I bought these as a gift for someone else so I can't answer the questions regarding softness, etc. However, the recipient was very happy with the socks and started wearing them immediately, The designs, which I could see thru the packaging, were very cute.

Fantastic socks. The fabric us soft and has nice stretch. Feels great, looks great and good value. All of the patterns so so cute. Would love as a gift too.

After I went shopping, retail, I realized that what I love about these is the COLORS! What's in the stores is boring, boring. I'll probably order another set of them.

I love the look of these socks and have gotten many compliments on them, BUT after two or three times of wearing them they have holes in the ball of the foot. Seems to have something to do with the design and holes forming at the junctures. Very unfortunate, they are pretty to look at.

I've only worn 2 pairs out of the 5 so far, and they've been decent. They stay up and don't sag or bunch. They washed nicely, too. I had hoped they would be a little bit thicker sock just for my own tastes which is why I rated them 4 instead of 5 stars. The sock fabric is otherwise really nice. If I had to suggest one change, it would be to swap colors on one pair from a black base to a blue base. They are fun to wear, certainly!

Pretty patterns and not too hot. They are also long enough to cover my shins in this colder weather. The one drawback is that these have a raised pattern, so I can feel the unevenness when I walk. However, I like them for their stretchiness and pretty colors. I’ve received many compliments.

These socks were just what I was looking for. They are comfortable, great design and just the right leg length. I have received compliments on the socks.

I ordered these for a friend who wears a size 7 shoe. They fit her fine, but I doubt they would fit a much larger shoe size. They're adorable, though!

These socks seem like good quality socks. The designs are fun. The socks are a little tight for the size but I stretch them before putting them on. I haven't washed them yet. Over all, it was a good buy.

Really love it, super cute. makes me smile. I wish it could be just a tad thicker. no other complaints. am ordering another set. : )

I like the socks and the colors but they shrink when they are washed. I wash in cold water and don’t use a dryer. I can only imagine what would happen to them in the dryer.

I gave these to my 11 year old granddaughter. She loves cats. She was so happy when she opened the package. Very cute socks. My only issue is that they''re aren''t warm at all!

Cute, only complaint is that the colors differ slightly from the picture. For example the yellow isn't as bright but more of a dark mustard yellow and the chicks look yellow online but orange in person. Still cute though and not a huge deal. Haven't had very long so not sure how they'll last. Comfy too.
