On the packaging can be seen that the socks are produced in Turkey.
Thus the socks make up ground, as it therefore really is quality and a real alternative to Made in China products.
The first machine washes have the sock very well endured.
I can not say anything yet about the long-term durability.
Conclusion:
The manufacturer should definitely check its size.
If I were to buy the socks again, then definitely one size smaller.
UPDATE 03/03/2015:
Now I can go a little closer to the long-term durability:
I each bought a 6-pack of socks at a distance of 7 months.
The socks that 7 months older can be clearly seen that the waistband has been extremely ausgeleihert unlike the newer socks.
So another point, confirming the previous 3 of 5 stars.
