I'd never expected to love these socks as much as I do. My city apartment is cold, even when the "heater" is up full blast, and it's difficult to concentrate on work with frozen feet, so I thought I'd give these a try. Wearing these is like having pillows on your feet, they're wonderfully soft, thick and warm. The only downside is that they pill very easily (after one wash) and they are slightly tough to wear with shoes since they're significantly thicker than regular socks. However, they're great for wearing at home and I want a second pair just because they're wonderfully cozy. Highly recommend.
