I've been wearing these regularly to work for about two months now. They look nice and feel nice. They are the typical trousersock fabric - a stretchy nylon. They come to the knee and they stayed up well.

BUT, after only two months of regular wear and washing, all three pairs have holes and runs in the toe area. Any other pair of Gold Toe socks that have the actual gold-colored toe section have not gotten holes on me, ever. These socks do not have the gold-colored toe area and so I guess that really matters!
