I had my doubts when I bought these socks. Is it truly possible that it can’t accumulate that funky vinegar smell that most feet get (cmon, you all smelled your socks). I took these on my trip with 10 additional (non-Grip6) regular socks to put it to the test. Walked about 7-8 miles a day and surprisingly these socks were not just for looks. They had great structure and the best part is they don’t stink! I used it for 5 days without changing it and only switched to my other socks as a test. Sure enough, my feet began to smell like Fish N Chips. Grip6 is a great buy! Spare your wife and stop blaming the kids for the smell! Buy some Grip6 socks!
