Holes on first wearing
While I loved the benefits of these socks while walking a 1600 km camino, I was VERY disappointed in the quality of the toe area. For long distance hikes I buy my shoes a size larger and keep toenails trimmed. However, I found a hole in the toe at my first wearing. Each subsequent time I wore them, I found another hole. I sewed them up each time, but after a few weeks, they were too uncomfortable to wear with all of the mending. Also, for long distance runs or hikes, they are terrible on the stinko factor. My feet aren't smelly, but probably because of the synthetic materials that are needed for compression, these socks really held the sweat and bacteria and really stunk after a days wearing.
