Nice quality wool sock.
Nice quality wool sock. My new favorite. The price is reasonable. They are a medium weight hiking sock suitable for 3 seasons. They stay up well. Very soft and comfortable. And they look nice. I bought both the quarter sock and the crew sock.I bought a 3 pack of the quarter socks in Taupe and those are great for my ankle height boots. They extend about three inches above my ankle. They end right about at the top of my heavy over-the-ankle boots.I also bought a 3 pack of the crew length socks in Olive. Those are great for use with my heavy over-the-ankle hiking boots. They extend up to mid-calf on me, a 6'0" tall guy. They seem to stay up well and they are very comfortable on my 17" circumference calf muscles where some socks have been uncomfortably tight.The quarter socks would look fine with high top sneakers and shorts. The crew socks would look fine with jeans or casual wear and a pair of shoes or boots.I've tossed all my cotton and synthetic socks and replaced them with some form of wool for the moment. I want to see how wool handles sweat and wear as well as stink in day to day life.Edit 3/21/2017: I was happy enough with my initial order of these low cut wool socks that I went back and ordered a second set of three in the olive green color and I ordered a set of three of the crew length in taupe. These will be my hiking socks for spring / summer / fall. I plan to use them daily also to see how wool is in warm weather.

Great Quality and Excellent Value...
Great quality and a great value! I own a few pairs of Darn Tough socks which I use for skiing/hiking etc and they're excellent, best socks I've owned. I would have liked to replace the entire contents of my sock drawer with Darn Tough socks but they're EXPENSIVE! I can't afford to. I explored other options and came across these. Looked nice but there weren't many reviews on them. I took my chances and ordered 4 packages (dozen pairs total). $25 is pretty expensive for 3 pairs of socks, but for 3 pairs of real Merrino wool socks that are well made it's not bad at all. Plus, as I mentioned, it's way cheaper than other brands.I'm impressed with what appears to be very good quality workmanship and they are OH SO COMFY as soon as you put them on. I've been wearing them daily from outside in the cold and all day at work where it's way too warm. Due to the natural ability of wool to thermoregulate, my feet have been super comfy (and don't smell).I'm happy I bought these and have no regrets about buying so many, I'll be wearing them all day everyday for the most part. Time will tell how well they hold up but I see no reason to suspect the durability will be anything less than excellent. I'll be sure to update if I see anything worth adding but for now these are very highly recommended!!!

Great sock
I purchased this sock for both me and my husband for our Colorado raft trip. I'm so pleased with this sock! I've been wearing it for walking, cycling, the gym, and yoga with various types of shoes. Its very comfortable, has a little stretch, stays in place on my foot. I was on the line between buying medium or large as I wear a women's 11 and men's 9. I bought the medium and it fits perfectly for my wide foot. The package lists sizes S/P 1-5, M/M 5-9, L/G 8-12, XT/TG 13-16

I did this experiment twice with great results.
These are great socks. I wear a mens size 8.5-9 shoe. I purchased the medium because I don't like it when my socks bunch up in my shoe. I washed them and they got real small. However they stretch right back. They fit perfect. My feet usually get sweaty and smells. I live in Hawaii and work in an air conditioned office. I usually purchase the cheap cotton socks. This is my first pair of wool socks. Never going cheap again. I usually spray my feet with foot spray powder and my feet are still clammy and stink at the end of the day with the old cotton socks.I did this experiment twice with the same results. The first time it was the weekend, I wore a pair of these wool socks (without the foot spray) all day. Very, very, very slight smell, feet felt great. I let them air dry and I wore them the next day (again , no foot spray) and at the end of the day my feet felt great with very, very slight smell. (yup, one less very) I repeated this experiment going to work 2 days with the same results. When I say "slight smell", I mean put your nose in them, not sniff from 6 inches away.Now, I wash my socks after every use but I read online that wool socks can be air dried. So I thought I'd test it. Very happy with these socks. Highly recommended for cotton sock people with smelly feet.

NOT TOO THIN NOR TOO THICK - JUST RIGHT!
I was looking for a hiking sock for the spring and summer seasons that was not too thin or too thick and made of wool. These are perfect for that as I would categorize these a medium weight that leans more toward light than heavy.They do not bunch up and stay snug for miles. I did need to adjust to the arch support; it is a "squeeze" you notice when you first put the sock on, but after walking around for a few minutes it feels really good.I plan to buy more. I would like to see the same sock in a medium weight that leans toward heavy for those times I would a little more cushion.God bless all of you!

Nice, Comfy, Thick, Dry, NOT Smothering
Very nice socks. I wear a men’s size 9 shoe and the 5-9 fit perfect. I believe there is plenty of stretch for give or sizing down. This is my second time ordering. Wearing them in the heat at about 90* Fahrenheit kept my feet cooler than cotton in vented hikers. It will probably be my go to socks from now on.

Better than REI socks
I wear these riding my motorcycle in the summer with my waterproof boots to help absorb sweat and not stink up my boots. Seriously these are better than my REI socks, especially for the price. While REI are softer to the touch, these feel more durable and a bit thicker. No foot stink and I've been wearing them regularly for two months. About to go on a trip to Thailand and I'm about to buy two more sets for my hiking boots.
