Comments: Extremely, DURABLE. I bought 10 pairs of these socks in 2011. I have worn them every day for work as dress socks, for play with hiking boots, tennis shoes, and of course skating literally thousands of miles. These socks have outlasted many sets of wheels and bearings. It's 2018, and I have three pairs that are a little stretched out and will be replacing them. Too bad they don't come in WHITE. Please make them in WHITE too.

Comments: I love these socks! These are definitely the best socks I've ever had for skating. I have a different experience than the majority of commenters with larger feet. As a women's 11 and men's 10 they fit me perfectly!
From: Julia, VA
Comments: Love these socks! I'm a size 12 and they fit just fine. Just wish they came in WHITE.

Comments: I ordered these socks as well as some Bauer skate socks. These fit me fine (men's size 10) and go up slightly higher than my K2 FIT Boa skates. I would say that they are as thick as any medium thickness dress sock. As a comparison, the Bauer socks are very thin, like a typical men's dress sock. I'll see which thickness works best with the skates I own. Overall, recommended if you need a medium thick sock.

Comments: Very comfortable and cheap for the price. I wear size 8 and these fit just fine!I highly recommend for the price of these socks!!!
From: Michelle
Comments: Definitely on the small side. Bought 2 pairs for my husband and myself. My husband that wears a 9 could not fit into these comfortably. myself in a women's 7 fit them snugly and comfortably. Not very stretchy so don't buy these unless you have a smaller foot size. Having said that IF you do have smaller feet these are a GREAT sock for the price. A lot thicker than expected. Not too warm and perfect for inside my inline skate. I would definitely buy more and recommend to the smaller skater.
From: Cinnamon
Comments: Absolutely my favorite sock of all orders! And I am not just saying this because it gets me the IW discount! Although I like that as well! Love the cushion feel at the bottom. Never got any blisters wearing these. IW rocks! Great service and will continue to order from them. They know their stuff!
From: MJ
Comments: I got these socks because they were cheap and had good reviews. However, the socks are very small and don't stretch well. I wear a mens size 9 and the flat of the sock barely stretches over my heel. I don't recommend these socks unless you are a mens 8 or smaller.
From: Eric
Comments: Good price for breathable socks. Keep my feet comfortable for the most part though when I try to pull the sock over my heal I have to tug to get my heal to fit in the heal of the soak and my toes feel tight. Works ok for skating. Would not recommend for larger size feet (says fits 6-12)
