I needed to replace some of my old athletic socks and have heard good things about Dockers clothing brand from some of my friends and extended family so I figured I would give these socks a try. I love them!!! I was a little surprised by the other reviews I had read on these socks being too thin, not holding up during washing, and being too tight around the ankles. I have not had these experiences and am very very pleased with these socks! These are the most comfortable socks I have ever worn and am now thinking of replacing all of my socks with Dockers brand socks. I have gotten these socks dirty and washed them they held up very well and have always come out of the wash looking brand new. I will defiantly be replacing my socks with these and I will be looking more closely to the Dockers brand for future clothing purchases. Without a doubt 5 out of 5 stars!
