I ordered a pair of Laurel Burch socks about a year ago and LOVED them!! Still do!  They have endured the wear and tear marvelously!  I always got compliments on my socks of all things!  So in usual form, I loaded up on about 3 more pairs.  This one...my favorite because of the large dog picture...I wore only twice and ended up with a hole in the toe.  A big hole.  So now I am wary to buy any more.  I was very disappointed, and wish Miss Laurel would send me another pair to keep her conscience clear.
