for these. The thick material is what saved it from a lower rating.
