I've purchased Thorlo socks for years, they're always comfortable and last a long time. These hiking socks are no exception. I mostly wear them around the house, but they'd be good for tramping on cold days. You probably wouldn't want to use them on warm days as your feet could get quite warm. The thorlo light hiking socks are better for warm days.

Edit six months later. These socks wore through quite quickly after I wore them as house socks without shoes or slippers. They'll have to be discarded. They're probably great for their intended purpose, wearing inside tramping boots as they'll get far less rubbing, but I can't recommend them as house socks.
