I was somewhat disappointed in these socks. The patterns are pretty, but there is more than just cotton in these socks, and I'm not a fan of nylon when I'm looking for something a little warmer. I was expecting a thicker sock with more cotton. These are fine for fall, but if you are looking for a boot sock with warmth, you might want to keep looking. I chose this brand because I had a pair that lasted two years, warm and fuzzy, and I had hopes of duplicating them. Alas. These are not the same. I doubt they will survive one season.
