GOLDTOE Men's 656S Cotton Crew Athletic Socks (Multipack)

Spoiler: I liked Gold Toe the best! I wear white cotton crew socks basically every day, two pairs on workout days. I wear them with high-impact athletic shoes, work/walking shoes, and occasionally heavy work boots. I want them to last (no holes, no saggy tops), I want them to be comfortable, and I want a fair value for my money. So when I retired my old inventory nearly two years ago, I picked up five different brands of white crew socks. Durability: As I wore the socks, I tried to be very diligent about 'rotating stock' -- pulling socks to wear from the right-side of the drawer, putting in freshly-laundered ones on the left. In theory, they all received about the same amount of wear-and-tear. Wigwam (2/5): Unraveled at the top quickly -- after the first washing, three socks; after the third or fourth, almost every sock had loose tops. These thick socks took around a year before I started seeing holes in the toes or heel. Under Armour (4/5): Some unraveling around the 8 or 9 month mark, no holes until year two. Fruit of the Loom (3/5): Little unraveling, but heels thinned before the end of the first year, leading to holes. Hanes Cushion Crew (3/5): Modest unraveling, but moderate holes at toes and heels around the 9-12 month mark. Gold Toe Cotton Crew Athletic (5/5): Outstanding -- so far, no unraveling; two toe holes, one heel hole. Comfort: There's two factors for me -- first, softness; second, thickness/padding. Also, I'm not looking for a compression sock (like for when I fly, or if I develop CHF) -- nothing *too* tight (and none of them were). Wigwam (3/5): Very thick (for a crew sock), well-padded; stiff -- even after months of washing, they almost felt starched. Under Armour (5/5): Good thickness; started soft, became even softer after a few washes. Fruit of the Loom (3/5): Felt slightly thin; good softness. Hanes Cushion Crew (4/5): Good thickness; slightly stiff, but not as bad as Wigwam). Gold Toe Cotton Crew Athletic (5/5): Thick, but not too thick; softest out-of-the-plastic, and better as time went by. Value: All bought on the same date, non-sale prices (just standard Amazon prices) Wigwam Super 60 Crew ($2.97/pr) Under Armour Charged Cotton Crew ($2.50/pr) Fruit of the Loom Heavy Duty Crew ($1.81/pr) Hanes Cushion Crew ($1.78/pr) Gold Toe Cotton Crew Athletic ($1.72/pr)

I bought these Gold Toe crew socks in black and white, for my husband and son because they’ve always trusted this brand, and these did not disappoint. The quality really stands out right away, well made and dependable, just what you expect from Gold Toe. The fit works well for both of them, and they appreciate that the socks stay in place throughout the day without slipping. Comfort is another big plus; they feel soft on the feet and easy to wear for long hours, whether at work or at home. From a value standpoint, they feel like a solid purchase since you’re getting a multipack of reliable everyday socks. The classic toe color detail is just what they like—simple and traditional, staying true to the brand’s look. In terms of durability, they’ve held up nicely with regular use, and overall they feel like socks made to last. The thickness is just right for them—not too heavy, not too thin—comfortable for everyday wear in different seasons. Sizing worked well overall, giving a proper fit without feeling tight. All in all, they’re a dependable everyday sock that both my husband and son are happy to keep wearing.

If you are looking for the gold standard in everyday comfort, the GOLDTOE Men's 656S Cotton Crew Athletic Socks are a fantastic choice. After putting these through their paces, it’s clear why this brand remains a household name for quality hosiery. Why They Stand Out Superior Comfort: These socks feature a high cotton content that feels incredibly soft against the skin. The knit is breathable, which helps keep your feet cool and dry whether you’re at the gym or running errands. The Iconic Gold Toe: Beyond being a signature look, the reinforced toe area provides extra durability where most socks typically fail. It’s a small detail that adds significant longevity to the multipack. Perfect Fit: The "Stay-Up" power is real. These crew socks hit at just the right height on the calf and maintain their elasticity throughout the day without bunching or sliding down into your shoes. Cushioned Support: There is just enough padding on the sole to provide an extra layer of shock absorption for athletic activities, yet they aren't so bulky that they make your shoes feel tight. Final Verdict: Whether you're wearing them with sneakers for a workout or with boots for a casual day out, these GOLDTOE athletic socks deliver a consistent, high-quality experience. They wash well, hold their shape, and provide the kind of reliable comfort that makes you forget you’re even wearing them. Highly recommended for anyone looking to upgrade their daily sock rotation!

These socks are not as heavy as I would have expected. The heels are not reinforced which is a negative. I thought these socks would be taller than they are which was a disappointment. The plastic binding they put through the socks to hold them in place; through no fault of my own, two socks were slightly damaged when I removed the plastic. I will not buy these again

Wonderful athletic crew sock with a reinforced toe. I purchased these socks for my elderly father who still likes to wear athletic crew socks with his loafers sometimes. The moisture wicking material keeps his feet dry even when the socks are worn all day in warm temperatures, which is important to protect his delicate skin. The soft, breathable fabric sock is easy to put on and take off. The elastic band keeps the socks in place for all day wear and stands up to laundering in the washing machine. The reinforced toe is comfortable regardless of which type of shoe he is wearing. The socks are a good value for the price.

These socks are great. They are heavy. They keep your feet warm. They almost go up to your knee. Comfortable.

Loved these brand of socks, hold up well and a better price than in the store.

Nice thick socks, they are comfortable and last a long time. I'd wear them in anything, sneakers, walking shoes, boots. Nice and thick so they're even nice without shoes indoors, and they'll keep your feet warm

Great as always (although not exact quality for long run as oldies from this brand)

I first bought a pair of Gold Toe socks at Macy's on a trip to New York back in 1999! At the time I remember thinking they were the most comfortable things I'd ever put on my feet. Every time I've been back to the US, I've bought some more and have generally been more than happy with them. The last time I went back in 2019 they seemed to be a little different, and I wasn't as impressed. I've tried various socks from Amazon since then but never found a good replacement, so when I saw I could get some Gold Toe ones at a reasonable price, I thought I'd try them again. These look like they are back on form, so perhaps I was just unlucky with a batch the previous time. I think Gold Toe might just be the Carlsberg of socks!

I have bought these socks for 3 grandsons and they love them. I bought them for myself as well. Great socks.

Decent socks which are very comfortable, however nearly every sock now has a hole in after 6 months of normal usage. I usually get years out of my white socks. I have had to throw them away.

Love Goldtoe socks! They are so comfortable and long wearing.. Thank you!
