Smells a little funky, but overall a good deal, February 12, 2010
I am a pretty regular runner (50-60 miles/week) and my feet are always beat up from non-moisture wicking socks. I love the thin socks because they provide more ventilation for feet on long runs and don't cause your toes to squash up against the toebox of the running shoe (which can lead to blisters and black toenails). These socks were a pretty good value, so I purchased the 6-pack.
While overall I'm using them pretty regularly, I find that they didn't do as well at odor control as some bamboo socks I picked up at Dick's Sporting Goods. They smelled somewhat "synthetic" right out of the package, and with one run I noticed they were damp with a faint musty odor - which has never been a problem for me (just don't tend to have smelly feet). A little bit disappointed in their moisture-wicking ability. However, these issues seem to have lessened with a couple of washings.
Also, I do wish the cut were a bit lower (they kind of sit just at my ankle bone instead of being truly "no-show" - I'm a size 8-9 in running shoes).
Overall, this is a good value and a good product - just run the socks through the washer a couple of times before wearing.

Great product Good Bargain, October 1, 2011
I came upon these socks hours after purchasing same socks at a local store advertised as "buy two and get second pair half-price". It was the identical product. I purchased them and returned the others and Iwas able to buy two other items ,I'd been wanting, with (almost) the exact money I saved, plus free shipping. I gave it a five because I have been wearing this exact style and brand almost daily for two years. Good socks.

Comfy plain socks, September 27, 2011
They are not too tight and not too loose. Great plain regular socks. They do not rise too far up the ankle. For me it is a perfect fit and just what I was looking for.
