Hide and Sock

Help me find replacement for these no-show Smartwool socks
The style is this "Hide and seek."
I like them because they're that low cut style, but still somewhat heavy--not an athletic sock (I can still wear them in close fitting shoes), but they have some weight to them, and don't flop and squirm around when I'm wearing them. I really like them, and have been wearing them pretty much non-stop the last two weeks. And again--the weight is really key here; I'm not looking for a flimsy sock.
However, they've started to wear faster than I'd like--mostly small holes after what seems like not a lot of wear (as an aside, I feel like Smartwool's quality in general has gone done in the past few years).
Here's some pictures so you can see the shape better:

Side
A hole already!
Seriously, I've worn this pair maybe 6 times
Any suggestions for a similar sock?

My dad swears by DarnTough socks; he was a Smartwool fan previously/as well.

Something like this? I've been really happy with my Darn Tough socks.

Also my smartwool footies are holding up much better; are you putting yours in the dryer or just the washer? Do you have unusually calloused feet? I've definitely gotten holes in socks from both of those before.
