After reading the reviews of the various low-cut white socks available on Amazon, I decided to try these Hanes, as it appeared that they were the best of a bad lot. They're not really terrible or anything, but they are thin and flimsy (and they look it, so you're not going to win any style points in them). They also tend to make my feet get hot, particularly under my heels. I don't know if this is because they're so thin that they don't insulate my skin from the shoe or because there's something excessively plastic about the fabric. As for the size, they seem to run a bit big: I wear a size 10 men's shoe, but these socks bulge out at the heel around my Achilles tendon--not a good look.
