These socks are the absolute best mid-weight socks I've found. Truly soft, they are perfect with my Doc Marten shoes and boots during the fall and spring months. What's more, they don't wear out! I've had my current pairs for ten years, and I just ordered four more pair. Recommended to all!!
Any changes mentioned in other reviews have not affected his appreciation for their comfort and fit for him. I buy him new ones every fall to keep them rotating and to help him let go after the heels get holes.
I love this brand. BUT I was surprised to find the sizing was odd. They fit the foot and calf well except the very tight heel/ankle portion was very tight and hard to get the sock over the heel. No, my ankles were not swollen. It seemed like those portion of the sock were a completely different size.
The fit is snug but not too tight, providing just the right amount of stretch to conform to your feet without slipping down or feeling restrictive. The softness is consistent throughout, with just the right amount of padding on the soles for a cozy, cushioned feel. Still great.
Not the same as before marked my ankles the sensitivity ones. Were changes made?
First, let me say that I love the socks I already own from this company. They are my absolute favorites and I have bought them as gifts for friends and family as well. I placed a new order some weeks ago and on most of the item pages, the color options were clearly displayed and I was able to pick the color I wanted. On the page for this item (Holiday Feather Multi Stripe Crew) however, the thumbnail pictures for all three color options were identical, The main picture was for the color "Wonderland" and clicking each of the three color thumbnails did not change the main picture. This meant that the same photo ("Wonderland") showed up for ANY of the three color options you picked. Since I was planning to purchase "Wonderland" in the first place, I simply added the item to my cart, mistakenly believing that it was what I had chosen. To my disappointment, when my order arrived, I received the "Whimsical" color option instead, because it was apparently what I had inadvertently added to my cart in spite of the photo showing "Wonderland". I contacted customer service but received no response. The quality of the socks was good as always, but the overall experience wasn't. What a pity.
I ordered these socks more than 3 weeks before leaving for FL. I received a message that they were on the way. Great! But they never arrived. I checked the tracking number and was told that the company rerouted the socks to another address. Not sure what address, just not mine. I wrote the company twice, but received no response or feedback. I left and a few days later my son told me I had received a package from World’s softest socks. They took over three weeks to arrive, without communication or response from WSS. Very disappointed in this company’s service
I got the XO ones. So cute. Thick, warm and cozy.
My feet feel like their in heaven.
I'll be buying more of these. Great for winter.
These are cute and warm. So cozy. I love the feel.of these socks.
My husband loves these crew socks; he has worn them for years!
These are indeed the world’s best and softest socks ever!
They come in an array of colors; my husband likes the navy, black and white colors. A great price for a great product!
I've owned and loved calf height World's Softest Socks for years. My favorite socks and very durable. Haven't worn them out yet, though twice I've lost one while traveling [Iceland and New Zealand]. Recently I took them to Scotland on a hiking trip. No blisters. Ordered knee socks to wear skiing this winter. Can't wait for La Nina to kick in.
These gripper socks are so "cosy" that I thought my friends would like them, too. Stocking stuffers...check!
I have been wearing these socks to play golf for years and they are comfortable, well made and last a long time. I love the thick cushion.
Love these socks!
I, too, got these while on vacation.
Very happy I went to their site and ordered more!
I initially bought these socks not because they were pretty but because they were affordable. Now I buy them because they are the most comfortable soft socks. They're easy to go on and don't slide down. I wish they were in a different color, but I buy them now for Comfort over Looks. I'm buying more!
I was buying/replacing my classic socks that I bought 30 years ago (I bought 144 pairs at that time). When they showed up they were alot thicker than my old classic socks. They are great for wearing with tennis shoes and my lace boots but too thick for my cowboy boots. I ordered some of what I thought would be thinner socks and wound up with these compression socks. Well, they work just fine with my boots. Actually could start wearing a custom pair of boots I had made years ago that were a bit too tight. I wear only over the calf socks and I'm a size 11 1/2 EE to a 12,13 EE depending on brands of shoes and boots. Other than the toe being pretty tight and the padded part of the heel not lining up with my heel at times I really like these socks. I've been buying nothing but Worlds Softestsocks for a long time. The best sock I've ever found. Over the years I've gotten other socks as gifts, none compare. I'm 71 years old, will probably buy a few more pairs, then I should be good for the rest of my life. Thanks Worlds Softestsocks for having such a good product. Sincerely, John. P.S. I would have given a 5 star but the original classic socks didn't always stay up over the calf and having to pull them back up was a pain. Have not had that problem with the new classic or the support fit. Sorry this is so long.
They stay up just fine, wash beautifully, and are the softest socks EVER!
Item never came and they never answered my emails about the missing item. Very disappointing. Complete scam.
These are the only socks that I will wear. I tried Carhartt, because I'm on a 12 hour shift on concrete floor, and my feet was always hurting. Classic, over the calf, socks are the best. I used to buy them at the Hanes store at the Opry Mills mall, in Nashville, for $1.99/pair, but the company quit carrying them. I wait until Worlds Softest Socks website has them on-sale and buy enough to last a year+.
Have always liked WSSocks, but they are super expensive now...wish I would have bought 100 pair years ago...time will tell if they last as long as my original pairs...hope so...
They are soft but a little too thin.
My daughter's boyfriend's parents live in the woods and sometimes the dad leaves the state to build houses, and that's when the bats come in to terrorize the mom. Luckily my daughter diligently rescued a semi-abandoned cat, kitten really. Some elementary school aged children should not be relied upon for the sole care of an animal. So my daughter rescued and the mom and dad adopted, and it turns out the new cat can fly through the air and bat away the bats. So I thought the mom would enjoy these bat socks. Plus they are softer than soft. World's Softest truly lives up to their name.
