Comments: Great socks. I have them in both white and black. Very thin and comfortable. Way better than the regular cotton socks that I used to wear.

Comments: I've been using these for a little over 3 months now. They're great socks. Like the previous reviewer said, you hardly realize you have anything on. They really wick well too, particularly in the tropical climate in Hong Kong. I use them with Bont Alphas and EZeeFit Ultra Thins booties. The cut is just perfect to cover the top edge of my boot though it does slip down sometimes with the booties. Highly recommended.

Comments:Comfortable. Can't even tell you have socks on. Best feature is the cut; no long sock sticking out of the short boot. Do wish it was available with padding like the Solomon sock, though.
