I have serious foot issues, and I have tried many new socks, including many from Footsmart.  I have ordered these socks for about two years and they are far and away the most comfortable for me.  I was NOT HAPPY today when I called to order more, and found out that they have discontinued the color Black.  That is the basic  color that I need, to wear with slacks and black shoes!  For my review answers, these are socks (not shoes!)  but I still rate them 5 Stars.
