Review by AnonymousReviewed 11/30/2023by AnonymousCycling EnthusiastPlymouth, Wi.Comfortable and warm.Allows feet to stay warm without trapping moisture. Need shoe covers to allow riding in 40 degrees F. And colder. Thin enough to fit in summer road shoes and allow for colder weather rides.

Review by Alain L. Reviewed 12/7/2020by Alain L. Cycling EnthusiastPortland, OR1 of 1 customers found this review helpful.Love the woolGiro makes pretty dang nice stuff, some of my favorite socks and gloves are Giro. That said, I'm not a huge fan of the ribbed 80s "athletic" sock look. But these are hidden under boots so it doesn't much matter, bottom and toe padding is good, though never enough, still have to wear wind block toe covers over my winter boots (Fizik X5) in order to keep warm. If you're feet generally stay pretty warm in your winter boots, even in the 30-40s, then these will likely work for you.

Review by AnonymousReviewed 3/14/2021by Anonymousphoenix1 of 1 customers found this review helpful.Warm & BreathableNicely made wool that holds up to washing (never in dryer) keeps my feet warm in 38-50 F no problem. I sweat a lot and the wool wicks the moisture effectively. I would appreciate a taller version but with the tights no big deal. The bulk was just right and did not cause any shoe fit problems.

Review by AnonymousReviewed 12/4/2015by AnonymousCycling EnthusiastTexas1 of 1 customers found this review helpful.Okay, but no Woolie BoolieI wanted to try out an alternative to the DeFeet Woolie Boolie 2 and thought these would be at the same level. The Woolie Boolies pip them in comfort and warmth, nice quality and appearance though..

Review by aurenReviewed 1/21/2022by aurenCycling EnthusiastNorth Bay, CAmedium warm socks for afternoons in the upper 50s and upI would call these medium thick wool socks. Not as thick and warm as a Wolly Boolie, but plenty for 55 degress and up.

Review by Road4TrackReviewed 3/7/2014by Road4TrackCompetitive RacerSeattle1 of 1 customers found this review helpful.1 Wet Weather Sock!This is pretty much the only sock I wear from November to April. I was simply amazed at how much warmer and more comfortable my feet were after wearing these. I now own 4 pairs. Sure they're a little pricey, but when you're 40 miles from home and your feet have little to complain about the price seems quite fair.

Review by Steve F.Reviewed 1/28/2019by Steve F.SaugusWell made.Maybe not quite as warm as woolie boolies but not nearly as thick either. They are plenty warm considering the thickness of the material and very comfortable.

Review by AnonymousReviewed 12/2/2013by AnonymousCycling EnthusiastTexas1 of 1 customers found this review helpful.Probably best for 40 degrees I like this sock but I wore it for a ride in 34 degree weather and my toes were a little cold. I must admit I have cold extremities to begin with and I did not wear shoe covers.

Review by Road4TrackReviewed 3/11/2013by Road4TrackCompetitive RacerSeattle, WA1 of 1 customers found this review helpful.Great for winter trainingriding!These are great socks for northwest winters! They are a little taller than regular cycling socks, but not so long that they cause issues when zipping-up tights or leg warmers. The merino wool keeps you're feet warm without being to bulky in the shoe.
My only reservation is, since I am cheap by nature, that they are a little pricey. Even the BTD.com website can't bring 'em down too much. With that said, after buying one pair and trying them-out, I bought two more pairs. Even cheapo's can see a good deal... plus, when it feels like your toes are going to fall-off and you can prevent it from happening again, what's a few bucks?

Review by PDX JaceReviewed 1/26/2012by PDX JaceCycling EnthusiastNE Portland2 of 2 customers found this review helpful.Pushed all my other woolies to the side....Got a pair of these from my girls for Christmas, and they have stayed in my daily cross town commute ever since. Just like the description says, they are warm, but not too much, nice against the skin (no itchies), and even when they have been soaked through entirely, they stay that way. Best part? As far as I can tell they are not capable of stinking.....
Merino wool....with all of our technical advances, still can't beat wool as the ultimate material.
I strongly suggest if you are a winter muck commuter.

Review by bikeguy55Reviewed 1/18/2012by bikeguy55Cycling Enthusiast1 of 1 customers found this review helpful.Great Winter SocksThis is a great winter sock, thin enough to fit inside a cycling shoe, but warm enough for cold weather riding. Long enough to extend under tights.
