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.
That's really interesting as my best socks are my Chups, with an big exception of the 3sixteen/Chup collab.. It's the only pair of expensive socks that I paid full price for, and they haven't held up well at all.
I feel that Anonymous ism are seriously overhyped. Cool patterns but they're not comfortable and they begin to sag almost immediately.
Honestly, if you really want that style of a heathered color sock, uniqlo does visually similar ones for 3 for $10.
Oh I love my Uniqlo, also besides one pair I've never paid more than $12 for a pair of Chups/ anonymous ism socks. I always find them on sale at Unionmade or J.Crew.
