VihirVihir 3 Pack Men's Thermal 80% Merino Wool Hiking Calf Tube Socks Crew Sock for Skiing, Trekking, Hiking 5.5-8/7.5-10.5

Tony Close.Absolutely brilliant socks. I was given some as a present and they’re so comfortable and warm I’ve bought some more.

I suppose it's the modern online way but every time I find a comfortable sock brand they seem to become rapidly unavailable. Thick merino wool socks are my preferred choice, for work (outdoors) & everyday wear, across all seasons. In my opinion Kingland were the best, so obviously they're no longer easy to find in the Medium size. I then tried the D G Hill equivalent which were approaching the same standard, if a little less finessed. Next time I tried to buy those, what do you know - ''Not currently available''. It's a conspiracy! Then the next ones that come up are these Vihir 80% merino wool crew socks. Worth a try I thought & more or less a comparable price to the previous brands.My first impression on trying them on was that the toe seam seemed a little bulky & threatened to cause irritation to the toes, but having washed them for a first time this appears not to be a problem, even if it does sit further towards the end of the foot. They fit pretty well & I expect they'll tighten up with further washes. They seem warm but I'm not totally convinced by the 80% wool claim, I suspect that there may be a higher synthetic fibre content in them than is shown as they tend to feel sweatier than the other brands. However, I'm pretty pleased with them & will probably buy them again as they're warm, soft & comfortable, and at the moment, available.

Size was good on these I like the way they cushion my feet they're good thickness to some of the others that I've brought would happily buy again good value for money

Great socks comfy and warm.5 star for meWhen new these socks are were very big and very stretchy.They have now been washed a few times, They have shrunk and they are no longer stretchy.They are now a perfect fit for me. I am a size 9. Anyone with bigger than size 9 feet would have problems.Hence the 4 star rating

Good socks, keeps my feet warmer on the bike than other socks I own, which is where I use them most. Expensive for a somewhat lacklustre quality control. One of the socks had a hole in it when it arrived. When I contacted the suppliers, they refused to provide another socks. They offered a partial refund but did not follow up on this. Left unsatisfied.Edit: was refunded for the price of 1 pair - about 8 pounds.Edit 2: Have since bought another pair of these as they are definitely my favourite socks in my wardrobe. They last quite a while, a little over a year, before developing holes, usually around the ball of the foot which is where socks always get holes for me. My second pair came without any defects, I assume the first time was just a once off, and they did end up giving me a refund, so I am changing my rating to 5 stars. Would definitely recommend these, they're really cosy, and give a food amount of material around your feet, which you notice if you wear boots/cycling shoes.

I initially bought 3 pairs last winter, immediately bought 3 more when I liked them so much. Just visiting the page again a year later to buy 3 more pairs.They're warm, cosy, very comfortable and long lasting. If I'm not doing a lot I often wear the same pair for the best part of a week. I wouldn't do that with other socks but due to the antibacterial properties of Merino wool they stay pretty fresh. It's as if they're magic. Wool is a wonder material and I rate these socks a lot!!

Great warm and soft socks, I love them !!

My husband likes only these type of socks . Wears well, washes well, soft, breathable, just perfect thickness, true to the size
