SockShop Ladies Gentle Bamboo Socks with Smooth Toe Seams in Plain and Striped Designs Pack of 3

Soft material, good size, well made. Wash well. So nice, I've ordered some more

Great, soft fabric, foot shaped and a good navy (not too dark). Wash well. The tops of the socks are quite loose, which I like. I don’t like tight socks that leave a mark round your leg when you take them off. These don’t d9 that, but they aren’t so loose that they droop down at the ankle.

I like the softness and the ability to get them onto fly feet . Very pleased .

These are really nice socks, and feel really good quality. At first, I thought they weren't gentle grip at all, because they have the normal, narrow strip of elastic at the top, but after having worn them, I would say they are far gentler than normal socks, but not fully gentle grip. My legs swell up, so I need socks that don't leave deep ridges in my legs - these do leave a slight ridge, but are comfortable to wear and stay up well while being comfortable. The toe seam is also very smooth and barely noticeable. I like bamboo socks, as the material is nice and smooth, and washes and wears well. I think the antibacterial thing might be a bit of a gimmick, as once processed, I've read bamboo looses its antibacterial properties, but it's a greener option than cotton, so I also prefer bamboo for that reason. However, while these are very nice socks, at £3 per pair, they're £1 more per pair than other bamboo socks I bought that were of comparable quality, and those also had a more comfortable top than these, so I personally prefer the other socks to these. But if you're more worried about them staying up (both stay up well for me) while still having comfortable elastic, then these are probably the ones to go for.. They're made of 75% viskose (from bamboo), 22% polyester and 3% elastane, which is a slightly lower elastane content than most bamboo socks and wash at 40 degrees. I have to say that the material of these does feel extra-smooth, when compared to other bamboo socks, but for me, that's not really worth the extra £1 per pair that these cost (especially as the elastic at the top is less comfortable, as said above). The size is quite generous, I wouldn't actually say they're too large for my size 5 feet, but I have to make sure I don't stretch them out fully when putting them on, otherwise, the heel won't sit in the right place, but halfway up my leg. They come up to a standard height for ankle socks. Overall, am pleased with these, and would recommend them, depending on where your priorities lie. If it's the really smooth fabric and the very smooth toe seam, and you don't mind paying a bit extra for that, then these are the ones to go for, plus if you want socks that will definitely stay up, while still being gentler grip than most, then I would recommend these. If you want a really gentle grip, and would prefer to pay a bit less for good bamboo socks, there are better options, I would say.. I have attached photos: if they look grey or whitish, that's my lighting, they are deep black in colour.

Very comfortable socks. Medium weight, they wear well. Nice colours. True to size

These socks feel so soft and the smooth toe seam is great BUT they don't stay up when wearing them.

These are such nice socks, very comfortable.

Lovely and soft and no seams. Will buy again.
