I wanted to like these socks, they feel smooth and breathable in hand, but when I folded them I noticed how there is elastic loosely woven in. I've never seen this on any of my socks, this may be the "extra elastic" they mention which could be in addition to that already woven into the knit, but eno...ugh times in my standard socks I will have elastic string start to poke out. I can only imagine what these will look like when the reinforcement elastic starts to break down or gets snagged. So even though they're comfortable I'm unsure I want to invest money in them, they're very snaggable. Would consider at best sale price.
