“These are solid socks. They're a touch on the thinner side than what I'm used to wearing, but this actually makes them fit better into narrower shoes. I can't comment too much on sizing as I'm not 14-17, but it still works pretty well all things considering. I'd describe the warmth/insulation as adequate. They're low profile and the branding isn't too loud either. Though I can't yet speak to their durability or performance in athletic activities, I see these as a good all-rounder sock! I bought a dozen pairs on sale and look forward to having these in my drawer for years to come.”
