Sweet Daisy mother of cream cheese! These socks are the just about the greatest thing ever. If you get cold feet - and here in New England we all do - these babies will keep your tootsies hotter than two shots of 'shine on a Bangor Saturday night. Just a Jim Dandy set of THICK wool socks. 87% wool at that! Even damp and sweaty these socks will retain over 80% of their insulating value because that is just the way wool works. Mother natures natural cold weather wonder - you ever see a sheep shiver? Not unless it has a nervous condition! I love these socks and I think you will too. A little pricey but worth every last penny.
