RIP Gold Toe Quality

I have purchased Gold Toe socks for many years. Unfortunately, the quality has dramatically declined in the past couple of years. These socks were especially disappointing. After a couple of wears and washes, the fabric began to fray, white elastic threads appeared and the elastic at the top of the sock lost all of its elasticity and so the socks live at my ankles. I've thrown them out. RIP Gold Toe quality. PS - I'm looking for a substitute sock that has reinforced heels and toes, and strong elastic at the top of the sock. I'm currently trying Jos A Bank socks which have reinforced heel and toe, but would appreciate other suggestions.
