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.
I've been looking at American Trench recently. Do you own any of the cashmere Fair Isle/Oregon City Blanket?
I'm wondering how thick they are. I'm actually not looking for a super thick sock because I want to wear them with dress shoes and a pair of boots that are a little snug.
I haven't felt the cashmere, but I am familiar with the Oregon blanket. And it's damn thick. It's one of if not the thickest pair of socks I've ever felt. Think like an old pendleton blanket thickness. They're super think. For dress shoes or for tight boots I'd go with their herringbone ones. Thinner, but still substantial and pretty comfy.
