Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

We use Hanes ankle length socks over the summer & we really liked them. As the weather got colder & we switched to long pants & my search for Hanes crew socks found these. The pros: + Low cost of $12.54 with free Amazon shipping when I bought a 12 pack. + Pretty good customer product reviews. + Advertised - soft cotton blend - cotton/polyester/natural latex rubber/nylon. + Advertised - classic crew socks each featuring ribbed leg, comfort-toe seam, and cushioned sole. + Advertised - Fresh IQ advanced odor protection technology. The cons: - VERY thin, too thin in my opinion, but my son likes these. They're comfortable, but my feet get cold wearing these around the house! - Socks washed once in the washing machine are covered with "fluff balls"... also called "pilling"! - Advertised - 54% Polyester,42% Cotton,3% Rubber,1% Nylon. ◄ Much less cotton in these socks, compared to the Hanes ankle length socks we wore over the warmer months. - Advertised - imported. ◄ For those that prefer to buy products made in the USA. Closing remarks: ▪ There's no way I'm going to wash these by hand & as bad as they look after one machine washing, odds are pretty good I won't be buy any more of these socks! ► Update November 25, 2017 ▪ These are looking pretty ratty after a few machine washing cycles. They are completely functional, but totally covered in "fluff balls"... also called "pilling"!, They're now in the "Give Back Box" ready to be donated. ▪ To replace these socks, I went with these which have 76% cotton, 22% polyester: Fruit Of The Loom Men's 6 Pack Heavy Duty Reinforced Crew Socks, Grey, Shoe Size 6-12/Sock Size 10-13
