MIRMARU Men's 5 Pairs Multi Performance Outdoor Sports Hiking Trekking Crew Socks

Very comfortable. Haven’t own them long enough to tell how long they would last. By the feel I think these are the best socks I have ever had!I paid more for socks that were not as comfortable.

I always wore white, athletic, crew socks, and then I realized that when coupled with a pair of cargo pants, or even a pair of blue jeans it looked really awkward to see blinding white socks between a pair of dark pants and dark shoes. Yes, yes... I'm well aware of my fashion faux pas, but finally got around to wearing holes in my white socks enough to warrant buying a whole new drawer full of fresh socks. I had, however, a bit of a search criteria for the socks I was going to order. They needed to come in enough colors to go with my different pants colors (specifically, black, olive, blue, and brown). They needed to be crew size. They needed to be slightly on the thicker side without being hot. With all of that decided, I searched out my options without bias of pre-disposition. I then found the Mirmaru M205's.Pre-Purchase:I liked several things about these socks from the start; they came in all the colors I wanted and more, I liked the pattern they had rather than being a solid, boring color, and I liked that they had good reviews from previous customers. About the only thing I didn't like was the pre-packaged options. Since I wanted black, blue, green, and brown I would have liked something more along with those colors grouped together, but I ended up selecting the 2 Black, 2 Gray, 1 Olive pack, and the Olive, Purple, Blue, Brown, and Red pack. Who knows... maybe one day I'd love owning a pair of bright red socks?Arrival:The socks arrived quickly, were as ordered, and were each banded together inside a larger plastic bag. I pulled out a pair and slipped them on to check the fit, and immediately got a sense of their thickness as well as fit. The "tube" of the sock was snug enough on my leg to feel like they'd stay up, though the elastic or rubber holding the absolute top of the cuff was a bit on the tight side. The "compression" ring around the arch of your foot wasn't too tight - which is good for me. When those get too tight I find them a bit uncomfortable and almost hot on the foot. ...and I thought the pattern in person was way cool - especially seeing it on your foot.After Several Wearings:The socks are great. Though they do thicken up after washing, I don't find them too thick or hot to wear on most any occasion. Not that they'd be your go-to pick in the summer, but I'd imagine hot days might prove too much for these socks as they are somewhere on the warmer side than the cooler side. I have size 13 feet, and I found these socks to be a delightful fit - almost tailored to my feet. I've also found that in spite of the gray pattern on them, when exposed while I'm siting or crossing my legs, the gray at the heel only just shows over the cuff of my shoe.5 of 5 Stars:Why five stars? Fit, color options, and thus far, durability. There's no loose strings, no seems poking or rubbing, no shrinking, or loosening, and the color seems to be holding up. Have I put the miles on these socks? No, not yet, but from what I've worn they have been holding up quite well. I gave them 5 of 5 stars because of all my needs, they have met them all. I can wear these socks with my regular, day to day clothes, and wear them in the mountains while hiking or working. Finally, for the product I've received, I've found them to be a surprising value.

These are thick, warm, and lasted about 2 years wearing them 2 winter seasons (heels started getting holes. Great product.

Husband wears these for hunting and cold weather wear.

I'm buying again for sure!

I'm one of those people whose feet are BRUTAL on any and all footwear... socks, shoes, sandals, boots... you name it. These socks are proper workhorses. They've outlasted any socks I've ever owned, they're comfortable, think but not too think, breathable and they keep my feet DRY. I wear them for everything, I even have shoes that dig into my heels with other socks but not with these.Normally, socks I wear have a lifespan of about 3 mos and I finally wore a hole in one of the socks of the 6 pairs I bought after two and a half years of constant use. Most socks like this cost as much for one pair as these cost for 6... incredible value. These will be the only socks I buy for as long as this company is in business.

i spend an inordinate amount of time in my basement, which is always chilly to cold year-round. these socks made it so i didn't need to wear multiple pairs of socks to keep my feet at a comfy temp. mission accomplished!

I work from home and use a walking treadmill. I average about 5 hours of walking a day or 15 miles 5-7 days a week. I would consider this on the more extreme end of heavy duty walking.These socks are the best so far for holding up to this amount of walking. I have bought 2 sets and have had maybe 3 socks total blow out... which is incredible given that I first bought this socks 3 years ago. I even have transitioned out old "boot socks" for these as they provide amazing cushion. When paired with a good insole your legs will feel the fatigue before your feet do. The socks are simply the best I've found so far.Not a knock, but my only issue is that when it's summer and I walk inside, the socks are very warm from the ankles up. I'd love to find a no show version of these socks for the summer to help regulate heat. They are also a bit tight even on a fit person which makes bunching the sock down towards the shoe a little uncomfortable. This isn't a knock on the sock at all, but simply an acknowledgement that this sock is not the right sock for every condition. Come winter though, this is all that I want to wear.
