Comfy.
I work 12-hour shifts doing a lot of walking, so cushioned socks are as important as good shoes with good insoles if I want to last the entire shift. It's gotten increasingly difficult to find actual cushioned socks, especially if you also want any sort of arch support. Even certain brands built around their comfortable shoes will for some reason sell their socks with no cushioning or arch support at all. I definitely appreciate that Gold Toe still supports comfy feet (and arches!). No-show socks like these are especially good for summer usage. They're much cooler than any sock that would rise higher, though these socks aren't super thin due to cushioning, so they can be a little warm anyway. The cushioning isn't extreme, but you will notice it once you walk around wearing these because it's sort of like walking around on a cloud. These socks have been some of the most comfortable I've recently bought. I like the cushioned tab in the back. I didn't realize I was getting that despite its being in the actual name of these socks, because it's a feature I haven't had in my socks before. That cushioned tab does make a difference in how your shoes feel on your feet. No-show socks like these don't always have much protection for your ankles against chafing by your shoes, especially if they shift at all. The cushioned tab prevents that. The arch support here isn't extreme, but it's nice, as is the extra cushioning for the balls and heels of your feet. I'm not a podiatrist or a sock expert, but I like these socks. They're comfy, and so far they're holding up well from washing and wearing with little to no color bleed. I'd prefer socks in just black, white, or grey, but these are cute colors and most of my clothing is in the blue-to-green range anyhow. I can wash them with my blue-and-green laundry. Five stars from me for my usage case, because I definitely would buy these again, and probably will in the not-so-distant future. Read more
