These aren't my favorite socks in the world. I would not use them for hiking as they are a bit on the loose side. These are cozy and warm around the house socks but I find them falling and sagging here and there. For the price its not bad, but eh- the color is neither brown nor tweed--its kind of an ugly green tan. I have an older pair of these:&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Fox-River-Outdoor-Norwegian-Crew-Heavyweight-Wool-Socks-Large-Brown-Tweed/dp/B000G7V8W6/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Fox River Outdoor Norwegian Crew Heavyweight Wool Socks, Large, Brown Tweed</a>&nbsp;that I much prefer. Maybe its the stretch nylon? I'm not sure. These are just more of a house slipper soccer--sans the grip.
