Terrific Ski Sock
Purchased a pair of these with my custom boot liner at full price, which was sorta pricey. If I wasn't such a cheapo with princess feet there'd be no way. But, these are great socks, which is why despite the bleah color (who cares, right? They're inside your boot), I jumped on these. Well worth it. Very soft, lovely merino that is not so lightweight that you feel that you have nylons on, like some. Very comfy heel and shin "padding"(extra thick section of sock), right where you need it along the tongue. Extremely comfortable and leaves your foot feeling dry at the end of the day. Nice and plush and keeps its shape really well (I believe there is a little synthetic comp in this to help). Nicer than my previous bulky synth socks by far. Highly recommended.

Excellent Socks
These socks are great at moisture management. The fit is perfect. The light socks are great for warmer days and the medium socks are great for those coolder times. The shin padding is perfect for ski racers. It gives a bit of extra comfort where needed;on the shin.
