Worsted Wool Boot Socks by FoxRiver, 1 Pair

I have been wearing these daily in the winter months for the last 15 years. They are warm, and the tight fitting elastic keeps them up and I have never had an elastic failure on a single sock over that period. They are good for compression, but not so tight, heavy, or bulky that they are uncomfortable. Great looking, durable, keep my feet dry, and wear resistant. In my opinion, they are a good value. Only negative is that the listing said they have a higher amount of wool than the actual product packaging stated. But it was not significant. For those who want to know, it was around 10% less than described, as I recall.

As a mid-sized horse stable owner in SE Michigan, I have purchased and worn these socks every fall through spring for the past 12-13 years. I am addicted to their warmth, fit, and comfort! Absolutely have found no other sock that compares. Through the winter I practically live in a pair 24/7. They are thick, warm and divine. Because these are heavy wool I have found that purchasing winter boots and muck boots a size larger than my normal boot size accommodates wearing these extra heavy socks comfortably for me. My husband wears these in a large and I wear a small. He tends to wear the heels thin with the way he scuffs his feet as he walks, so when the heels of his gets too thin, I sew a seam across the back of them to replace the hole and I can wear them another 2-3 years. I wash these as I would any wool item: in cold water and hang to dry only (clothes pinned on a hanger hanging from the shower rod) and these socks last us several winters being worn and washed weekly!

Worked in concrete construction for 38 years, and farming even longer, burning hot summers and freezing cold winters, their are no better socks for these brutal work environments or anything else. Found this sock years ago when they where 6 dollars a pair, never turned back, absolutely all I wear. Sounds crazy but these socks keep my feet comfortable in the summer and warm in the winter, I mean really warm. The extra padding feels great all year long. My to son's also exclusively wear only these socks. The padding, the feel, the fit, they stay up, thier is no better sock to wear, work or play. If the price go's up to 30 dollars a pair I guess I'll be wearing 30 doller a pair socks. I buy 20 pair at a time, hard to hold on to them everybody in the house wants them, even my wife. These socks are the real thing, if you don't want to pay this much for socks than stay away, because if you buy a pair of these you will be ordering many more for years to come.

Wish they were as thick as the ones I bough years ago, but still awesome socks. Great to wear in the Fall and Winter with my sandals.

Update- 11/2021 when I ordered more-description says 3 pairs only received 1 pair My husband has worn these socks for years & years. They are the warmest socks we have ever found for him because of the higher wool content. He likes them also because they stay up & are higher on his leg than his work boots. I've found if you wash them in cold water, in a garment bag & hang dry they last a lot longer. The only complaint we have is they seem to wear out in the heel much much faster than they used to. If you need a warm sock these are the best ones. They are not as thick as they used to be but still a very good sock

Although a little large (I was in between sizes, and figure they'll shrink, being 84% wool), these socks are so toasty its like they're generating their own heat. Despite not being marino wool or smart wool, nuwool, etc, they aren't too sweaty either, although they are quite thick. Thick socks are warmer, and last years, so for me, that's alright. I only sweat when walking about the house with them without slippers or boots on over them, but with boots on my feet actually sweat LESS. I tried them with a thin below-the-ankle injinji toe-sock liner and no more sweaty feet! Just toasty-warm-goodness. I looked this brand up in REI's website, then went over to Amazon to find them at half the price, only to find I could buy over-the-calf wool socks of the same brand, for the same price as their crew socks! I couldn't miss out on a sock with twice the leg coverage, and so i got 5 pairs! Very happy with them so far. Will see how they hold up to negative degree temps, wet, wind, my loose wrap-around boots and my clunky sub-zero temp snow boots. For now they're just keeping me warm around the house. Hopefully they hold up just as well shoveling snow, and last as long as my REI brand wool socks, 3 of which are 10 years old and still great, barring a small hole or two.

I should say that my husband loves these socks. He is on his feet all day long and must wear steel toe boots or shoe. The regular socks were not cutting the mustard. He used to wear 2 pairs of socks to get some relief. I happened to find these and read all reviews and found all of them to be a must have item. I looked at the price and said lets try them and find out if they are as good. Yes they are and I recommend them to anyone looking for a very good pair of socks that keep the feet warm and comfortable. I know I gave them to the husband for Christmas and then he said were they expensive. I said no. He wore them and then wanted more. I have gotten him almost 2 dozen pair. And yes he is a cheap person and when he say what they cost he said get them anyway. Now this is all he wears even when at home. I do hope that if you need some good socks you can purchase these and you will not be sorry.

Great socks

通算4足目。普段使いは今時のマテリアルの方が快適だと思います。釣りで湖の中に立ち込んだりするとこちらの方の厚い物の方が合っている気がします。

The description advertises 3PAIRS, but only get 1 pair. They are noce socks, but not worth the price you pay for ONE PAIR. IF you did get 3 pair , as advertized, it would be a pretty good deal

The socks are great but I thought I was receiving 3 pairs? Aside from that, they're cozy.

The description at the top of the page says 3 pairs, but buried in the measurements it says 1 count. You only get one pair! Very deceptive. I will update when I've tried them on.
