Holy Mother of Socks!, June 7, 2006
This review is from: Gold Toe Men's 12-Pack Black Fluffie Crew Socks (Apparel)
I bought a 12 pack of these black "Gold Toe" socks on August 2nd 2K5. Let that sink in for a moment. Here is a guy who bought socks TEN months ago, and went through his Amazon history to track down this product.
The fabric of the socks is a very thin material. Which I guess is pretty standard for black socks.
However, these Gold Toes develop holes at an alarming rate. I have thrown 9 (out of 24) socks in the garbage because of holes or tears. While the Gold Toe corporation might interject "Hey, thats not even 33%!", what they didn't realize is I only wear black socks 1 day a week!
Time for some math!
40 uses / 12 pair = 3.3 washes to failure
Can that be right? I'll be the first to admit I have no idea what the average life expectancy of a sock is, but it has to be greater than 3 washes to be worth purchasing.

Not the best socks, but a good value, August 15, 2005
This review is from: Gold Toe Men's 12-Pack Black Fluffie Crew Socks (Apparel)
I rate socks on three points, comfort, durability, and staying up. These socks are quite comfortable even after multiple washings. I expect them to be durable as well. The elastic does only an average job of preventing slipping.
