Perfect socks for me! Softest wool, Warm and roomy without too much bulk inside my shoes. Amazing, they do NOT shrink out of fit in the dryer and they stay as soft as when new. I am a woman, wear size 9-1/2 shoes and the socks fit loosely over my toes which is what I wanted for my sensitive feet. Happy with color but would buy all black if available. I have 6 pairs. When they wear out I will try to find more to buy for this happy camper with warm feet.

These socks were all they were described to be. Thick, soft, comfortable and affordable. Unfortunately each pair would only last through a handful of wearings before the stitching would separate at the heal where two different materials were joined. Even at a fraction of the cost of my Ultimax socks they are no where near the value. My Ultimax would last well over a year as opposed to two or three months max for the Elders. Disappointing!

I bought 6 pairs of these socks in November, and wore them fairly regularly during the winter. By the end of March most of the pairs had holes in them. All of the holes were in the same two places - the seam at the heel or the toe.
So maybe someone will correct me, but I think socks should last at least one season. The only saving grace is that these socks are cheap, so I guess you get what you pay for. Ill be trying another brand next year.

These are soft, not a bit itchy, and have gone through several launderings so far with no sign of shrinkage or wear. They are just big enough to fit my size 12 feet, so if you wear a larger size, youll have to stretch them out a bit to fit. They are just a hair thicker than comparable cotton socks, but they keep my feet plenty warm. Highly recommended!

I though the socks were OK for the price. They are not thick at all, just average. One note through, that these socks are large in size. If you have a size 10 or bigger these socks would fit you but anything under that woulnt fit well at all.

I either received a different type of sock or my perception of "thick" is different than the other reviewers. I have plently of pairs of wool socks and these by far are the thinnest I have ever purchased. The foot portion is thinner than some pairs of cheap athletic socks I own. They are nice for the price, but I just dont understand how any reviewer can say these are "thick" wool socks. I would classify them as relatively "thin" wool socks.
Let me repeat, these arent bad socks, they actually are very nice and have worked great for me with a pair of tight fighting boots I own. I just want to make people aware that these are not the "thick" wool socks some people envision prior to purchasing.

These socks are actually very attractive, and the price just cannot be beat. I washed them for the first time this week, and they came out looking like new. No complaints here.

When I first saw this offer last year, I couldnt believe it was genuine. I was used to paying $10 to $15 a pair for wool socks. When they arrived, I still found it hard to believe. But these are excellent quality socks that have held up well through heavy use and lots of washings. The three pair are serving well alongside their far more expensive drawer-mates. Its hard to imagine someone getting excited by a pair of socks, but these are worth getting excited about. I agree that a color other than gray would help to stretch these socks further in my wardrobe, but for the price... I aint complainin!

Socks seem like a strange kind of thing on which to write a review, but these socks are special. I placed an order for a friend of mine who runs a soup kitchen in Poplar Bluff Missouri. It was an order of about 60 pairs of these socks which probably seemed pretty strange to the people at Sportsmans Guide, but they sent them anyway. I didnt think much about it until I got an e-mail from Joni, the lady in Poplar Bluff, that the socks had arrived.She told me that you would think that the socks were made of gold the way the people at her free store responded to them. They had NEVER seen such socks!! They were soft and they were thick and warm. Most of them had never even heard of wool socks. Now I dont think twice about wool socks because I love them but it gave me real pause to think that there were people who had never even heard of such a wonderful thing. These people couldnt believe that someone would just give them something this good. Yes, this good. So if youre thinking of buying some of these why dont you get an extra pair or two and give them to someone who needs them. It will be an education, I promise, and your gift will reward you many times over when you experience the gratitude such a small thing can evoke.

I ordered these socks for my Mothers birthday and she absolutely loves them. They are thick and warm, perfect for cold Indiana winters. Thank you.

I like the thicknesss of the socks and because of this, I know theyll be warm enough for anything that the snow has to offer. I would really like these socks if they came in a variety of colors; grey is not a very exciting color, however; as long as youre warm, who cares about excitement.
