Merino Wool Dress Socks for Men – Over-the-Calf, Ribbed Wool Dress Socks for Size 8-12 – Breathable, Reinforced Heel and Toe

These are thin dress socks. I purchased a three pack containing olive, khaki, and brown and a three pack containing navy, black and grey. They are all over the calf socks.The fit nicely and stay up all day, with no slipping. They are well made and have withstood several washings so far (machine washed and tumble dried). They are quite comfortable and they look great!If anyone from Boardroom is reading this, I would love to see some thicker, winter weight merino socks.

8/7/2024: I wear these at least 3 times a week, and the elastic on 1 pair JUST went out. While they could save costs with lesser packaging (hopefully making them a bit cheaper sock purchase), Feb 2023 to Aug 2024 is the longest my socks have lasted. I will definitely purchase these again.10/22/23: I originally bought these back in February 2023 and wanted to provide an update. Other than one pair that caught a snag (from me trying to get little plastic piece off from the excessive, my opinion, wrapping) these socks have been the best socks ever bought. I have been in the workforce wearing dress socks since 2003. Most do not last and I have to pull up frequently. These still hold their position. I still think they could save some money in the wrapping / presentation and sell these a bit cheaper, but I guarantee I will be purchasing more.Original: I was skeptical about these socks at first. I have tried so many and have struggled for MANY years over socks (regardless of height) that will sink down on my legs. Even over the calf socks would sink down. But in desperation, I bought a couple of pairs. These socks have truly stayed up and feel very comfortable without my feet sweating / getting overly hot. My only minor compliant are they are fairly expensive. I know you get what you pay for but these do come in extra packaging that do raise the cost so therefore the price. Also, the tags they put on the socks do not rip away very well. Regardless, I will be buying more of these socks and I have gotten rid of all previous socks.

I'm 6', about 250#, 57yrs old. Active, but pudgy.This is my first pair of wool socks. I'm pleasantly surprised at their comfort and coolness. The quality seems to be decent (used to cheap socks though). The toe piece (put on last) is comfortable.Con: Though you can wash them, you have to dry low air. I'm a bachelor middle-income man used to buying clothes that are "toss in washer, move to dryer, DONE" without over-sorting or anything "fancy." A woman friend suggested I buy a pantyhose wash bag and wash in there.After around 8 washings I started forgetting to put them in the bag, so I started drying them. They're fluffier now (more wooly) but still soft. This probably comes as no surprise to people who are more patient with laundry and used to the hassle of special handling.After wearing them about weekly for around 4 months, they don't really stay up all that well. I mean, they're "OK." If you wear OTC socks regularly (dress or sports) these will probably stay up just as well as your others. Me? I'm still hunting for better, yet affordable, socks. I will probably buy a few more pairs of these, since they are my single pair of OTC dress socks and they DO feel good.They deserve 4 stars for quality for the price.---Edit 5 years later. I wear a pair probably an average of once every 2 weeks (since I have other socks as well). It's time to start throwing some away. Wearing out, top band getting loose.I came back to this product this morning to update my review and buy more, if they're still for sale. I didn't realize wool socks would be such a great idea...but it is.

Very happy with the socks so far. They are comfortable and stayed up all day as advertised. They are a little thinner than I expected, so we will see how they last. Gotta say they are the most expensive socks I've ever purchased, but I didn't really have time to shop around for a better deal or brand. Probably won't buy them again unless the price comes down or I hit the lottery.

Wool socks are the best when wearing dress/work shoes all day. These aren’t too thick so they allow my feet to breathe and the elastic seems to be quite durable. I have muscular calves that typically wreck socks but so far that’s not the case with these. The price is about the same for similar items of lower quality so they’re a good value.

This is such a bright and vibrant bright pink. Greta fit and beautiful color!

I purchased these about a year ago but only wear them during fall/winter...and not that often. Perhaps once a week average. Since I have 3 pair, they get rotated. I like they are thin yet warm and hold their shape well. Also, if your feet don't sweat a lot, you can air dry for a day or two and they still are 'fresh'.The only reason for a 3-star rating is the bottoms wear out sort of fast. I know they are thin, but if they had a double layer on the feet (or comparable to SmartWool 'light padding"), I would keep purchasing hoping they would last a bit longer. I'll look elsewhere for now but still may purchase another set for the winter. But at $16-17/pair, paying a little more for something with a thicker sole could be worth it.

These are good quality wool dress socks. I've washed and worn several times. They stay up great - no sliding down. And there's a great variety of colors if you're into that sort of thing.

I’ve bought 3 pairs of these socks so far. The fit is great, they stay up all day and don’t fall down. Some extra care is required l, like washing in a garment bag and hanging to dry but in my opinion it’s well worth the extra effort.I had an issue where the first pair of socks I’d bought started to unravel at the top hem. I reached out to Boardroom’s customer service and received a prompt reply. I really appreciated their response time and the explanation as to why the product was unravelling. Within a week I had 2 socks sent to me as a replacement along with a letter again explaining the issue and apologizing for it. I’ll for sure be purchasing more of these socks!

I’m an orchestral musician so it’s important that my socks stay up and do their thing without my worrying about them. These are excellent socks.

These are thin walled and very comfortable. They hug my calves right to the knee crease, and almost feel like compression socks (though not quite so tight).

Purchased for my husband who prefers the longer length socks. The material is soft and not constricting and he says they are comfortable to wear. They arrived ahead of schedule.

I ordered four pairs, a grey, black, navy and brown. They are my favorite socks. I will be glad once some of my other sock wear out, and get some more. I have the wool, but may also try the cotton. I could have bought cheaper socks, but feel I have a product worth paying more for.
