Fit
The fit is decent, if not a bit tight. They also sit short, riding just above the ankle as more quarter socks than full on regular calf length.
Fabric
The fabric on these is the weakest point. Nothing from Uniqlo screams durability, but they usually have some sense of substance behind what they make. Not so much here, the fabric is thin and slippery and the pique knit is loose. It’s the kind where you can see your skin through the knit, which would make these more breathable, but not a great bet for lasting quality.
Construction
Neither amazing nor terrible, Uniqlo quality rarely disappoints or wows and these socks are the same.
