My son has tons of cotton socks that have lost color and shape and have shrunk.  These are a great find for long wearing, sturdy socks.  They do not fade or shrink or lose their shape.  Love the ease of ordering them here too!  Two thumbs and 10 toes up from our house!!  (PS he wears a size 13 shoe sometimes but this size fits him fine--you may want the larger size for a looser fit or for larger feet)
