First I thought it was just one pair for the price which lead me to conclude that they would be really thick which is what I wanted but it is a package of 2 pair. (Sometimes descriptions on Amazon are lacking in details.) So thickness was nothing special and socks are not especially soft but ok. I wear size 5-1/2 shoes so regular women's socks are always a little big which these are as well. Also they came up higher on leg than I would consider standard crew length which is what I was looking for also. So for those reasons only 3 stars although overall quality is fine.
