My husband is on his feet all day at work, and thin dress-socks just don't offer enough cushioning. These are amazing. He's noticed a huge difference, and loves them. He has size 13 1/2 feet, and 'normal' size socks just wear out so fast...from not fitting properly. These are awesome, if a tiny bit big...for the extra sizing for those with larger feet. These go in the dryer easily and hold their shape wash after wash. Will definitely buy more!
