I used to buy white socks for the summer, dark socks for the winter. I didn't like black socks turning my feet dark in the summer and white socks are only good for about 3 uses until they get too dirty to wear, imo, and too expensive to toss them so often.
These, in my mind, are near the perfect sock. So far. I can wear them year-round without worrying about staining my feet for barefoot season, they don't stain that easily, they fit well, are fairly comfortable, decently durable, the elastic at the top stays tight and the colors are pretty steady over time. I have 30 pairs of these now. I've thrown away all of my other socks and only have these. All of my socks match. Life is better when you don't have to hunt for matching socks.
The prices for these seem to fluctuate, but I really only buy them at the lower price point. If the price went up permanently, I might wear these until I found something comparable that was cheaper, then toss these and move to those as my only socks. That may be a hard challenge, though, as these are really quite good overall, especially for the price.
Realistically, I think the only thing these socks are "missing" is a bit more comfort. A tad thicker or softer. Maybe it's not possible without losing something else that makes these socks great. I have no legitimate complaints and I've been using these over a year now.
