Fruit of the LoomMen's Dual Defense Crew Socks (12 Pack)

Great value and qty. Very soft,Stretched just righr

At 85 cents/pr, this 12-pack is a great bargain. The socks themselves are 98% polyester, 2% spandex. I find the high % polyester socks to be MUCH more comfortable than the high % cotton socks. So, I always avoid the 100% cotton socks, and I only buy socks that have at minimum 60% polyester. (Socks can be made of all sorts of combinations of fabrics.)These socks fit very well (my shoe size is usually size 9.5 or 10, sometimes 10.5, depending on the brand). They are not too tight or too loose. They stay up on my calf (I hate when socks are loose and fall down to my ankles while walking.) They definitely do not cut off circulation around the ankle or calf. They are easy to slip on.Thickness: These have an adequate thickness for everyday wear. If 5 is "very thick" ( skiiing, snowmobiling, hunting, etc) and 1 is "very thin" (dress socks), then these are a 2 or 3 (leaning to the 3). I have some socks that I would rate as a "4" -- but these tend to be too thick for everyday wear, and also too tight. So, these FOL socks fall well within the acceptable range of thickness for everyday wear with casual shoes or sneakers.I can't say how well they will wash, or how long they will last. I suspect that the weak point will be similar to other socks, in that that they will form holes due to wear at the balls of my feet. (I hate holes on the bottom of my socks -- that is when I throw them out.) But, it remains to be seen. I hope to update this review after 6 months or so.

They are as socks should be

I got my money's worth

I'm writing a review about socks. Why? Because they're fantastic at the end of a work day being in boots all day. We all know that terrible feeling of peeling socks off and or it imprints on your calves and ankles. Fit - great. Dryness - stratospheric. Strength and durability - washer machines and work doesn't destroy them

Great

I was amazed that I could get high quality socks this cheaply, but I did. Twelve pairs of nice socks for a little over a dollar a pair- I was amazed! They are Fruit of the Loom socks, they feel great, are so comfortable too!! My husband was so happy with them, and I plan on ordering them every time we need more socks- which is all the time!! Take a look at the photo I took of one pair. All twelve are the same.The only thing I didn't like was that they are held together inside their bag by a slim plastic strip. Be careful when you take it out, if you just rip it out, you will snag some socks. But it's no big deal if you do- just giving you a warning if you want to keep them perfect.

Not quite size 14, fits, but the heel cup is not quite on the corner of my heel, needs to be pulled to stretch to fitting correctly. Oh well, the trials and tribulations of having 14eeee. I bought large FOTL and Hanes, Hanes fit correctly, but was cheaper fabric, FOTL had a higher quality but was small.
