I own two pairs of these socks, in the green color. They were given to me as a gift and now I wonder if I can ever return to athletic socks. My feet have never been uncomfortable when wearing these socks. They keep your feet incredibly dry -- even if you step in water they will dry out amazingly fast. They will also keep your feet at the perfect temperature. Simply: you will never have hot and sweaty OR cold and damp feet while wearing these socks. Furthermore, I have worn them at least once a week for the past year, and they show almost no sign of aging or wear and tear whatsoever. Definitely a great product.
