The thread at the end of the toes didn't last through 6 washes before they started to come unraveled. They came slightly shredded looking to begin with. I would post my pictures but the upload says they are unable to do so. The ribbon across the top of the foot are one solid piece. If your foot swells too much the thin poor stitching will start to tare easily for it's only held together at the very back along the heel. The bottom grips have lasted & continue to hold up very well. The rest of the sock seems to flow suit the same way. Maybe purchasing the non toe socks would be the better buy with this company. The colors are nice, I did like that about them.
