I recieved these as a gift three Christmas's ago from family. I have been using my first three pairs a few times a week for the past three years. I have a demanding job where I'm always on my feet, getting lots of steps in. No holes or wearing on any of these pairs. They are still thick and cozy, and they don't retain odor in my experience. They are very breathable, to a point where it feels breezy wearing the in winter time. Excellent product and investment, I'm glad I got these as a gift. Got anouther set so I can share these socks with anouther family member who needs them.
Cheers!
