So far, I've only worn my new Grip6 ankle socks twice, but they are very comfortable, and they stayed dry all day through a very long day on my feet at work. The two pair I purchased were factory seconds and I honestly cannot tell why. I will keep my eye out for more facory seconds deals and by more for sure. Ordering was easy and the package arrived in four days, which is fine for me as I am not usually impatient for underwear and sock purchases. :). One recommendation is for more socks in solid colors vs. patterns. I prefer all black socks, but that's just me. I also don't like logos to show on the ankles above the shoe line. Again, my preference.
