I love toe socks as I wear flip flops a lot.  I had a pair of thin black socks that I was quite attached to and shocker!  One got lost in the dryer somewhere.  So I bought these to replace the ones I already had.  These are great so far, though they are the thickness of sport socks (my old ones were more of a heavy dress sock).  So just be prepared for a sport sock.  But as an unexpected benefit, being thicker, they keep my feet warmer!
