I’ve had these socks for about 3 weeks. They’re wool. They’re warm. I wear a size 10 shoe. I bought a large pair of these socks and they fit loosely. They’re big. I’ve read the reviews and people complain of holes and call them “garbage.” Here’s the deal: I would never in a million years wear these socks out on the town. They don’t feel like everyday socks. Nope. I wear them around the house like slippers. Approaching them like this, you’ll find that they 1. Are very warm 2. Are very comfortable 3. Are perfectly durable. Think of them like little sweaters for your feet. You wouldn’t grind away a sweater and rub it against the ground all over the city, right? Makes sense. If you buy these little sweaters for your feet to be worn around the house, you’ll enjoy them as much as I do. I love them. I’ll buy another pair. If a hole eventually opens up… consider darning them! If you don’t want to do that, buy polyester.
