I love wool socks...only thing that keeps my feet truely warm..These were nice but a little thinner material which was fine as my feet are warm and can still put my boots on. I have a size 7 foot and they ran a little tight tho....so, I'm not sure why. I got the correct size. I would size up next time possibly. I do not like that elastic around my ankles and these do not bind my legs. They do run a tad short...and do not go up the leg very far. They do not ride down, which is great. I would buy again/affordable and warm for wool.
