Get them!
My boys love their new socks. I like that they’re mostly cotton, which is so hard to find these days.

Great cotton socks!
Softest socks ever! It’s so hard to find cotton socks in store for my son. He has sweaty feet and cotton is the best. These are the best socks and he loves them

Comfy socks
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received these Hands boys’ socks for free in exchange for my honest review, and I’m really impressed! They are super soft and very comfortable—my son absolutely loves them. He’s very active and plays hard all day, but these socks do a great job of keeping his feet dry. They fit well, feel durable, and wash nicely. Definitely recommend for other parents looking for quality socks for their kids!

Cushion support
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are great socks! They have cushioning in all the right spots and and have support where desired. The fabric is extremely nice and the coloring is placed in all the right spots. I would recommend these socks to anyone shopping for boys socks.

Thick with great support.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love how sturdy these socks feel. They're thick without being bulky, and have various areas that are reinforced. You can see the different textured areas of support when you flip them inside out (pictured). My son says they're comfortable all day. They wash well and I've been hanging them to dry. He's been wearing them two or three weeks now and they're holding up well. They do not appear to be getting holes any time soon. They do stain easily because they're white and he's nine, but I don't hold that against them!

Active Boys' Ankle Socks -
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These socks are so soft and cushiony. The colors are very neutral ad go with everything. The height of the socks is perfect; not too short and not to tall. They are even softer after washing them and just as comfortable.

Hanes boy socks for on the go or just relaxation.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These boy socks have a thick but breathable feel to them. For sports or comfortable for everyday use. They keep the shape and the comfort feel level even after washed. Hanes products are the best with quality and piece of mind.

Cute and comfy
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are super comfortable for my little one. They fit great and not too thick and not too thin material, which he is usually very picky on. The style is simple but great, so he can wear them with many outfits. Overall great quality.

Sooo soft and comfy.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was sent these Hanes Boys' Absolute Ankle Socks to review. Taking them out of the packaging, they looked nice & plush. They felt very nice and soft My son LOVES them. As soon as he put them he said they were super soft, super comfy, and fit very well. There are a darker blue color, light blue color and grey color of socks. They are really nice and padded with extra fabric at the top of the foot and toe box, but not so padded that the sock is too bulky to wear comfortably in shoes. It’s a really good balance of softness and padding without bulkiness. They could easily be unisex (I want a pair!). They’re not overly boyish. I wish they were a bit more boyish. They struck me as slightly feminine in the lighter blue color. Not a big deal at all, but something I noticed.

Best Ankle socks I have ever had.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These socks are the absolute best Sox. I got them for my nephew and kept them for myself. They fit perfect and I love the way they hug my arches. They are very soft and comfortable and the tops do not stretch out. Thank you Hanes. I will definitely buy these for future use.

Great socks for boys!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got these socks for my grandson, and he really liked them! They fit well, feel comfortable, and have held up great after several washes. The designs are fun, and the material seems durable. Definitely a good purchase—I’d buy them again!

"Quality Made!"
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm really impressed with the quality of Hanes Boy's Ankle Socks! They are made very well, with a wicking cotton blend material. These socks wash up very well too! My 9 year old Grandson said they are so soft and comfy! I truly recommend this product!

Men socks
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought the socks for my husband, the materials are excellent quality. We love Hanes products because they are very comfortable and fit just right. They didn't have that awful factory smell that other companies have.

Perfect
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These socks are true to size and truly ankle socks. The fabric is very thick and durable and they look like they will last a long time before getting holes in the toes. I definitely recommend these socks
