These are so warm and comfy!! I wear them with or without socks,they keep my feet nice and toasty..My 11 year old niece likes them,but not sure if she would take care of them like i do my things..Kids tend to be rougher on their stuff then some adults. They fit very well and when I can afford another pair I will purchase them..Not sure if friends would wear this print,but it all depends on the person. I like them because they have purple on them (my favorite color)..Thank You Amazon.com for being my new online shopping place..
