Personally, I love tennis socks, comfortable, warm and still good climate. Because I (high-top) wanted to try to lower price something different as Nike / Adidas / Puma, I've chosen these Kappa (Gr. 45 - SW). At first they were, of course, as has been described here as well, meeeeega fuzzy. The toes and the soles were (especially after running training, so when the foot is damp) quasi black. I thought, just put on and after 10-15 washes himself should have done. Meanwhile, I've on the socks over 1 year and really often and have to say: Unfortunately not. While it is of course getting better, but it's still far too much what is stuck at the bottom, the annoying right time. The photographic evidence should be spared you at this point. What you have to keep the socks benefit is that they are also in the winter (for tennis socks) warmer than average and not a single a hole - but is simply because that extremely large amount of material is up. Nevertheless, I would no longer buy these socks as they clearly are too thick, especially for the transition period and paving because really unbelievable remain "hanging" a lot of fluff.
