There's not much to these. I guess I was expecting them to be more like slippers than socks. They're soft and warm, but don't come up over the ankle and don't have much of a sole, so the bottom gets dirty. In addition, at the risk of sounding all "Princess and the Pea", there is non-skid writing on the bottom and it makes them feel lumpy walking on bare floors. They'll do for now but I'll still be in the market for something slightly more substantial. In addition, I wear a size 9 shoe so I bought the L (9-10) size and they just barely fit.
