My son seems to wear through socks like crazy, so this purchase was to replace some of his existing socks that have holes in them! The first thing I noticed about these as soon as I took them out of the packaging was that they had a lovely thickness to them -- they are more expensive than your average 100 yen store pair of kids socks, but I can tell that they are a nicer quality. The packaging even notes that they have reinforcement in the toe and the heel, so here's to hoping they hold up well! I also like that they come in three different colors -- there's a blue and white, a dark greenish and yellow, and a black and red pair, so quite a bit of variety.

Based on initial pricing alone, it might seem a bit expensive to spend 1320 yen on three pairs of socks, when you could get three pairs from a 100 yen store for 330 yen including tax. In saying that, I really do notice the quality difference with these, they're so much thicker and feel way more durable. I think if you factor that in, and realize that they're likely to hold up better (fingers crossed for no holes!) then I think they're worth the price. If you search for Puma BOYS 4293264 Quarter Length Socks on Amazon Japan they should come up. Happy shopping!
