AIvada 80% Merino Wool Hiking Socks Thermal Warm Crew Winter Sock for Men & Women 3 Pairs

From Minnesota, these are the socks that I wear all winter. Since I live in a log cabin with only a crawlspace basement, our floors get cold. I wear these (inside slippers) all winter and they are great.NOTE ON DURABILITY: When I walk around WITHOUT my slippers on, just these socks, they wear out FAST. As in a pair a week fast, almost as fast as cotton does (we have 125 year old floors that are kind of rough). Wearing them inside footwear, such as slippers or boots (as they are designed to be used), they work great. Very durable. I will admit I have had wool socks that lasted a bit longer, but at the expense of massive itching.As another note: wool socks (these included) are SLIPPERY on carpeted steps. Just watch out if you are not familiar with wool.Anyway, great price, great socks, picking up 2 orders this time to get me through the winter.

These socks aren't like the cheap cotton socks you get at the big box stores. If you take care of them, in other words wear house slippers and don't wash them on hot with softener then they truly will be the best piece of clothing you will ever own. I wear them on hot and cold days, with boots and with sneakers. I suffer from really sweaty feet, they will start sweating if I get excited playing video games. Hell, they're sweaty right now! But these anti-bacterial socks are so dope I can wear them 2 days in a row without a problem (unimaginable without merino wool). Now about Alvada Socks in particular. I don't know why some people have problems, I assume they walk with them on around the house that's probably 90% carpet which will screw up any fabric. I own 8 pairs(gave a pair to my brother) of these and are the only socks I wear.

These are very thick socks! I purchased these for my husband to use for boots when hunting and also for cold nights when he complains about being cold. He loved them.I even tried them out for a night when it was chilly. Of course they were too big for my feet (woman's size 7.5), but they did keep my feet warm and worked great on my cold tile floor keeping my feet cozy.Keep in mind these are very thick so you need to wear shoes that would allow for the extra bulk. Also, wash in cold water and allow to air dry. If you put these in the dryer they will shrink. They do dry very fast though. This was a great purchase and bargain for 3 pairs of socks of such great quality. I would definitely recommend these for wearing with boots, lounging around or sleeping on cold nights.

I have the amazing naturally ability to soak through socks and shoes in 30 minutes. Don't be jealous. I have been looking for socks to help with this issue and have tried just about everything, wool, cotton, Under Armor, Copper, Synthetic, dress socks under will socks. I have tried all types of foot wear also, tennis shoes, running shoes, hiking shoes and boots. No matter what I tried nothing changed. Then I bought a pair of leather uninsulated cowboy boots, and 24 pairs of Alvada Socks. I have never had such comfort in all of my life. Even after 16 hours with this combination, my feet were dry. I thought they would be hot due to the thickness of these socks but was wrong. The only criticism I have is that the tops of the socks slouch a little through the day, I may be sensitive to this since I have work clan high socks for a few years. This will not keep me from ordering more!

I have been wearing Merino Wool socks almost every day for a long long time. I think these Alvada socks are the best. They wear well and do not get the annoying strings inside that catch your toes when you are putting them on. I just completed a side by side of another brand in the same price range. The Alvada Socks are still in my fleet and the other brand is in the trash. When I first got these socks a year or so ago they seemed to small for a large. However I have got used to the snug fit and appreciate that they stay up when I wear my Bean Boots out in the snow. I have just started wearing the short version of these in my tennis shoes and my concerns over the extra bulk were wrong. They are my favorite sock when walking or riding my bike and my high dollar athletic socks will be given away. I suggest you try these socks and see how well a good sock feels on your feet.

The title says it all. I had been buying cheap cotton socks from the store. My feet were beginning to hurt at my new job where I stand most of the (8-10 hour-long) day. These socks make a very noticeable difference. Most of the time, my feet don't hurt at all and if they do, it's minimal; much less than before.Treat your feet right and get some nice socks like these. The only negative is they have the branding, Alvada Socks, on the left side of the foot. To me, that makes them maybe 4.75 stars instead of 5, but for the price they are still the best Merino wool socks I've ever seen.

I bought the smallest pair they had of the 2 sizes. They say from size 6 to 10.5 for women. I am an 8.5-9 and these socks are horribly big. I pulled them way high to get them to fit the toe and the heel was at my ankle height. They were so comfortable I thought," hey this might work," NOT!!!!. I tried them in my boots and went outside for no more than 5 min. and the socks fell down. If not for my husband deciding he would keep them,I would be sending these back. He wears a size 10 men shoes and fit him perfectly. On a positive note, the socks arrived early than expected. With the pictures, I am trying to show how much they are too big. I tried curling the excess up.

These socks are very nice quality for the price. They're a bit different from other hiking socks I've purchased on here. They are thicker and have more stretch to them and overall they seem a tad longer covering higher up the calf. Those are all good things though. I have only worn them a few times so I can't speak for durability/longevity but the stitching seems fine and keeping in mind that it's not the 1930's where you darned your socks and underwear, I replace those things on an ongoing basis as needed so all I expect is a reasonable life span and when I can see through the heels and toes due to wear I replace. I wash them inside out in the machine (gentle like everything) and hang to dry. They are comfy and warm and I'm happy with my purchase. Other than that I wish they were made in USA.
