These socks are a little scratchy, but I don't notice it while I'm wearing them. They are a little thin, which I like. I have thick wool socks for winter and I wanted something lighter for summer. I love wool socks because my feet don't stink when I wear them and I don't have to wash them as often. I've only been wearing them for a few weeks, so i don't know how durable they will be. I wash and dry them in the regular wash so they get balls of lint on them and they will probably wear out faster, but it's convenient. I have thick legs and a lot of socks are too tight, these fit fine. I wear a size 9 1/2 in women's and they fit fine.
