This is essentially the same sock JC Penny carried for years, but is now discontinued. The last pair I purchased was on close-out about a year ago. The only problem with these is as the prior reviewer noted with the binding top ring of the sock. A long time ago I figured out that simply cutting off the top 1/8" solves this problem of binding and doesn't cause any unraveling with the JC Penny socks. We'll try the same with these and see if it works as well, as I anticipate it will. Great socks then for years of wear.
