I was looking for a sock that would fit my BIG feet and be warm for ski trips - Apres Ski, that is, as ski socks, these are definitely not.They're super warm and comfy, but they don't come up very high on my legs. Actually, they're a bit short.I like them, but I'm worried about how they're going to last, even with hand washing and drying.For the money, I think I and you can do better, but they're not a bad option at all.
