These socks are too short in height. Unless one pulls hard on them they are not the 9" height advertized and even then they settle back to about the 8" they really are. Washing accentuates the problem. They also stand out from my leg. In general, they just don't look good on with too much leg showing and are not comfortable. Sorry I bought them.
I initially bought them for my husband because of his cold feet but he thought they were too bulky...so I took them & absolutely love them. They are warm & very confortable; washable...Great!!
I have been diagnosed with chilblains--no, its not just Victorian heroines who complain of it. My dr. said to wear wool socks until it's 65 outside. I immediately went to LLBean online and ordered the thickest pair I could find. These wool socks are so soft--I was afraid they would be scratchy, but they aren't at all. Such happy, warm feet now.
