Comfortable. But a little tight at the top , will leave ring at top of leg!Exactly as expectedAfter a couple uses and washes they are still in great shape. Decently soft and warm, though these are not for extreme temp by any means but I wear them with my work boots in extreme Temps as I'm not out in the crap for long periods. As for the knot in the toe it isn't something big. I absolutely hate tiny things in my boots and these caus me no problems. For my foot size (us8) they go up next to the edge of my toe and I never feel them until I go to take them off. I'm in my boots generally 10-12 hours a day delivering from a semi. They have the feel of a sock that should last awhile. I do sweat slightly more in these then my other hiking sock of comparible weight and fit.These socks are well made and comfortable to wear!! The price is fair for the quality. They were true to size, at least the size I bought. I would recommend buying them you won't regret it!!!A bit thicker than what I wanted, and not dedicated hiking socks. They are decent socks, and decent quality, but better options available for hiking. I chose these instead, although I wish I had chosen large instead of medium, which is a bit small for my size 11 feet:EOULSTORY7 5Pack Men's Climbing Cushion Hiking/Performance Crew Socks 5Pair Medium2Wow these are very comfortable socks. I wore them for the first time at work yesterday for 12 hours in my work boots and my feet did not hurt once I wish I knew what's your plan this I would have bought them sooner for sure so thank you great socks.Love theses socks last longer than mostSocks fit nicely, stay up and are comfortable. I wear them with work boots and hiking shoes. The seam across the top of the toe was a bit annoying on the first day with my work boots, but I got used to it. The socks fit true to size. They are warm enough, but I have not used them in extreme cold weather (below freezing).
