I ordered these socks for a 2 year old, who loses socks. Who wears the heck out of them. I was surprised at how soft these socks were. AND very thick. They look hard to wear out. I hope he doesn't lose them before they wear out. I  bought 12 pairs. I will hope for at least one pair to be around for the test of time. He has size 9 or 10 shoe toddler. These are a bit large still, but that is so much preferable to the tight ones he has been wearing, or the socks that are thin, or don't come up much over his ankle. I wish these exact socks were made for women or men in my size. I just love them. I would pay more for the same sock. I bought black, since white socks do not stay white in my home.
