I bought these as a gold box sale item. I figured they sounded great. Now that I've had a chance to wear them a bit, these are my thoughts. They are very comfortable, so that is a plus. However, i found that they are also very slippery in my shoes. I wear a variety of footware, from running shoes and basketball shoes to kitchen clogs, and regardless of how well the shoes fit, i found my feet sliding around a bit. The end result was in fact blisters. Although my feet were dry as advertised, they were unstable, and the blisters were more from rubbing than anything else. I give these three stars overall, as the slipperiness has worn out a bit as they've been through a few more wash cycles, and they are comfortable, but i don't know if they were worth the $24 gold box price, and i definitely wouldn't pay $44 for them.

Update: After a month or so, these socks lost their slickness (?word). They are now simply some super comfy socks. I still would never pay the $44 or so for 4 pair, but if you find them at around $30 or less, i would recommend snatching them up. Just give them a chance to be broken in a bit.
