I buy the Carhartt brand for work and play.. It is the longest lasting and most comfortable clothes I ever bought.. That is why I like this pair of socks most of all!!!! It is great for keeping your feet comfortable and cool at the same time, (they make the same thing in crew socks as well). It is well worth the money to buy them and watch how long they last, they even keep the color longer wash after wash.. Buy them and see what I mean.. You'll be hooked...
