This was a surprisingly bad product. We bought this multi-color set of Nike socks for my son. Usually we love Nike socks. In this case, every pair ended up with holes in the heel, usually on the first wear. This happened with different footwear and on general days, not anything too intense. For instance, a day we were mostly at home, but he played around in the basement some. Or a day where we walked outside for about a mile. Both times, the socks ended up with large holes. I think we have only washed 1 pair 1 time, because most of the socks had holes upon the first wear. I don't even think we can return or exchange, because the first time it happened I had him throw the socks out, as I initially thought he had done something like played basketball outside in his socks (turns out, he did not do anything like that).

Macy’s online does not list precise percentages of fabric content for cotton blend socks. Consternating. Depending on white or color, these are: Fabric: 61-67% cotton/30-36% polyester/2% spandex/1% nylon.

The high cotton percentage on these Nike socks is substantially more than on other athletic socks. Competitor’s fabric composition is usually more polyester than cotton.

For some, including my teen son, the comfort and breathability of cotton is of primary importance, and over the years that we have purchased these, I have appreciated that they are fairly durable. Nike just raised the six-pairs bundle price by almost 30 percent but the quality remains.

If the sock bottoms were grey, they would be perfect.

As much as I love them for comfort and exercising. I work with them also and they are not fit for exercising if you do more than 3 hours of any type of workout daily and go to work (yes I did change them out and got the same results). They didn’t last one wash. They already started getting thinning and holes. That being said, they do look great with any shoe or slide. So if you’re only planning on wearing them for a “fashion sense” they’re fine. But for actual exercising and everyday working on your feet type of job? Forget it. Choose a different type. That’s probably a bit more expensive, the fabric is just not going to last more than 1-2 washes if you’re an athlete.

I fell in love with these socks as soon as I saw them. I knew I wanted to purchase these for my grandson. He loves bright colors and the cotton content was a plus. I'm not a fan of polyester socks. My grandson loves these socks too. He says they fit just right, are very comfortable, & are easy to find if a mate gets lost. His mom says the wash does end many times with socks with no mate. Hopefully the bright colors will help. I would definitely buy these again & am considering these for myself. Looking at them makes me smile.They were definitely priced right on sale.
