I was a huge fan of the JCPenny Gold toe socks for years. Then they decided to burn the brand, kill the goose or any other way of saying they went cheap. I am trying out several different sock companies and have found some pretty cool brands. GRIP6 is a comfortable thinner sock. If you want something to temperature regulate and live in a warm climate, go for it. I love the fit. They are comfortable unless it is below freezing. This winter has had a few days below freezing and I guess my circulation isn’t what it used to be. I am still working through the list. I haven’t ruled GRIP6 out. They just may need to be a thicker style for winter.
