Disclaimer: Real review. I've paid for every Pointe Studio sock I own and I'm not a "leave a review" type person. I do, however, think highly of these socks. These are the only socks I use for Pilates multiple times per week and they have lasted YEARS without thinning at all. My socks have been washed and put in the dryer on low (I repeat, for years) and they withstand the torture. The terrycloth inside stays fluffy and very absorbent, the compression arches remain very snug, the elastic is as good as day 1. I despise all thin, saggy, slippery socks and these are the opposite. A bad sock is dangerous on a Pilates Reformer, but I trust these socks. They stay very snug over the entire foot and, amazingly, the grips stay grippy and mine have never split or peeled. I just bought 5 more pairs because I never want to run out if I skip laundry day and I wanted some color variety. Just to reiterate, my "old" pairs of Pointe Studio socks are tough and still in constant use. I've tried other brands and am always disappointed and toss those into the "free box" at the studio.
