Do these socks wear out much faster than regular athletic socks because they are so thin?

Actually the socks are more exquisite in comparison with the ordinary ones. However the fabric is sturdy and durable. I have experience of using the items during several months and there is no sign of deterioration

No. I have these socks for over three months. I usually go to the gym 5 to 6 times a week. These socks are the best, so far...

I have a set that I wear each week (meaning that a pair of socks goes through the wash each week and gets used each week). I'm not an extreme runner (I run about three - six miles a week), so I can't speak to how they were with a lot of running, but I bought mine over a year ago and they have held up very well.

They are not what I consider thin nor are they excessively thick. However, Mizuno makes a knee high sock that is ribbed and recommended for both volleyball and softball. It has a thinner feel and may suit your needs. Not certain of how many colors are offered.

They are very durable. I don't think they will wear out anytime soon. I wear them 3 days a week for any squat type exercise with the exception of cleans. They are very thick. Just becareful the only way I see them riping is from pulling them on if your fingernails dig in. Enjoy they are worth every penny!

They stretch out more than regular socks, but I don't know what kind of material it is. I'm not diabetic, but just like loose socks, so they worked great for me. I ordered 5 pairs, but could use some more because I don't like to wear my other ones.

Yes. Very well. They have a plastic pebbled bottom , for grip. They are VERY comfortable. However, they take up more room in the fin than thinner socks. I love them but the fit on my fins is much tighter. I really need bigger fins by 1/2 size now to accommodate these thicker socks. I am toying with the idea of getting bigger fins. These socks are great, regardless, and are holding up well.

I don't know if they're considered running socks as they aren't heavily padded. I use them for walking 3-5 miles and they work great! My running socks are thicker for more cushion during the run, but if you don't feel the need for extra padding then these would work just fine.

The socks are worn by my Mother and she says thy are more like regular athletic socks.

Every one of the black socks I purchased developed holes rather quickly. So, in my experience, the only way to avoid holes is simply to not wear the socks! I contacted UnderArmour and reported the poor quality, and they did quickly send me a new pair of a different model of sock, as replacement. You may want to do the same.

They are a bit thicker than a normal sock. Wouldn't so much say they are great for for winter.

These are much thinner than my Balega socks. I thought they would be comparable, but they're really not. I wear my Balega's when running and these for other times...they're too thin for me.

They are quite soft and while a sock keeps them in place, they eventually get deformed and become useless. This is just normal wear. For me they last 6 months or so before replacing with new.

I bought the size closest to my shoe size men's 15 and they fit perfectly so I say this should work for you as the men's and women's shoe sizes are only off by 1 size in comparison so that should make no difference here. One item of note for you as I am on my feet all day for 8 to 10 hours and these socks wore out fast and had to be replaced by buying another pair plus as one comment was made they are thin which is why they wore out so fast for me.

This is a pretty thin sock. You may want something a little warmer. Is it for running or cycling that you need the socks?

They are not thin but they do have nice padding. I personally do not care for these socks as the do not stretch easily and I struggle to put them on my size 12 feet.

I must be one of the lucky ones that doesn't have the problem of disappearing socks. I really like and recommend these socks and would buy replacements but I think Amazon offers packs of single colors. That may solve your concern.

I was surprised how thick the bottom of the sock was when I first got them. I have two pairs that I use for Winter and Spring hiking. I would suggest that if you are using them for hiking that you allow extra room in your boots to account for the thickness. I also used a sock liner, but found them unnecessary.

They do NOT have that extra, annoying, elastic banding at the top that other socks do. My husband wears a size 15 EEEEE shoe and was a football player. These socks are very comfortable. He can wear them all day and sometimes he even wears them at night if it is cold. I highly recommend them. They are well worth the money. After I bought his first three pair, I ordered additional 9 pairs so that he never has to wear horrible socks again. The fact they come in different colors is a bonus!
