I have perpetually cold feet, even in the summer, so must have warm socks for evenings and mornings. In the past I've used other brands that were more expensive and offered thicker socks. Never again! These socks are wonderful. They arrived super quickly and were packaged in the most beautiful little box, very classy. They warm my feet immediately and keep them warm, despite having less bulk than other brands. They are soooo soft and cozy, with lovely, muted colors, and so far have help up really well! I wasn't sure I would like the grippy traction feature, but now I can't imagine not having it. This is the best value 4-pack of socks I've ever purchased, and they have held up, unlike other brands. These would make a great gift, or just treat yourself to cozy feet. My new favorite sock brand.
