"I just love everything about my socks"

"Great colors, but too long for me; had to return them. My lower leg is 13" anklebone to kneecap and these are +1" too long so don't work for me. Otherwise would be very comfortable for cold outdoor activities."
— Beth C. (5/5)
"So Cute!! They are extremely light weight, perfect for my cowboy boots, yes I know they are for skiing. Part I love is that they do not fall down during the day and my boots do not rub my legs."
— Kellie B. (5/5)
"Perfect ski sock…. thin but warm…supportive arch…. comfortably supportive stretch in the calf."
— Nick S. (5/5)
"Great sock to wear with high boots. Yay Darn Tough!"
— Amy P. (5/5)
"The thickness of the socks is amazing! Fits perfectly in a ski boot and doesn’t slip. The problem is the length. I am only 5’2 and the socks come completely over my knee. Yes, ski socks are typically long on me but it’s not common that they fit like a thigh-high. I think you’d need to be over 5’10 for them to fit appropriately."

"These socks are wonderful. However, they could have more stretch as they cause “dents” at my knees, they are so tight. I won’t be able to wear them unfortunately."
— Sharon B. (4/5)
"These socks are great for long walks in the fall and winter, not just for snowboarding! The calf length keeps me warm and toasty!"
— Karen S. (5/5)
"A bit tight at the top, great otherwise."
