I received these socks today, and when I pulled them from the packaging, I thought, Wow!, these are good looking socks, they look durable and looks like they'll last a long time, and with the name, Gold Toe, I know that I have a lasting pairs of socks. I love the colors and will definitely buy more in different colors. I really love the idea that they came in their original packaging with the Gold Toe label. These socks look durable enough to withstand their first washing before worn; I'll let you guys know.
