These are my favorite socks. I have worn them for years. They are thick and comfy and wear very well. I usually wear mine for a couple of years before needing to replace. I wear them around the house all the time too. I am apparently hard on my socks on the ball of my foot, so that is where mine start to thin out. These appear to be the same socks I have bought in the past. They doesn't feel like they have cheapened them like so many companies are doing to their products. I do think they have gone up in price some since I last bought them a couple of years ago-of course that is not surprising. I hate to spend this much for 6 pairs of socks, but they are cheaper this way than buying by the pair. They are a splurge for me, but know I'm set now for a couple more years! I received 6 pair as shown and received the blue and white socks, as shown. Very happy with this purchase.
