Very comfortable socks

These are the best socks I have ever worn, both in terms of comfort and warmth. Mainly used for ice fishing and snow clearing.

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • There are more interesting options.

Super comfortable! men's best

I put them on and fell in love with the super soft interior. They kept my feet warm all day. Wool doesn't scratch at all. I should get another pair!

Pros
  • Easy to apply
Cons
  • boring packaging

Warm and comfortable

I bought these socks for my 84 year old mother to keep warm. She seems to like them. As she is diabetic she doesn't need to tighten anything at the top of her legs. These still seem to be doing their job.

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Out of style

Warm and comfortable for men

These socks are warm and comfortable. Although they were intended for "camping" socks, I bought them for tree hunting (non-mobile) during the day in sub-zero temperatures. I paired them with "Hot Hands" insole warmers, and for the first time in years, my feet stayed warm all day. The price for a pair is high but I would buy them again.

Pros
  • Inspire confidence
Cons
  • Available in black only

Soft and durable socks

I'm going hiking in all of Utah's national parks in October and these socks will be perfect! They fit perfectly - I wear 7.5 shoes and a medium sock. And they are soft, but not too soft. Haven't worn or washed them yet so can't confirm any of them. I will love these socks for years and am very happy! I might end up getting more!

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Doubtful

Socks for all occasions

These are the best socks for hiking, whether it's warm or cold weather, they do the job perfectly. It offers enough cushioning to prevent blisters even if you run all day and absorbs all moisture without weighing down the foot. It's cozy and warm, yet breathable. I totally recommend this product, whether it's snowboarding or hiking, these are your socks!

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Some problems

Great for Minnesota hunting and ice fishing

These socks are AMAZING. However, be tiring if you wash them in hot water and dry them (I know you shouldn't, but sometimes my friend is happy to help wash them), they will shrink and not stretch. But other than that random cut, they are AMAZING. I'm allergic to lanolin, the oil in other wools, and I'm having trouble finding warm socks for hunting in Minnesota. They kept my toes SUPER warm while hunting in 20°F and thanks to the extra layer they keep my feet warm even when ice fishing. And…

Pros
  • Happy so far
Cons
  • Will write later
