These socks are nice, however they got fuzzy and a bit pilly after 2 washes with Tide. No holes or anything like that. I mainly use these socks for every day wear to the office (I hate long socks). I try to alternate wearing them and wear them all evenly.

I also bought a pair of Puma socks at the C wharehouse which don't have such a problem with the cotton. I alternate socks.

These are good workout socks if you like to have dedicated socks for activities (do people do that?). I would go with the puma gray and black.
