I bought these sock to wear while doing yoga. I often don’t use a mat and traction can be a problem with bare feet or regular socks. These socks are extremely comfortable and I have a strong aversion to wearing socks most of the time. The bottoms are cushioned and feel great to walk on. They have a stretchy band around the arch that provides light compression and support. They have a heel tab to keep them from slipping down inside shoes and to help them stay on. Best of all for me is the seamless toe. The grippy dots on the bottom work very well and I don’t feel the dots thanks to the cushion in the sole. I’m really happy with these socks. Great value and comfort.
