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.

I ripped three new sox in a week. Tears right below the ankle. poor craftsmanship and material. Does anyone have a suggestion for a great pair of sox?

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.

Bought 4 pairs, all have holes within 8 months. Completely ridiculous considering the 'premium' price. They used to be much better, I've bought them off and on for 15 years, but no more.

I have brought many Gold Toe socks before and they have always stand up to wear and wash better than the other makes and these are no exception. At the price I paid there is no reason to not buy.

Tried these and then sent them back. They will not stay up, they end up around your ankle. When washed they shrunk almost 20% in length. Also they "Are Not" Fluffie, not even a little bit. They were not worth the special low price.

Excellent price for excellent item. My husband loves these because they are dressy enough for work but much more cushioned than the thin nylon socks. They are light enough to be able to be work year round as well.
