Neena Beena I was a bit skeptical about these socks. Would they slide down, make my feet stink, ball up in the washer/dryer? I’m glad to report; the answer is no! These are great socks! They stay on your feet and don’t shrink down into your shoe, even during a moderate hike. They wash and dry well. They keep my feet cool. They provide added support in my arch (I have high arches) so this is a plus! They’re quick drying. They are below the ankle; lower than most “no shows” but are higher than Converses “make for Chucks”. These are my new go-to socks for the warm weather season!
