Fit

The fit on the Chups is solid, almost like wearing a harness for your feet. Not loose, not tight, but supportive.

Fabric

Continuing on with our tool theme, the socks feel industrially thin and uncushioned. The fabric is also slippery from its high synthetic content.

This also makes the socks shine as easily the most durable in the test, they had by far the least amount of stretch in the bean test and absolutely no deforming afterwards.

Construction

Bulletproof isn’t something I commonly think of when considering socks, but these are as close as it comes. These are a high end tool of a sock that feels like it was made to strict tolerances to maintain a foot for the longest time frame possible.

Conclusion

If you demand a lot fo your socks and don’t like buying new ones more than every decade, this is the pair for you.
