I haven't worn these socks yet. I bought them to wear with a hiking boot. Which have been gone for 2 weeks. They are very soft. They wash well and appear to be of very good quality. I wear women's size 8 and they fit well. They reach just below my knee. When I take off my boots in winter, I wear them with long pants. To keep your feet warm. They are very cute, young girls like to wear them with skirts or shorts.
