4-star Comfort. 1-star durability.

I bought 6 pairs off S&C a couple weeks ago, most have already ripped.

There's a seam on the outside of the heal where all the stitching meets and it consistently tore while putting them on in the first wear or two. As far as I can tell I'm not overly aggressive when putting socks on - solely based on observing how other people pull them on.

Maybe I'm holding them wrong when pulling them on but I don't want a trail sock that has to be cradled when worn.

These silly socks are being returned and I'll think twice before buying Stoic socks again.

The Stoic Synth Trail socks are very lightweight. They're designed for warm weather and have a thinner profile requiring less space in a shoe. I have several pair I've been wearing since early spring with no rips or other issues. I'm a size 10 and wear the l/xl - fit is good on me, but could see being a little snug on the larger foot sizes. If you need a little heavier sock with more cushion - I'd recommend the Merino Comp Trail socks.
