These socks are good and thick, but the elastic in the ankle is too strong and too tight.  I don't have thick ankles (I really don't, not yet at least), and these socks are uncomfortable.  In this same order, I also bought Gold Toe Women's 3-Pack Comfort Crew Athletic Sock.  The Gold Toe are great: good thickness, snug but not too tight in the ankle, my new go-to sock for my morning 40-minute treks. I'm going to give away the Champion socks next time there is a charity pick-up in my neighborhood.
