I like the height of these socks (because I can tuck my pants into them and keep off any ticks). I also appreciate the gentle pressure they provide supporting the arch, the perfect amount of cushioning on the bottom, and the reinforced heel. It's also great that there is no irritating toe seam. These are now my go-to socks for everyday and for fieldwork. They hold up to a day of walking around in hiking boots or steel-toed boots. While not everyone may like the neutral colors, I also REALLY appreciate that aspect. I don't need neon, eye-burning colors on my socks, thank you very much! :)
