I bought an 8 pack of puma socks from Costco that I wear exclusively for five years now. I wear them to work and on the weekends. I don't wear hiking or when I need taller socks but that is rare.

I'm about to buy a second pack only because of if I want to wait two weeks to do laundry I have to wear other socks and my other socks are not comfortable in comparison.

During most of that time I'm walking for fitness at lunch for a couple of miles or going to the gym but have an office job.

I have Bombas that I bought over 5 years ago but I can tell you that you cannot have just 7 pairs of those, wear them exclusively and expect them to last more than a year.

I like the pumas, too. They fit well and have lasted a few years and aren't wearing out so far. Did not like how the Bombas felt, or how much they cost.

I have had Puma socks last me much longer than Hanes or Adidas. I know this is buy it for life, but socks are just an item that need to be rebought every few years.

Puma socks from Costco are great when new. They are cotton and very comfortable when new. After a year they are no longer soft and ready to retire. My Merino wool socks, both Smart wool and Darn Tough are great and last. Cotton Pumas and Merino Wool socks are different animals. You can not compare the two.
