These are my go-to socks! They are durable, they breathe well, are comfortable and are perfect for wearing around the house & outdoors with shoes. When I workout with pants these are definitely the socks I wear, but I also enjoy lounging around the house in them because they aren't overly warm. They also stay up quite well, but I don't end the day or workout with a huge red mark around the top of the sock. I'm now on my second set and am happy that my original set, after a fully year of use, are still holding up just fine. I'll continue to buy these and would eagerly recommend them over any other brand!
