Great socks for every day use!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These socks are the perfect fit and pretty comfortable. You will need to wash them before the first wear as they come a little starched. They really are breathable and I can't wait to wear these in the summer. Came in standard packaging, which is nice as you are able to feel them before you buy. Material is great too as the bottom provides a level of cushion and durability.

Good Basic Socks from Hanes
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are good “budget” socks. I like the height - they aren’t the no-show ankle, but they also aren’t way up my calf. Good middle ground that works for sneakers or high tops. They’re very light, which is good on hot days. They aren’t a premium sock - don’t expect Bombas or Quince thickness, but for an everyday? They fit the bill.

Comfortable and last.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These socks feel fine for everyday use and the breathability is good, so your feet aren’t feeling sweaty. The design of these socks feel comfortable and fit exactly for what it suggests. The color of these Hanes ankle socks last, like most of their other products.

Great fit
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These have a great thickness that breathes. I also really like how they are fitted and do not sag. They fit well and are not too tight. Odor control is also a big plus.

They are good summer socks.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These socks are lightweight and comfortable. It goes good with my walking shoes and shorts. They stand out by offering a breathable fabric that helps feet dry all day. I noticed these sock balance of softness and strength. It fit perfect on my feet size.

Great breathable socks
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The men's Premium Xtemp Breathable Docks by Hanes are some of the better socks in the category. I was able to walk around all day in the socks and my feet didn't get sweaty at all. The top has the breathable material whereas the bottom is thick which gives extra cushioning and durability. I really like the clean white and gray appearance. These offer a great value for the money. 10 out of 10 would buy again.

The most important thing is the cushioned bottom
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve just received the other day the Hanes X-temp all day cooling breathable socks. I’ve been wearing them for about 10 hours and with the last stay dry wicked. They have a very comfortable cushioned foot bottom.

The item was never actually delivered, after 2 tries. FedEx wrote delivered " at dock". What the heck is that? No package was delivered.

Awful!! So thin!!
We have purchased these socks for years. They have changed dramatically!! They are so thin! They don’t stay in place and move around your foot constantly. Within a few minutes of wearing the bottom immediately showed wear. Do NOT buy these! What a waste of money.

The basics!
These were a birthday gift for my brother. He’s told me how nice they are! I especially like that Target shipped my gifts to him!

Comfortable to begin with but got holes quickly
These were very comfortable to begin with. But after a short time they started getting holes in the heels. I have never had socks wear out in the heel so quickly.

Holes in heel by 3rd month
By month 3 I got my first hole in the heel of a sock. HALF of them have holes and it’s been 6 months. Do not buy these as even casual use wears a hole in them.

Wrong images/material description
I ordered this product online because I can't find the correct one on store shelves anymore. I'm very particular about my socks. I last picked up these socks in December from a store and the material is 48% cotton, 43% polyester, 7% rayon, 1% spandex, 1% nylon. The description on the page didn't match, but was within 1% so I proceded to order. What arrived was 73% cotton, 25% polyester, 1% spandex, 1% nylon...which doesn't match either listed above. It also does not match the images on the product page by only having "hanes" on the bottom of the sock. The barcode matches what I purchased in December so Hanes must have changed the product without making a new barcode. So now I have to either try them and won't be able to return them or drive to a very inconvenient location to return them.

Not a great look
These ankle socks go way too high (much higher than the prior ones). Not a flattering look. Okay for home, but probably wouldn’t wear otherwise

Small, meh
They feel too small, and too short. Hopefully they get softer after the first wash.

Socks too thin
These socks are so thin that I can see my skin through them when I put them in. Athletic socks should be fairly thick. Hanes, please start making these socks with the same quality they used to be. I’d keep wearing the ones I bought several years ago, but they’re starting to get holes. These new ones will wear out way too fast.

Nice sets of socks
Good quality. A bit stretchy but breathable socks.
