Comfort and Fit

Pros:

  • "They are so so so comfortable, but also they stay up well and wick away moisture and are super tough."
  • "The cushion makes these boots wear so much better and the increased warmth is great for these winter days."
  • "Fit is perfect."
  • "The cushion is very comfortable."
  • "They hug my feet and I can feel the difference in quality versus your run of the mill socks."
  • "They're easy to pull on and stay up on my leg where they should."
  • "They fit true to size and are not too tight around the calves!"

Cons:

  • "The full cushion has made my boots a tad snug."
  • "I bought a pair of xl, they were really tight."
  • "The only down side to this is that it adds maybe a 1/4 to a 1/2 size to your feet which might make a difference for people who wear shoes that are very tight."
  • "However, these socks are too small for my feet."
  • "these are advertised as being large or even extra large, but all they change is the foot size of the sock and the calf/shin size is still the same."
  • "The sock has a tight weave and is tough. No doubt. Unfortunately that tight dense weave also makes the stretch less and are very hard to get on if you have feet sized outside of average."
  • "A brand new pair had a hole in it from the stitching not being done properly."

Durability and Quality

Pros:

  • "You can feel the difference right away and they certainly last."
  • "I have 3 pairs in constant rotation since summer 2019, no thin spots."
  • "They have full cushion and don’t wear out easily at all."
  • "Stitching is strong yet done in a way that never irritates."
  • "These socks are durable and thick enough to protect your feet and ankles."
  • "They show very little sign of wear after several wearings and washings."
  • "They're also very well constructed."

Cons:

  • "While this sock is still alive today, it definitely has some wear spots that have gotten thin enough for me to want to replace it."
  • "Some have holes after being worn less than 8 times."
  • "After only several months of wear holes in bottoms of both socks."
  • "This thing has been washed twice and it is already the oldest looking sock I own it looks like it’s ten years old."
  • "I do see some wear on the back-upper of the heel where it rubs against the top of my shoe as I walk."
  • "After 5 months of moderate to light use I've already had to sew 3 different holes."
  • "Expected these socks would last longer than other socks because of premium cost. Not so."

Value for Money

Pros:

  • "Expensive but well worth it for the feel, warmth, and overall comfort."
  • "They seem expensive, but the comfort and longevity make paying the price worth it."
  • "The lifetime guarantee takes some of the sting out of the price."
  • "Money spent is money saved. Fit and feel Good!"
  • "They offer a lifetime warranty, but the joke's on us: they never show any wear."
  • "They are worth every penny in terms of construction, fit and warmth."
  • "WORTH EVERY PENNY. I have never made a better clothing purchase in my life."
