These are very nice wool blend socks at a very good price.  I bought them for a ski trip in Whistler Blackcomb in British Columbia Canada and it was cold. I wore two pairs of these socks and they were great.  They did not slip down, and they were generally warm enough.  There were a few moments of cold feet, but eventually my feet warmed up sufficiently.  The socks were comfortable and did not irritate my skin like some wool socks do.  I am very happy to have had these socks for this ski trip in Canada.  And I can tell you, Canada is so very expensive, to buy socks like this up there would be twice as much, or even more.
