Alvada 80% Merino Wool Hiking Socks Thermal Warm Crew Winter Boot Sock for Men & Women 3 Pairs

These socks are thick, and very warm; they have saved my toes this winter. The problem is, I ordered by the description which says M-L is for women shoe size 9.5-12. That's wrong; it's for MEN shoe size 9.5-12, and women size 11-13. The picture shows my regular sock for size 10 shoe, and these socks size M-L.

From Minnesota, these are the socks that I wear all winter. Since I live in a log cabin with only a crawlspace basement, our floors get cold. I wear these (inside slippers) all winter and they are great.NOTE ON DURABILITY: When I walk around WITHOUT my slippers on, just these socks, they wear out FAST. As in a pair a week fast, almost as fast as cotton does (we have 125 year old floors that are kind of rough). Wearing them inside footwear, such as slippers or boots (as they are designed to be used), they work great. Very durable. I will admit I have had wool socks that lasted a bit longer, but at the expense of massive itching.As another note: wool socks (these included) are SLIPPERY on carpeted steps. Just watch out if you are not familiar with wool.Anyway, great price, great socks, picking up 2 orders this time to get me through the winter.

These socks aren't like the cheap cotton socks you get at the big box stores. If you take care of them, in other words wear house slippers and don't wash them on hot with softener then they truly will be the best piece of clothing you will ever own. I wear them on hot and cold days, with boots and with sneakers. I suffer from really sweaty feet, they will start sweating if I get excited playing video games. Hell, they're sweaty right now! But these anti-bacterial socks are so dope I can wear them 2 days in a row without a problem (unimaginable without merino wool). Now about Alvada Socks in particular. I don't know why some people have problems, I assume they walk with them on around the house that's probably 90% carpet which will screw up any fabric. I own 8 pairs(gave a pair to my brother) of these and are the only socks I wear.

I have the amazing naturally ability to soak through socks and shoes in 30 minutes. Don't be jealous. I have been looking for socks to help with this issue and have tried just about everything, wool, cotton, Under Armor, Copper, Synthetic, dress socks under will socks. I have tried all types of foot wear also, tennis shoes, running shoes, hiking shoes and boots. No matter what I tried nothing changed. Then I bought a pair of leather uninsulated cowboy boots, and 24 pairs of Alvada Socks. I have never had such comfort in all of my life. Even after 16 hours with this combination, my feet were dry. I thought they would be hot due to the thickness of these socks but was wrong. The only criticism I have is that the tops of the socks slouch a little through the day, I may be sensitive to this since I have work clan high socks for a few years. This will not keep me from ordering more!

I bought the smallest pair they had of the 2 sizes. They say from size 6 to 10.5 for women. I am an 8.5-9 and these socks are horribly big. I pulled them way high to get them to fit the toe and the heel was at my ankle height. They were so comfortable I thought," hey this might work," NOT!!!!. I tried them in my boots and went outside for no more than 5 min. and the socks fell down. If not for my husband deciding he would keep them,I would be sending these back. He wears a size 10 men shoes and fit him perfectly. On a positive note, the socks arrived early than expected. With the pictures, I am trying to show how much they are too big. I tried curling the excess up.

These are very thick socks! I purchased these for my husband to use for boots when hunting and also for cold nights when he complains about being cold. He loved them.I even tried them out for a night when it was chilly. Of course they were too big for my feet (woman's size 7.5), but they did keep my feet warm and worked great on my cold tile floor keeping my feet cozy.Keep in mind these are very thick so you need to wear shoes that would allow for the extra bulk. Also, wash in cold water and allow to air dry. If you put these in the dryer they will shrink. They do dry very fast though. This was a great purchase and bargain for 3 pairs of socks of such great quality. I would definitely recommend these for wearing with boots, lounging around or sleeping on cold nights.

I own an exterior remodeling company so I work outdoors during the winter months and i also play and coach hockey, for this reason i needed a durable sock that doesn't loose elasticity. According to reviews this was the sock for me. Well, THEY ARE NOT AT ALL LIKE DESCRIBED IN PREVIOUS REVIEWS.2 of 6 pairs had bad seam work out of the package, and a 3rd pair is now becoming un-seamed. They never had good elasticity, all 6 pairs, and they are marketed as "hiking" socks, well hiking socks should stay up the whole time, these are no different than what I can buy at a wal mart or k mart. I would have never bought these if not describe as they were which is my biggest complaint, I can care less if you have a crappy product but I was Bamboozled by reviews and description.

I have been wearing Merino Wool socks almost every day for a long long time. I think these Alvada socks are the best. They wear well and do not get the annoying strings inside that catch your toes when you are putting them on. I just completed a side by side of another brand in the same price range. The Alvada Socks are still in my fleet and the other brand is in the trash. When I first got these socks a year or so ago they seemed to small for a large. However I have got used to the snug fit and appreciate that they stay up when I wear my Bean Boots out in the snow. I have just started wearing the short version of these in my tennis shoes and my concerns over the extra bulk were wrong. They are my favorite sock when walking or riding my bike and my high dollar athletic socks will be given away. I suggest you try these socks and see how well a good sock feels on your feet.

Bought these for 2 week trip in Norway during Christmas. These socks were soft and thick enough to wear with my winter boots. Definitely helped my feets from the cold in the minus 15 snowy temperature. If you have small feets, you should be careful because my size is 6.5 and these were definitely too big even I chose the smallest size.The reason of 3 star is due to its durability. It came with many lint balls after I washed them during this trip. Even though it was the first time to use them. I was hoping more durable quality, not for a one time use. Also the package arrived with ripped sacket which was a little disappointing. Hence the overall review score. They are fine and comfortable if you are aiming for an affordable short term use.

Extremely comfortable and warm. They wash well.

En definitiva... No son de lana, una catástrofe de compra. No lo hagan, vayan por un de merrell u otra marca.
