Fantastic deal, comfy, and durable
These are the crew version of the ankle socks I bought last year. As they are mostly cotton, they don’t hold odor and they do breathe. Because they are black, they pretty much go with everything we wear. I bought myself the ankle version for casual wear and wearing around the house to keep my feet clean and warm in winter and cool enough in summer. They are easy to change if they get dirty and very inexpensive, so they work for me if my son hasn’t done the floors as that’s his chore. Also, they work well inside winter slipper socks that you don’t want to wash every single day. They wash up very well. I’ve used mine heavily and haven’t gotten any holes or had any problems with them at all. I even use a very clean one for a sleep mask as it tucks softly and smoothly under my CPAP mask, unlike the masks you buy for darkness. They are easy to put in and take off and I always have a bunch of them on hand so can use a fresh one daily if I want. They fit my narrow feet very comfortably and also fit my tall son’s medium feet comfortably. So, they are a real bargain for us. We have enough of the ankle socks that we could share, as we do laundry a couple of times a week, but my son prefers the crew style, so that’s why I bought these for him. His old black crew socks of another brand had holes and also were rough so wore through the lining of his running shoes. With these crew socks in his new shoes, he’s seeing no abrasion inside his new running shoes at all. We do need to put heel pads into the shoes, but the same is true for my shoes as y heels slip too, but these socks have never worn through any running shoe linings for me.I highly recommend them. Gildan has some really good deals in sturdy, inexpensive T-shirts, socks, and other all-cotton or mostly cotton casual items. When all of our clothing was destroyed by smoke so we had to replace everything, I initially literally just bought cotton T-shirts, sweats, socks, and knit shorts we could share (loose on me) plus jeans for him and a few presentable slightly more formal items for me. Despite later buying more trendy items for my son, he still wears the Gildan T’s, sweats, socks, and other items as a preference for work, lounging and chores at home, etc. So, they have really been great for us. I’d like to also point out that we learned that when we tried to use some of the smoke-damaged household items, the non-cotton clothes we bought all ended up ruined as they absorbed smells we didn’t think were still in the damaged items. The Gildan cotton and mostly cotton items, however, could be completely freshened with hot water washing and hot drying. No special care was needed and they smell perfectly fresh. I only wash knit items with other knit items but I do use hot water and normal agitation for anything my son has worn to work or doing yard work and they hold up really well. Eventually, they will slightly fade but that’s after many hot washes in normal agitation.Because they are so inexpensive and wear so well with zero holes after a year, I feel this is a really smart purchase to avoid waste and save money. I know that cotton can be criticized, but when you factor in how they don’t hold onto toxic chemicals when washed and dried in hot water and don’t hang on to stinky working man smells either, don’t have any holes after tons of wear, etc., they seem pretty green to me. I also like the idea of getting the same socks for everyone so we don’t waste time sorting and end up with orphan socks. So much easier and less wasteful. So long as they are sanitized between uses and nobody has any nasty foot diseases, it works. I do tend to wash my clothes separately if I have enough for a load, so I do sometimes wash these on warm gentle, and they get very clean. When my son has worn them to work and for athletic and outdoor sports, hot water and drying is the way to go.

Great socks
Bought these for my son. He loves them. He needed black socks for work and these are very soft and durable. No white doesn’t match and they get dirty. These are great pair of socks and there’s enough for a whole week to wear them and then end and then wash and wear again.

Great Socks!
These socks are super soft and hold their shape well. My husband wanted something heavy enough to be warm but not so heavy that it would make his shoes tight. These did the trick. I would purchase them again.

Sock weren’t in a bag
These socks were the correct color but they are actually a gift and came loose in the Amazon bag. No bag and No brand name on the socks should be Gildan brand. Hopefully they’ll last for gift recipient. And hopefully these are the socks as described on the website. Not excited about the presentation of the packaging of these socks.

Just all cotton
My husband loves these socks, they don’t have that mesh in them and that’s what he likes the best about them.

All good
Perfect for summer and workouts. Comfy. Airy enough with my mesh sneakers (NB 574 Core) in the summer. Decently economical, considering.

They added an elastic structure around the foot
So these now have a ribbed section between the toes and heel that hugs that section kind of tightly. I think this is what some reviewers are responding to in their negative reviews and calling these tight.To be fair, that new feature does make the fit feel tighter than the last Gildan socks I got.I think it’ll take some getting used to. These are not going to feel as comfortable to those with wider feet. I think it’ll work ok for me but I wasn’t expecting this change. I thought the socks would be like the last batch I purchased.

Decent for the price
These socks are fairly decent for low cost tube socks. They are not thick, but if you’re looking for low cost white socks, these may be it. They may run a little small and go up about 6 inches beyond my ankle.

Top of the sock is almost too snug around the calf
Update: 2/19/21 – I wear these socks about 16 hours a day as ‘slippers’ in my retirement. I’ve worn and washed the first 10 pairs 11 times now. Five individual socks have worn holes in the heel, which is pretty normal wear for me. They are very snug for my size 14 extra wide feet and tight on the calf, but because of that tightness they stay up all day without cutting off circulation. They’re kind of still cushiony even after the 11 washings.October 2020 – I’ve been buying Gildan crew socks size 13-15 for years, but they are really hard to find now. I’ve tried other brands, but they just aren’t large enough – either to get around my heel or not really made for my size 14 feet. I assumed these socks were the usual Gildan crew socks I normally get even though they didn’t have the grey toes and heel. They are different, but they are comfortable. The top of the sock really hugs my 17″ calf a little snugger than I prefer, but the blood isn’t getting cut off. I washed a pair before trying on more and they didn’t shrink too much. While they’re not as comfy as my old Gildan, I decided to live with these. I bought my ‘test’ batch before Prime Day, but noticed they had them on sale during Prime Day and bought 5 more 10-packs. We’ll see about the next test – wear and tear.

These socks are a bit thin , and can be a little slippery if wearing sandals
These socks are a bit thin , and can be a little slippery if wearing sandals. Its the material , but Its good for airflow. I was looking for a thicker set of socks , but for now these will do.

Cotton socks for older man’s large feet!
My husband has tried many different socks which claim to stretch to fit and are a moisture wicking product; however, these socks can truly be described as such. These socks fit my husband’s large, bunion-cursed feet! Thank You. He is at once comfortable!

Thicc
These socks are comfy. They shed a lot at first. I wish they weren’t so thick because my feet run hot. I wouldn’t recommend these for spring or summer if you have hot feet.

Excellence at its highest level
Finally a good sock! It is impossible to find good socks now a days. Everything is too thin or tight or makes you sweat like crazy. Not only do these fit perfectly, but they are insanely soft and very breathable. No more hot feet with these socks. Gildan once again destroys Hanes with these socks, it’s not even close how much better these are than anything Hanes has to offer. Great job Gildan

Good quality, nice fit, but not real high top
While a very finely constructed sock, with nice fit, I feel the height on ankle is more like a street sock than an athletic or boot sock. This is not a negative, just a caveat — I tend to like a higher rise sock, but will wear these often (but less likely in cold weather.)

GOOD SOCKS AT A DECENT PRICE
These socks have long been a favorite of mine. the gray color is a nice compromise between black socks which make me sweat and the garish look of white socks. I have had them for years, they were finally wearing out, and the dollar stores I used to buy them at stopped carrying them. So I was delighted to find them at Amazon! Long wearing and a good fit.

Good but A LOT of lint
These socks are good, warm, true to size and pretty comfortable. However, the amount of lint is just strange, definitely most of any socks I’ve ever had.

unless you like cheap socks (just like their shirts) spend a couple extra bucks on quality socks. quality socks last longer and are more comfortable

The one thing that need to change in these socks.
Most all socks have a band at the top and they cord my legs. These socks i cut the band off . They stay up on my legs and don’t unravel .

Great fit
The color of the wock was a crispy white. I liked how well they were packaged and the socks fit well. I like how they have a compression feel on my feet. The material is also sturdy and washes well ( I use bleach with my whites).

The tax was supposed to be 100% cotton and they are not
They are much too tight and scratchy on my feet. I also thought they would be much thinner than they are.

Comfy Everyday Socks
These socks have become my daily essentials! Not only are they incredibly comfortable for everyday wear, but the fact that they’re made from cotton adds a breathable quality that I truly appreciate. It’s the perfect blend of comfort and practicality. If you’re looking for socks that keep your feet happy all day, these are a solid choice!
