I invested in all four colors of these socks after a long search here at Amazon where I was looking for thermal womens socks.  I am sorry to say that the socks themselves, while well made and in attractive colors, are, well, not worth the money.  My biggest problem with them is that, even after washing in hot water, the socks are too large and just do not fit well.  I am spoiled by my SmartWool socks that I had been looking to supplement, and, as I needed a number of pairs of socks, buying a dozen pair of SmartWool ones was just not in the picture.  I am wearing the socks though --  just not on their own.  I am wearing them over my SmartWool ones as I still need to wear two pairs of socks to keep my feet warm.  For the price that I paid for this dozen pair, I would have only been able to get two pair of SmartWool ones.  So, as I still need to wear two pairs of socks to keep warm, and they do fit over thick, bulky socks, I will continue to wear them while I save up the $$$ for a few more pair of SmartWools.
