AlvadaMerino Wool Hiking Socks Thermal Warm Crew Winter Boot Sock For Men & Women 3 Pairs

My fiancé is a construction worker so these really come in handy for the winter! The quality is amazing, super soft and comforting yet doesn’t make you sweat. Do not tear easy, worth the money. Look and feel good quality.

My husband bought these for hiking in Iceland and he loved them. He felt they were comfortable, warm and good quality. He wears a size 10.5 and these fit great. He liked the neutral color and the overall look of the socks. If we lived somewhere colder he’d definitely buy more of them.

I used to buy the Costco socks that were a high content Merino wool. Last year, they changed the ingredients to be less wool and more recycled fibres, which essentially felt like trash on my hands (I shudder to imagine what hiking in those trash socks would feel like, but I'm guessing it'd be horrid). Defeated after the annual Costco sock run (I'd gone to costco specifically to treat myself to a new pair of socks-a tradition I indulge in every year, much to the chagrin of my burgeoning sock drawer). So...I did the next logical thing and took to Amazon looking for a high percentage wool sock that would meet my needs... i.e. keeping my feet cosy and warm. These socks fit the bill and then some. Not only are they a high percentage wool, one of the highest available on the Internet to buy, they're also an amazing price. Upon putting the socks on my feet, I realised that this was no ordinary wool sock. These socks were softer and more durable than even the Costco socks, which I've been obsessed with for many years. The real test happens in the wash. You see, I'm rather lazy and never bother to separate out the regular washes. Everything goes in at the same time and goes into the dryer for a good hot tumble round. These socks were unaffected by this, remained soft and cosy, and have continued to outperform any sock I've ever owned. I'm writing this review about 1 year after buying. They remain in near new condition in terms of softness, warmth, and durability. No holes or irritating seams, or weird shrinkages to be found. They fit well to the foot. I've put these socks through the paces, as I wear wool socks year round, due to my ridiculously cold feet. Hiking, farm work, gardening, camping, and walking around in them have not done a thing to them. Coming from a sock connoisseur who's done an immense amount of research, these socks are it. So much so that I'm coming back here, a year later, to write this review and buy more. So if you're looking for a sign....here it is. Buy these socks. You won't regret it. Buy them for your adult friends....because nothing beats getting a high quality and high wool content sock.

I really like these socks. They are soft, warm and thick. They are not itchy (I have sensitive skin and anything with wool usually really irritates my skin but these socks apparently have enough other material to counteract the itchiness of the wool content). They are not some shapeless bulky tube socks, though they’re thick so they do have more bulk than your typical sock. You can’t have true warmth without some bulk. These conform to your feet in all the right places. I noticed a few little threads that were loose but trimmed them off. I purchased them on sale and my only regret is that I didn’t buy more than one package while they were on sale and save myself some money. They are kind of pricey when not on sale but this is coming from an admitted penny pincher. I wish that they were organic, comprised of completely natural materials and locally made. (Let’s be honest, despite looking, I don’t think I have found locally made socks or shoes in ages). I also wish that they had some more attractive color options but I’m pleased with them to the point that I wouldn’t hesitate to purchase them again. Especially since the quality of the Puma brand socks I have been buying for years seems to be rapidly declining. These seem to be much sturdier and are definitely thicker and warmer than anything the Puma brand offers. I am a woman who wears size 8 1/2 to 9 shoes and the smaller size offered here fits me perfectly. If you’re on the fence, get yourself some, especially if they are on sale.Update: after wearing these for a while I noticed that the band/cuff at the top is rather on the tight side. I have average calves not large and they squeeze to the point that I am left with deep indentations on my calves when I remove the socks. Also they are showing worn/thin spots on the bottoms after a winter’s light use. Not as durableas I had hoped they would be. Still usable but wish these two issues weren’t a thing.

I grabbed these socks last minute before a trip to Big Bear, and wow, what a lifesaver! The cold was no joke, but these socks kept us warm and cozy the entire time. They come in a pack of three, which is super convenient. The material is incredibly soft, and they’re built for serious warmth. If you’re looking for socks that deliver on both comfort and heat, stop searching and add these to your cart! Highly recommend!
