Oh yes. All I demand of them nowadays is that they be comfortable and don't concertina. Falke seem best - but not necessarily Argyle - but not Pantherella. However, even Falke acquire holes easily.
Preferred colours these days: subdued shading gradually to black. Grey socks to grey knitwear. For instance.
The guys I buy them from act all surprised and hurt when I complain mildly about the holes. Not cheap, though, are they?
Maybe little late post.
