My son loved these socks as soon as he saw them. They are very soft and comfortable, so he likes to wear them. I was a little concerned that they might shrink in the washer/dryer as the listing doesn't make it clear if they are wool or not (the title says "wool", at one point it says "40 %Wool", on another The description says "cotton"), but they survived the journey through the washer and dryer unscathed.
