People were right about these. I should've listened to other reviews. They shed like crazy, and the problem is that the shed fur doesn't just fall off so you can shake them out, clean up the mess and move on, but rather, it sticks to the socks, like that old gag where the guy gets tape stuck to one hand, then the other, then his foot, etc. You will feel like that guy. I'm scare to let these socks out of the bag again...
