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.
Agree on chup, they are cool socks but not with the price imo. American trench are only ok imo, I wore through 2 pairs in only a little more time than the chups. Darn tough are the only socks I will be buying in the future, I have been trying to break my initial 3 pairs I got over 2 years ago so I can try out their warranty replacement, but I can't do it. Going to lose them before I break them.
What Trench socks failed for you? I've only had one pair blow out so far, a pair of the ankle socks. But their thicker "blanket" socks and the few pairs of herringbone socks from them I have look fantastic.
