I just love these socks I have tried many other brands the expensive one too but these are by far the best I have ever worn I have them in nearly every colour an will be ordering more. They are so warm and wash well I work with working cocker spaniels and am out in the fields every day I have a wider calf and wellies are uncomfortable for me so I wear a short ankle boot with these socks pulled up and they are great I would not buy anything else now . My dog accident got hold of one of my socks and torn it I didn’t have the heart to throw it away which I normally would do with any other sock so I purchased a sewing kit and mended it and it’s all good and continue to wear them I have 8 pairs and still want more the colours are just amazing a big 5 stars and a big THANKYOU
