Love these cotton socks! Goes just the the ankle and they are not the thin see through socks but thick enough to have some cushion. Fits well with tennis shoes or boots. Amazing value for only $11 for 10 pair. If you like thin and snug these are not it. Medium thickness and comfortable. Read more

I recently bought this 10‑pack of Amazon Essentials ankle socks, and I have to say — for the price, they’re exactly what I wanted for daily wear. Here’s what worked for me and a couple of little things to know. What I Like: Soft & Breathable Cotton: The cotton-rich blend feels gentle against the skin, and keeps my feet breathable even when I’m on my feet most of the day. Outdoor Woman's +1 Light Cushioning: The “lightly cushioned” soles give just enough padding under the heel and ball without being too bulky — great for walking around or pairing with sneakers. Outdoor Woman's Smooth Toe Seam: The seam at the toe is pretty subtle, so I don’t feel irritation or bulky rubbing inside my shoes. Outdoor Woman's Good Fit: Thanks to the mix of cotton and a little stretch, these socks hug my ankle nicely without slipping down. Great Value: Getting 10 pairs for a decent price means I can rotate them without constantly doing laundry. Things to Be Careful About: Durability Varies: Some users mention that a few pairs developed holes or became thin after repeated washing. Reddit Shedding: A few comments noted lint or fuzz coming off the socks — not a deal-breaker, but something to expect with cotton blends. Reddit Sizing Sensitivity: Depending on your foot size, the elastic around the ankle can feel either snug or a little too loose. Reddit Bottom Line: If you’re looking for affordable, comfy, everyday ankle socks, these from Amazon Essentials are a smart pick. They’re not going to rival premium athletic socks, but for regular wear — lounging, working, or running errands — they hit the sweet spot between comfort and value. Read more

Good quality socks, especially for the price. Cotton is soft and strong. I've had these for several years and I think I've tossed maybe one or two pairs for holes in the heels. I used them every day and I have bought them in different heights. I prefer these ankle length version. Over time, the black starts fading, but these do last. I had no shrinkage at all, despite countless washes. I use a commercial washer and dryer, so these get a beating. Our building dryer gets HOT. They're warm in colder months. I don't wear these in summer, because they're too thick. These fit well and stay up, but I fold them over. The fit is good (I wear a size 8 shoe). I wouldn't say these are "cushioned", as advertised, but they're not thin. Irecommend these for everyday wear. Read more

These are actually legit! They are comfortable, perfect fit, and don’t make my feet sweat. They are very lightweight, but not thinly made. Read more

I have bought these socks many times. The are the perfect thickness, design is great, soft cotton feel and breathable. I like the colored toes for matching. The height is perfect for tennis shoes and just shows a little. Very affordable price. Read more

These socks are fine - nothing to write home about. I don’t like them for my workout socks as they don’t feel thick enough & feel cheap. Will definitely just get name brand athletic socks next time. I’m 5’9” and the don’t cover the top of my ankle where my leggings hit. Was trying to keep my ankles covered while running in the winter. Read more
