Comfort and Fit

Pros:

  • "More comfortable, no blisters and less sweaty feet."
  • "These socks work great, they breath, have just enough cushion, and dry pretty quick."
  • "They are very comfortable and have a nice amount of stretch that makes them easy to put on and take off."
  • "These are great hiking socks. I got these for hiking in the spring. They are a lighter weight wool sock but still give your feet extra cushioning and/or support where you need it."
  • "They're durable, comfortable, no-nonsense types of wool socks."
  • "These socks are comfortable and long lasting."
  • "These socks are comfy. I've even taking to wearing them as house slippers."

Cons:

  • "Not the thick knit wool I hoped for. There’s no tag describing the fabric. It’s thin and stretchy."
  • "I must have sensitive skin, because even after washing three times, I still find these socks to be itchy."
  • "The sock fits great from the leg to the arch, however, when it comes to the toe area, it’s huge and bags around my foot."
  • "They are taller which I do not like."
  • "These are tight on my calves (calfs?)."
  • "They are loose in the foot area, too tight in the upper sock/leg area."
  • "Socks do not fit properly. The part that goes over your arch is narrow and does not stretch enough to make it easy to put socks on."

Durability and Quality

Pros:

  • "Unbelievably, they show no signs of wear whatsoever."
  • "They are thick and wash well, and fit nice and snug."
  • "These socks are well made. After many wears, no holes, no blisters, and all day comfort."
  • "Wore them almost a year and shows almost nowhere at all."
  • "Fantastic socks, wear well, wash well, very durable 11/10."
  • "Even after several years of regular wash & wear they're still serviceable."
  • "These socks have out performed every brand I have tried!!"

Cons:

  • "At first was very happy with socks. Ordered a bunch more. Two months in total blowout in the wash. Very disappointed."
  • "Every single sock developed a hole somewhere along the toe seam after the first wear."
  • "But they are starting to bunch up and wear down after a few uses."
  • "Started to break down on the tops of the toe seam just after a few washes."
  • "These socks ripped open at first day of normal wearing."
  • "Sock had a hole in it after eight hours of wearing them. Shame because for the cost I was expecting more."
  • "Purchased these socks for my son for Christmas. He is a firefighter and they like to wear the marina wool socks with their boots. These had holes in them within 6 weeks and considering he wore them 5-6 times. Very disappointing."

Customer Service and Value

Pros:

  • "Got these for my husband, he loves this brand!"
  • "Needed to contact customer service due to a missing pair of socks in one order. I got a prompt response the same day and another set of socks within a few days."
  • "You get 3 pairs of good socks for what you might easily have to pay for one pair."
  • "I’ve been wearing a pair of these for a few years and I really like them. I wish the percentage of wool was higher but they’re literally half the price of the top brands."
  • "I purchased a set last year and liked them so much that I ordered more. The price is very reasonable compared to other brands of wool socks making these an excellent value."
  • "I do not know how these socks maintain their low price point, but from me they come highly recommended."
  • "The last order I received only had 2 sets of socks and when I told this company about it along with pictures, they immediately sent me another 3 pack."

Cons:

  • "These “merino” socks are only a third merino— very disappointing."
  • "These were the most expensive of the 3-packs I purchased, and by FAR the thinnest and most cheaply made."
  • "They cost a bit more but are worth it."
  • "Not worth the price."
  • "Very cheap socks with an expensive price tag."
  • "Given the same experience with consecutive orders I regret buying these socks."
  • "They advertise three pairs, but only send two. SO inconvenient for an otherwise well-made product."

Washing and Care

Pros:

  • "After three washing and drying cycles, they fit perfectly."
  • "Just washing by hand with a light ring and hang dry promotes longevity of a socks."
  • "Purchased for summer sock. Like most merino or merino blend socks, best to cold/delicate wash and hang dry; last a lot longer if you do."
  • "Cold water wash, line dry and they're holding up great to steel toe boots on a construction site 10 hours per day 6 hours per week."
  • "Machine washable but do not put into the dryer."
  • "Easy to hand wash and air dry."
  • "I like the bigger size. I've decided no more dryer for wool socks and they are fine."

Cons:

  • "Got tighter and tighter because I forgot 'wash wool in cold' and I tossed them into regular warm water laundry loads."
  • "Socks immediately shrunk at least two sizes with first wash."
  • "I washed these socks in cold on delicate cycle. Now the socks feel good as expected but have shrunk a little too much for comfort."
  • "However, they shrink and after a few washes are at least a size smaller."
  • "I machine wash and dry and have never had an issue."
  • "After the first washing they shrink. Fit is lost."
  • "After I washed them the first time, the forefoot shank a little, but the part from the ankle to halfway up to the knee...shrank..like two sizes!"

Material and Warmth

Pros:

  • "They're warm without making for sweaty feet."
  • "Super comfy. Stays dry even on humid days."
  • "Her feet are toasty and dry in these socks and that makes her very happy."
  • "Very warm and slim profile."
  • "These socks kept my feet dry even when sweating intensely."
  • "These have helped keep my feet warm in the cold MN winters."
  • "These socks still kept his feet warm despite being soaked. Great wool socks!"

Cons:

  • "I bought these thinking they would be warm because I work outside. Not even close."
  • "Plus the fabric is way too thin for hiking or even for walking."
  • "They are a lot thinner than expected. Not much of a cold weather sock."
  • "These socks are thin, like dress socks. They are vented on top of the foot as I can hold them up to light and see."
  • "These do not keep my feet warm even in 30 degree weather."
  • "The wicking process is too radical. They keep your feet too cold."
  • "They are thinner than expected and not warm at all."
