        Comments about SmartWool The Cable Casual Socks - Women's:

        Loved these socks, but the durability is poor. It's such a shame to make socks which are not sustainable...that is, wear so quickly. I washed them by hand, took special care, as I loved them. I even tried to beef up the wear spots using wool darning thread, but the socks simply aren't made to last. Interestingly, I bought a pair of QUebec made woolies that looked similar, but have lasted nearly 3 years!

        Comments about SmartWool The Cable Casual Socks - Women's:

        It's marvelous that SmartWool is attempting to make socks for everyday use with dressier casual shoes. However, these are not holding up well at all. They lose their shape in the wash, and mine are developing holes in the heel and toes after less than a season of wear. They're soft enough for me, and I like the cable detail, but they're still disappointing.

          I wear these thinner socks with dress shoes. I have a brown and a black pair and I'm always sorry when they are waiting to be washed! I would recommend them to anyone who is looking for a really comfy, soft, and durable sock to wear with dress shoes to the office!

                I have worn out my black cable Smartwool socks. They are the best casual work socks I've ever owned. In addition to only wearing Smartwool athletic socks to workout in, I always reach for these black socks for everyday use. I would recommend them to anyone.

                I absolutely love Smartwool socks. I have worn their hiking socks for years, and I really like the Saturn stripe socks too. They are definitely worth the cost. Since I like Smartwool products so much, I decided to give the Cable socks a try for work. I was very disappointed. They fit poorly, and they actually feel kind of scratchy. I was so surprised that they are not soft like their other socks. I will probably go ahead and wear these, but I will definitely not buy any more of them.

                    I have a lot of smartwool socks and love them all -- except these. These are scratchy and the top band is way too tight. They are one of the few (only?) smartwool socks that is thin enough to wear with dressier shoes that doesn't have a colorful print, but they are just too miserable to wear.

                      I love SmartWool socks and loved the fact that these are plain design and can be worn everyday. However, they wear out: on the heels and toes. I wouldn't expect that of socks this price.

                      I absolutely love these socks. Comfy. Works for work. Warm. I was very dismayed when I pulled them out of the wash with holes in the heel. I've had them less than a year and they're only used in the winters. Actually, I've never had a pair of socks get a hole in the heel. Guess I'll try out my darning skills.
