I purchased these Adidas Metro soccer socks because I like to wear two pairs of socks when I play to keep my shin guards in place and also to prevent blisters from my cleats. I had a few pairs of Adidas Copa socks which are nicer, thicker, and more flashy due to the three stripes and embroidered Adidas logo, but I needed a few more pairs of socks to be the "under" pair. If you wear a single pair of socks I would recommend the Copas, but if you're like me and wear two pair at once, save a few dollars and couple a Copa with a Metro sock.

My son tried these socks on briefly when they arrived. I must admit I didn't look very closely; just wanted to make sure they fit. When it came time to play soccer, he took them out and there was a big section of one foot that had unraveled. At first we thought a rodent or dog was to blame; on closer inspection, though, it became clear that the product had just come undone. A big disappointment--and a real pain in the neck, since I had ordered them from Amazon (via Prime shipping) to avoid going back to our local sports store. Needless to say, we had to make an emergency dash over there...

This is a fine pair of socks. I purchased them for my husband, who needed a new pair of red socks for Christmas time. These are red, comfortable, and so they fit the bill.

I expect that these socks should last a season, as they appear to be of average quality. The manufacturer's list price on the item is $6.00, yet Amazon's advertised price I paid is $7.00! Why not sell out the old stock at the suggested lower price, and then sell newer stock at a higher suggested price? I expect (and usually receive) value from Amazon, but not for this purchase. An item with a manufacturer's list price of $6.00 should not be sold for $7.00 on this web site.

A simple soccer sock with a good, snug fit and clean design (no visible logos). A good deal for $6. Didn't have any of the unraveling issues the other reviewer did.
