I saw the GRIP6 Teklite ankle sock on Instagram and liked the features that were described so I took a chance and ordered a few pairs for myself and my grown son. They are exactly as described: more padding under your heel and ball of your foot and nice breathability along the top and arch of your foot. Love that they are wool and it's soft and not at all itchy. They were such a hit my son immediately went online and ordered 8 pairs. I bought the anthricite and sandstone colors. Which there was a white option. Also wish the GRIP6 logo could be somewhere other than the back tab as I sometimes wear Taos flowered sneakers with these socks and want a neutral look and don't like that the GRIP6 logo is so prominent and can be seen.
