These are quality cotton socks that work well for sports.  My son likes crew socks that he can pull up or push down depending on what he wears.  They are the perfect height.

The knit is tighter than the usual Hanes socks.  The elastic is well constructed, and will last a long time.

They are more expensive than socks one could buy at a cheaper department store.  However, the build quality and the quality of the fabric is worth it.  Wash after wash, the socks stretch back to shape.  They shrink a bit in the dryer, but not excessively.  The colors always return to the original bright white.  I love that.

My criticism is that the heel of the sock tends to wear out quicker than I would expect for expensive socks like these.  The rest of the sock is still in very good condition when the heels wear out, which is a shame.  Perhaps my son is very hard on his clothes (definitely a possibility), but when I pay so much for socks, I'd like them to last.
