Review on 6 Pairs Of Merino Wool Thermal Crew Socks For Men And Women - Perfect For Winter Hiking, Hunting, Skiing, And Outdoor Sports by Jonathan Self

There are things to like and dislike about these socks, thus my neutral review rating.I think these socks are great for indoors , and can be substituted for slippers. The are padded, have non-slip soles, and they are warm -- they are great if your home has lots of non-carpet surface (like granite, hardwood, or marble for example) and you live in a colder climate (I live near Milwaukee, WI).On the other hand, the fit is not great -- two reasons for this, I believe. First, the socks don't have a lot of spandex or some similar fiber, and they do not fit snugly to my feet. Second, the soles -- probably because of the non-slip material -- are kind of stiff. They tend to bunch up uncomfortably under my arches if I put shoes or boots on. Also because these soles are generally loose fitting, the heels do not stay in place and can be pulled back harshly when putting shoes/boots on -- really binds the toes as a result! -- and get pulled off when I take shoes/boots off.If you are looking for warm socks for outdoors, my opinion is that you should pass on these socks. Indoors, they are good.
