I order these sox for my son.  He just got new steel toe work boots and thought these socks would be nice to go with them.  My 19 year old son never comments or cares about anything.  The first day all he said is "Mom, don't buy me any other kind of socks but these; they're wonderful!  My husband heard and told me to get him some of these socks.  They came last week and all I have heard is how wonderful these socks are.  Believe me if my two guys comment, then they're really good.
