Awesome Socks
These Socks are awesome. It keeps my feet warm and comfortable. It helps me sleep too. I am a disabled veteran and have nerve damage on both my legs. Sometimes my foot gets very painful and cold. The socks help me and it is a blessing to have these socks. Aloha, Fabio Machado

Comfy socks but….
Super comfy with great padding but after one proper wash (inside out, cold water, dried flat) one sock is waaaay shorter than the other. I have a couple of other pair that I’ve yet to wear so maybe this will happen again and I’ll be able to match the short and the long socks together? :)

Weird toe seam

These socks seem well made, warm, and mostly comfortable, but the fit is weird in regards to the toe seam. I've never had a pair of socks with a seam like this, as the seam is wider than most socks and it sits right on top of the front edge of my large toenails, whereas other socks the seam is usually 1-2 inches back. This drives me nuts so unfortunately I'm going to return these and try something different.

Really loose fit and immediate pilling

I was kind of excited about these but then I got them. I wear a size 11.5/12 shoe and ordered the large and the fit is ridiculously loose. Every time I take my boot off they want to come sliding off. They’re also pilling already after one week (which isn’t a huge deal but kind of annoying)

Quality has degraded

I had a pair of these socks for 5 years and they were super comfortable and wore like iron. My favorite socks. I bought a new pair and they are much thinner and lighter weight. One had a hole in it near the top. Very disappointed in the quality.

Best Socks!

GREAT socks! These type have lasted me for years and I'm just buying a new pair so I will have 3 pair. They don't get stinky. They go through sweat, cold, damp, and still keep my feet comfy and happy. I wear these bulky ones over a wool blend sock liner in winter, and a less bulky type in warm weather.

Cloud socks!

I originally got these for the winter but since I was going on a hike I wore them and my god are they warm and absorbent but most importantly, soft! They’re like walking on clouds

Sizing is HUGE, yarn pills instantly

These were literally 2 inches longer than my other SW socks of the exact same size. They also majorly pilled after a single wash.

Quality has gone down.

The quality of this sock compared to an old worn out pair is not worth the price. The length is not as long as expected, and the weave is loose and airy, a much thinner material compared to the old version. My old pair seemed to have the same thickness all over but now it is just on the foot bed and not the entire sock. My worn out pair are still warmer than the new.
