LIXIA Men's Thin Merino Wool Crew Socks Winter Warm Breathable

These are pretty warm for thinner socks. Almost like dress socks, but much warmer. MOSTLY marino wool, but a small amount of spandex keeps them up and comfortable overall. The spandex also helps limit shrinking, which happens sometimes with wool in too hot of a dryer.

Best socks I've ever owned! Not tight, but don't slip down from calf. Very comfortable, and warm with no bulk. And they look good for formal wear. Only downside is they recommend hand washing. I washed in cold water on delicate cycle and they came out fine.

Good quality, feel great on my feet.

These seem like terrific socks—4 star so far with high hopes. They look high quality, feel nice to the touch, and are comfortable. I have the navy and the medium grey. I’ll likely get the light grey soon. I have been rotating two pairs of socks for the last week or so in casual leather boots and on hikes with trail runners (and Microspikes, in the December Boulder Flatirons). These socks are nice and thin, almost like a softer Smartwool PHD Ultralight. I love me some PHD Ultralights! and am only saying that, to me, these are—wonderfully—not thickly padded or bulky in the toes, like so many hiking socks. I am not expecting them to be Smartwool bombproof. (Although they do use similar wool and poly content.) The sizing and stretchability of these socks works for me. In Saucony and Adidas trail runners I am 10.5 and wear xl SW socks—I have sensitive big toes and like some extra toe room. These dress socks fit 8/10 for my carnsarned persnickity gollamajiggy left big toe (like my PHDs fit me) and 9/10 overall. So a normal human will love them! The band that holds them on the calf is a bit too snug, but I roll them over once and down two inches, and they fit like short crew socks, which I really like, and they stay like that all day. They look like the wool mountain biking socks I like to wear. In fact the medium grey is black inside, so when you roll them down there is a banded effect, and they look like intentionally striped socks. (I hope the light grey have the same effect.) They do not slide down over the course of a hike. They are a little slippery against the sock liners in the trail runners I have worn, but I have had no issues at all while hiking. (I even carried a backup pair of PHDs on both hikes and never thought about switching out!) One icy hike was in waterproof Adidas and Microspikes, and my socks were barely damp afterward—very good for me for hiking socks. If half of these socks last a year in my sock rotation, and I believe they will, I will be very happy. I have not washed them yet—gross but awesomely not gross—and plan to alternately machine and hand wash and always air dry, like all my lovely SW and Icebreaker stuff. If they fall apart and break my heart, I will be back. To spill the details. And seek revenge. Don’t sleep on these sheep. Edit: I have put a couple months of daily wear and many trail miles into these wool blend socks, and I am still very happy with them. I did chew up the heel of one sock on a hike recently, due to a little bit of poor shoe fitting exacerbated by the weight of Microspikes. The heel pilled pretty badly, but there are no holes. One sock out of 12, pretty good ratio. Some pilling in friction areas of many socks, but well within reason.

Warm in the winter and (somehow) cool in the summer. I only ware merino wool socks. In extreme cold double them up and they will likely be warmer than poor fitting rag wool socks. Will likely last about 100 wares / washings.

Absolutely love these. They are very thin but have lasted well for work in shoes that aren’t extra roomy. Wash well and no weird spots that rub. Stayed very black

Socks have a great fit, are comfortable, warm and feel thick enough for cold weather bit they develop fuzzy balls badly (this after the first use)

My feet tend towards 'always cold' especially when working around the barns or sitting still on the sofa. They can literally stay very cold to the touch after 20 minutes or more in bed at night. These socks are comfortable - I wear a size 10-11 WIDE women's so bought these naturally wider men's socks. Being wool, they wick away any moisture, too. My feet stay warm in my barn boots, my barefoot shoes and my bed, no sweating either! Happy feet.
