I am not impressed with these socks. They are "just socks" - nothing special about them. They are so-so in the warmth department; I thought they'd be warmer, having wool in them. They are, IMO, outrageously expensive - and I would never pay $17 for 2 pairs of socks! I had a $10-free coupon, so I paid only $7. Even at that price - well, I won't be disappointed when they wear out.
These are THE best wool socks I have ever owned. They are thick, warm, and durable. I have searched a long time to find the right socks for me. I will order these reguarly from now on. Thank-you LLBean for selling quality socks. I will also be checking your site from now on for more quality items.
