Customer Reviews

The best "white cotton casual sock" you can buy5
These are NOT the "Cheap-O" white socks. They are the Gold Toe White Fluffies we all look for ! Extra heavy cotton weight to absorb sweat and provide that soft cushion feeling for your feet. The elastic bind holds the socks up just fine without the top coming undone after many washes. I wear white socks everyday and buy 2-dozen at a time. These socks will last me 5-years ! Remember ..wash them with cold water and tumble dry on "low heat" to make the cotton fabric last a long time.

Navy is a very very dark blue5
I would never give Gold Toe Cotton Fluffies anything less than 5 stars; they are one of my favorite things, but I want to caution people that the color "Navy" is, to my human eyes at least, virtually identical to "Black."

I love my socks, but I have a real problem matching them up when I sort my laundry, and it's not as though I am color-blind. I fear that it will be a challenge to distinguish these from true black socks when they come out of the dryer.

About 25-years-ago, Gold Toe manufactured Cotton Fluffies in a much wider variety of colors. I would pay a lot of money for a new pair of Kelly Green Cotton Fluffies, should they ever be re-issued. I think Gold Toe may be missing out on a real opportunity to market their socks in limited edition colors, like VW Beetles or Beanie Babies.

Bought these on the strength of the other reviews and I second their opinions5
I bought these socks on the strength of the other reviews. I won't repeat what these reviewers said except to say that I agree they are the best white socks you can get. However, I will add some additional information that they did not necessarily mention.

These socks are obviously well made and fairly thick. However, they are not too thick which is a concern that I had. They are much thicker and softer than Gold Toes Cotton Crew socks, but you must also pay for this i.e. $9.00 vs. $15.00. On the other hand, I estimate these socks will stand up to laundering better, last much longer and will stay up with repeated washing.

The exact composition of these socks is: 84% combed cotton, 15% stretch nylon and 1% spandex. The less expensive socks I reference above are 82% combed cotton, 17% stretch nylon and 1% spandex. One would think this wouldn't make much difference in terms of durability, but there seems to be more weight and material overall in the higher quality socks.

I have also had some experience with the WHITE COTTON CREW socks and while they are absorbent because of the high cotton content, I don't feel they held up to repeated washing well. I also don't think they are much better than less expensively priced socks by other manufacturers. However, the WHITE FLUFFIES are a quantum leap up and worth the extra money.
