Stay up, but wear out quickly

I have several pairs of these socks. They stay up, almost to the knee. They would be the perfect boot socks, except they wear through on the toe and heel far too quickly. I don't walk enough to wear holes in any sock within six months, but these have holes in nearly every pair. I hang-dry them, so they are not abused. Too bad. When they don't have holes, they are my favorite socks!
