I have worn these socks for years.  In the past they have proven to be well made and long lasting. With this purchase I doubt that trend will continue. Of the six pairs of socks in the package, one sock had the elastic band at top of the sock missed with the stitch so the elastic is loose and two other socks came with small holes at the heal that after a few washings will most certainly enlarge and be useless. It is a shame that the quality of these socks has dropped so significantly.
