The socks are a hit. Are warmer than all the socks that I had been and very comfortable to wear. Use them both as bed socks to sleep when I have cold feet as well as during the day at home or in loafers. The socks keep very warm, but leave a not sweat. When washing the socks are not included and they do dry quickly, are usually almost tightened when the machine is already just been completed. So highly recommended.
