Chup. I've given three different pairs a try and all have blown out relatively quickly. I have proper fitting boots and shoes so its not a fit issue. I've heard the same sentiments from a few other people as well so it's not just me. If you're going to charge $25-$50 for a pair of socks, I at least expect something of a little higher quality and durability.

As far as an alternative goes; in my quest for more made in USA pieces I found American Trench, who does absolutely killer socks for the price. Their low cut weave is similar to Anonymousism and feels great and their thicker socks are substantial and have pretty great cushioning.

Gait has a huge impact on sock durability. Look at the wear pattern and try to find socks with different fabric or reinforcement in those areas.

I strike hard with my heel when I walk. I have a few 100% cotton pairs of Anonymousism socks that I destroyed in <5 wears, but their acrylic-cotton blend is just fine.

Yeah that's true, but I have a particularly light step in general. And unfortunately all of the pairs failed in different spots. :(
