PRO: They are very soft and fluffy. They're almost as soft as these socks with lotion inside. My daughter and I like to wear soft socks at home instead of sleeping shoes. CONS: I don't know why they are called "non-slip". I thought they came with those bits of plastic on the bottom but they don't. I'm fine with that as these plastic parts usually come off anyway. As with most fluffy socks, threads stick out here and there. 4 STARS: They hold up well to washing. The colors are beautiful and bright. These are the softest socks I've ever tried other than the ones that come with lotion.
