Now, I will say that this is not a super thick sock, but I don't mind that I can wear them with boots that are a little tighter. However, despite being thinner, these are extremely warm. I've worn them when it was literally freezing cold outside and they were perfect. And, despite being wool, they are not itchy. Lastly, they are the perfect length to wear with my tall boots and have them out below the knee. With all that, what's not to love?
