Gold Toe makes the best socks I've ever worn, and I've been buying them for as long as I can remember. Normally I would get the cotton crew socks but decided to give these a try. These are a medium heavy cotton sock that fits well and will probably last forever. They may seem a bit loose at first, but one washing will pull them back into shape and keep them up. Furthermore, they are a little thicker than normal socks, but not as thick as a wool rag. So, consider how your shoes fit before getting these. If they are snug, these sock will just make them snugger. Finally, I like the color selection on these socks.

Oh, yeah. Believe it or not, Gold Toe has a fantastic customer service department. I sent them some digital photos of some socks I can't find anymore and they matched them up. That, and Amazon's prices are worth 5 stars right there.

I am absolutely thrilled to realize that I can buy Gold Toe Cotton Fluffies from Amazon. I now have no reason to go to a department store in a mall ever again.

It is particularly exciting to order more than $25 of socks in a single order and then track their (free) shipping by UPS all the way from Coffeyville, Kansas to my home in Massachusetts by way of such exotic stops as Oklahoma City, OK, and Earth City, MO.

I ordered 3 each of the new Denim Heather and 3 of the Olive. I also ordered two of the less-expensive three-packs in Navy and Black.

I love the name Denim Heather, and I am really excited about wearing these to work on Monday morning.

The Olive socks were not as green as I expected: they are really a shade of Brown. I own many pairs of Brown Cotton fluffies and I fear that sorting my laundry in artificial light may prove difficult now with the inclusion of two shades of Brown socks. Time will tell.

I loved my first order of Gold Toe Socks so much that I purchased more. They are thick enough that I can remain comfortable at work. I am a nurse and wear these for each hectic 13-hour work day. Even though they are thick, my feet feel like they can breathe and the socks seem to wick the sweat away efficiently enough that my feet aren't wet at the end of the day. That's very different than the socks I used to wear.

Pricewise, these are cheaper than I saw for the same socks at Costco, plus you get free shipping and no tax when you purchase on Amazon.
