I wear the shorty stripped socks that Riv used to sell almost exclusively. Some tips. You have to have roomy shoes if the socks are thick. You should not run around the house in your sock feet. You shouldn't launder them nearly as often as cotton or other socks. They seem to hold up fairly well if you take the proper precautions. I just looked at the Riv site and don't see them anywhere. I hope they are not discontinuing them. They are/ were great socks. Clyde Canter
