Very well made socks but have a strong oily odor. An internet search revealed that some companies use petroleum products to manufacture their wool...this may explain the odor. Suggestion to LL Bean search and use companies that use plant based oil in their wool manufacturing process.
I bought my husband a new pair of boots for his birthday in November, and gave him this 2-pair set of boot sox for Christmas.
The sox arrived in plenty of time for Christmas, but they were in a plastic bag with no laundry instructions. I washed them with my regular laundry on warm wash/cold rinse; and after 2 or 3 washings they ended up measuring only about 6" from the heel to the top of the sock. This happened with both pairs. They are very well-made and very warm; but I could have used some laundry instructions, folks!
Socks were thicker than I wanted. But will be good to wear by themselves or with boots. I would still love to find a pr thin enough to wear with my work shoes.
