Gold Toe Men's Cotton Crew Big and Tall Athletic Sock, Black, 6-Pack

They're reasonably long (but not as long as the Gold Toe ones with a single gold stripe across the toe that I found at WalMart), comfortable, retain their color after many washings, BUT they fluff a LOT. I've had them for over a year and STILL get big chunks of fluff stuck under my toes and on the soles of my feet when I take them off at the end of the day. You would think they'd stop doing that after the first few washings, but no. I don't think I'd buy them again knowing this. But there's not many options if you want big & tall socks.

The product arrived in a timely fashion. I am pleased with the quality of the product. My only negative comment, is that I wish the heel of the sock was better protected. But they did last for a good amount of time.

Due to a relative lack of cushioning on the bottom the sock is only OK for hoops. The large size is better than the head extra cushioning sock I normally use. Head sock has significantly more cushioning but is too small for my size 13 feet.

A guy needs socks on a regular basis, and when I need a few, I tend to be at the point of all my socks being worn nearly through. A few of these (two dozen pairs) and I'm set for a few more years. Plus, as you'd expect from a company willing to put a brand-marking like gold-threaded toes, they stand out, and their quality is worth of a good impression. Discussing socks too much is like discussing what colour to paint a bike shed, but good socks, good mood.

Gold Toe - always great when you can find the larger sizes in all cotton (or wool). They wear well & feel good on.
True crew lenghth, not over the calf.
