This is an update. I commented favorably when the socks first arrived because of their beautiful presentation. Now that I have actually worn the socks, I still give them five stars because they fit beautifully, they are not too thick,  they never crawl, they are very attractive, and best of all, they keep my feet warm!  The only drawback is that the manufacturer recommends handwashing and line drying to preserve the elasticity of the socks. Ive done that so far, but I am tempted to try the washing machine and dryer on delicate.
