I bought these tube socks for my husband after being sick and tired of the quick to thin & easily stretched out Hanes tube socks. After reading the rave reviews, I bought a few packs for him to try. He wears either steel toed or hiking boots so his socks take a bit of a beating. These socks by Wigwam are really something else! They are cushy but not overly so where they would be considered hot or overly thick. They're well made and so far, after 4 months use, they haven't stretched out crazily. They are a bit stretched, but we are talking about a 1/2" difference between socks vs. actual inches with Hanes. My husband, who's of average size, really likes them. He says they're comfortable and they stay up without any bunching. From my domestic point of view, they are easy to clean and I haven't noticed any pilling as of yet. I recommend them to anyone thinking of making a change with their hard to find tube socks.
