I was getting really tired of wearing socks from the Big box stores (Walmart, Target, Old-Navy). My problems with them were mostly the same. After awhile they would keep falling down my leg. The elastic wasn't strong or wore out fast. When I first saw these on Amazon, I remember my father had these many years ago when I was a child. He never said if he liked them or not. From the second I opened the box and felt these socks, I knew these weren't the crappy socks I'm used to. They are very soft, comfortable and never fall down my leg. And the price is not so bad either. The only reason I posted this review is in response to the guy that said they were scratchy and felt like velcro. There could be nothing further from the truth! I also have sweaty feet and although my feet still sweat in these socks they don't seem to smell bad at the end of the day. Sorry too much information!
