My daughter won't wear any socks but these. There was a break-in time she went through the first time I purchased them three years ago. Now when I buy new ones she puts them on and is off. After years of screaming and frustration these socks are a welcome addition her very limited wardrobe. I didn't purchase them here though. Therawear has them for less shipping than currently quoted here and you can get 2nds that have a slight color variation for less $ too.
