Three cheers for wool socks!

Things they are saying about wool socks from around the interweb: 

Very comfortable; everything I wanted. This sock is a winner.

I buy these for my husband. He's a Railroad Freight Conductor and requires a good, and long-lasting (durable), sock.

Sweet Daisy mother of cream cheese! These socks are the just about the greatest thing ever. If you get cold feet - and here in New England we all do - these babies will keep your tootsies hotter than two shots of 'shine on a Bangor Saturday night. Just a Jim Dandy set of THICK wool socks. 87% wool at that! Even damp and sweaty these socks will retain over 80% of their insulating value because that is just the way wool works. Mother natures natural cold weather wonder - you ever see a sheep shiver? Not unless it has a nervous condition! I love these socks and I think you will too. A little pricey but worth every last penny.

I am amazed at how comfortable these socks are. I don't usually like socks to be so high on my calves, but I can barely tell that they are on because the inside is so soft. I have worn them in the heat yet my feet aren't hot. Real wool is worth the money.

These socks are nice

... just a telecommuter who gets cold feet in winter. I was actually looking into legwarmers for men, when I found these: They solve the problem. (You might want to buy slippers a size larger, these socks are soft and thick!)

My son said these are warm and comfy

super this is what i wanted

Buy these socks if you want some thick warm socks.

Everyone is complaining that they're tight on the calfs when I read the reviews... I'm a body builder and decided to give it a shot anyways and just gift them if they were too tight. Ordered size 9.5-10 my shoe size(or equivalent forgot exactly might have been a medium or something) I lift 180 lbs on each calf on the leg press machine and it was tight but not even close to cutting off circulation. Will be using these for snowboarding this year, they felt super soft and warm!
