So, I Bought Three Pair 6 Years Ago. They Were Not The Only Socks I Wore, But Before I Retired I Wore Boots For A Living. At Least 6 Days A Week And Many Sundays. I've Hiked In Them, Rode Horses In Them, Gone Sailing In Them And Worn Them To Church. They Are Not Too Thick To Wear With Dress Shoes, And They Are Long Enough To Prevent The Cursed Hairy Gap If I Cross My Legs. They Go Past The Chafing Edge Of 12" Rubber Boots On A Boat They Make Getting A Dress Riding Boot On With No Zip A Challenge, But They Are Nice When Riding In Cold Weather. I Put Them Under My Breeches Instead Of Over As They Will Slide Down And Bunch While Riding. I Like Hiking Socks That Hug My Instep And Do Not Bunch. If These Did That I'd Give Them 5 Stars. No Holes To The Toes, Just Getting Thread Bear Across The Top Of The Instep And Heel. I'm Buying More And Going To See How The Hikers Compare To The Ones At The Local Outfitter That Cost Twice As Much.
