I have to say I was completley surprised by this product. I read the reviews and they sure looked real convincing. I'm guessing the people who wrote these reviews don't work seriously hard jobs, or walk on soft surfaces. Who knows maybe some walk on concrete. I work in the oil field where the ground is uneven all the time (we walk on scorio, which is hard red rock), the boots I wear are among top of the line, Redwing. I've had these socks for a few week and my wife noticed there's a whole in one of them. Are you kidding me, I can buy a whole 6-8 pack for the same price that would last MUCH longer. I'll never buy another pair of socks that carry the label "Wigwam". If you need a serious pair of socks..don't get these.
