My experience is that sock makers have changed the way they make socks. Most of them have gone from a fully knitted sock, to “cushioned” which means the footbed is equivalent to a looped pile rug. One with a very thin weave supporting the loops. This makes the sole feel thick and cushiony, but also more prone to holes, when the very thin weave fails.

Occasionally, I find fully knitted socks, and they last much longer.

If anyone else has a source for durable, non “cushion” socks, I am all ears.
