WARMTH PRETTY GOOD CUSHION A LITTLE LACKING SIZE ON SMALL SIDEI waited until I had worn and washed these socks a few times before writing a review. The socks were much better that I expected and the cushioning is better and thicker than other socks I have tried. I love walking around the house with these as well as the trips into the attached garage with concrete floors in the winter time and not freezing my feet. Also the merino wool has done well keeping my feet dry. Overall these socks have the most cushioning of any merino wool "quarter sock" that I have tried. Also know that the only other sock that I have found to be my go to quarter sock is the Red Head brand sold by BassPro, but these have now become my go to sock due to the better cushioning.Only decent merino wool sock with a size for a 14 foot. High quality and inexpensive.These are wonderfully comfortable and supportive socks! I got them for a brief hiking trip during a South Carolina summer, hot and humid. After a day hiking through woods, climbing rocks, and walking through and behind a waterfall, I finally called it day because I was beat, not because my feet were hurting. These socks had dried quickly (while I was wearing them) after I had walked through a waterfall several times. They also helped support my arches and helped keep my feet cool and comfortable throughout the long day. As a nice bonus, they even kept the usual foot, umm, odor away so when I removed my hikers it wasn’t necessary to leave them outside to air out!Since that day, I’ve worn them when going for walks and at work and they do a just as great under less strenuous conditions and still look as bright and colorful as when I bought them.I bought these as a last minute Christmas gift. I would have actually returned them in I had time. The socks had some loose/snagged threads in the heal. Other than that they look like decent quality but I don't think they're worth the price.I'm a men's 11.5 they Run big. Got a large as the size chart suggested and I think I'll shirk them on purpose.Still goodThese socks are walking/ hiking Heaven.Photos misleading makes it look like multiple pairs of socks. Just a single pair of socks.Makes it much more expensive per item. I enjoy the socks but expect more than one pair of socks (especially with the photos)
