At first I wasn't sure about these. I didn't know if they would be warm enough. They are. And so comfy! My one complaint is that they get little balls on the sock fabric after washer/dryer and even with a clean house there is floor lint that shows on the bottoms. Other than that though I love these lightweight but thicker long socks with my rain boots or around the house. Not sure if these will last a year with wash and wear.
