GOLDTOEMen's Fluffies Casual Crew SocksOEKO-TEX STANDARD 100

Gold Toe is the Gold Standard for casual and dress socks. White Gold Toe Fluffies are my go to socks with khakis and shorts. Black ones for my dressier days. Good thickness, soft fabric, absorbent and cushioning, snug but never tight, washable and long lasting. Once you go Gold Toe, you'll never go back to the generic plastic elastic socks on the bargain rack. Why buy cheap socks that end up in the back of the drawer and and don't get worn? The socks with the greatest value are the ones you actually wear. Go the extra dollar with Gold Toe that you will definitely always find yourself reaching for when its time to don the foot gear and head outside.

Third time buying them. Great combo of fluffy yet look like a dress sock.

Like the fluffy socks. The size is as described. I am on the edge of the medium and the large. I tried the large and they were too large the medium seem to be a better choice for being on the edge of the size.

Like Gold Toe socks. Just wish they lasted longer than 4 - 6 mo

So, as a quick look through the reviews of these socks will reveal, there was a point where Gold Toe was going through a dark phase and failing to produce quality socks. Many of the Fluffies from this era (let's call it 2009-2013) would start falling apart almost immediately, with large threads coming loose and significant holes opening up for no reason (other than the shoddy quality of the materials and workmanship). It was a somber time for those of us that had come to know and love the Gold Toe Fluffie, which is probably alone among dress socks in providing a nice balance of comfort, warmth, dryness, breathability, and sharp looks.The conspicuous decline in quality led to Gold Toe being banished by several department stores that had carried them for decades: they refused to foist defective crap on their customers. That's why so many of the other reviewers have found these socks hard to find in their brick-and-mortar stores.For a while, I sought a replacement brand, but no other could match the Fluffies: the competitors' thicker socks were often too heavy and trapped moisture; others were too thin and provided no impact cushioning or protection from cold and snow. In despair, I tried ordering from Amazon and hoped for the best.It worked out. Gold Toe has heard our complaints and responded -- the socks are now well-built and reliable. I waited for some time (and numerous washings) to see if these would begin falling apart as their slightly older siblings had, but they have held up admirably.You may order in confidence.

After opening the package I didn't think my husband would like these because they were a little thinnner than what he normally wears. But I was wrong! He said these are actually more comfortable than the other brand he'd been wearing for years... and this is a man who doesn't like change. So yes will definitely be ordering more.

GREAT QUALITY

My husband likes these socks which he finds warmer than others during the winter months. The quality is not as good as it used to be. Much thinner.
