I bought these to wear while spending a winter vacation in Minnesota and they definitely were worth it. Now I'm back in California and find that I wear them to work and on weekends. They're very comfortable with just the right amount of wool and nylon.
At least it seemed like they traveled the world since it took three months to get them! But I was willing to wait because I love LL Bean socks. I've tried many other brands and hands down, Bean has the best wool socks on the market. They are comfortable,warm and long lasting.
