Carhartt Men's Midweight Cotton Blend Quarter Sock 3 Pack

These socks were purchased for by fiancé. He lives themThey do not shrink and they keep their shape. They stay plush and comfortable. They are stick thick after many washings. The compression feels great! And his feet are not moist after he takes them off. I even wear them once in awhile lol!

If you are looking for indestructible socks then these are not for you. Those would probably have to be made almost entirely out of Twaron, Kevlar, Ballistic Nylon, and HDPE fibers - and they would cost as much as their weight in diamonds. But would probably not be very comfortable to wear on your feet.I never owned anything from the Carhartt company/brand until 2012, when I needed work gloves for a specific purpose and the company I worked for had catalogs of this brand lying around. It is enough to say that I spent at least 50% of my work time then on my feet and would frequently end up in/near places where something was being built - and frequently had to wear steel toe shoes and other PPE(personal protective equipment). The usual "designer brands" are just not designed for that kind of work.My problem has always been that my "designer" socks turn into rags within a month if I wear them all the time(especially when I wear them at work). So I had to buy dozens of pairs of those socks. The common problem is that a sock would get holes near the back(heel) of the sock and near the front(toes) because the fiber/fabric would wear away(layer by layer) too easily(and quickly) around those areas and eventually rip. Some have limited reinforcement near the front or the back but not over a large surface area.The extra reinforcement of the above areas is why I bought these Carhartt Quarter Socks(and the similar and longer Carhartt Crew Work Socks).The Positive:+ All colors are mostly Cotton.+ I have used these socks since January 2018 and all are still intact.+ I normally wear size 10.5 and 11 men's shoes, these socks(size "L" 6-12) feel neither too small nor too large even after being washed multiple times.+ These socks are mostly made from cotton so I don't feel any irritation and my feet don't get too warm or sweaty(but it is still Winter in my area).+ Comfortable to wear in cool temperatures but I wear longer socks for really cold freezing temperatures.The Negative:- The top stretch fabric portion(neck?) is not nearly as long as it is in the picture. So I don't wear Winter boots with these socks on. But this works better for warmer weather.- Even after several months these socks still shed significant material(lint) on my feet.- Feet/legs may get cold if temperatures drop below freezing.- (For the nitpicker)The reinforced heel area could feel uncomfortable for some when standing up for a long time.I have ordered more and I plan to wear these during the warmer/hot months of the year(the longer crew socks work better for boots and colder temperatures). I only bought the socks(black or grey) that have nylon reinforcement(I think simple polyester in the white socks will wear out faster). So far so good.

They look and feel good, I was a little surprised. Size large is correct, I'm a men's size 9-9.5 shoe and a little big but it's fine. With the 27% poly, they might be a little warm during a hot summer day. Overall satisfied.

These socks fit well and are durable (with regard to elasticity and degredation of the soles).I wear size 9-10 shoes, 9 being absolutely the smallest I can go. I like socks to be snug, but not tight. These socks are an ideal fit for me. The soles provide some cushion and are more padded than most basic socks. The material is not super soft but I would never even think to call it uncomfortable. The socks are not very elastic, the material generally doesn't stretch a lot. These socks are not thick (Not to the point where they cushion your feet like a wool sock), they will not keep your feet warm when it is cold outside, I usually wear a second pair when it is very cold. They are not overly hot during summer monthsI have worn these socks for approximately 2 years and the first pairs that I bought have loosened slightly compared to the newer pairs I have but the difference is not very noticeable. Note that if these fit you tightly they may stretch more than in my experience.My other pairs of black socks were either too loose and would slip down or too tight and would leave my legs with impressions. These socks after 2 years still fit well and do not slip.The material they are made of is far more durable than any of my other socks, I walk around my house in socks most of the time and the soles of these socks are far from worn as many of my other pairs are. With these socks I see much less "lint rolls" than other socks I've owned. (I am referring to bits of the cotton that roll up around the soles from repeated scraping against surfaces which eventually lead to the soles wearing out). The older socks have faded a little bit to a more dull black.I wear these mostly in tennis shoes and dress shoes, rarely in boots. I don't believe I put huge stress on my socks compared to many people but these have absolutely without a doubt held up better than any pair of hanes, nike, or addidas socks that I have owned and used for the same duration.

good thin sock, no complaints

Look, I just got these so I can’t obviously speak to their long term durability. Besides that, everyone has different expectations, like somehow a pair that comes in a pack of three for $12:should wear and last the same as a single pair that costs $15. I got these because I wear a size 14 show and can never find a good size when I go to the store. I like quarter socks, especially when I’m wearing a high top/hiker/work boot. The elastic at the top of crew socks can be too tight on a big man. I’m just looking for a quality sock in the right size for everyday use, which may include 20,000 step days, without spending $15 a pair. This seems to fit the sweet spot. Good comfortable socks. Nice thickness. The size is great (I got XL). Are these the same as Darn Tough or Wright Socks? No. Do they give better value for the money? Looks like it right now. Are they better than buying a pack of Hanes size 10-13 (and I generally like Hanes) at the store? Absolutely. Will I purchase these socks again. As of now, I’m definitely planning on it.
