Hello, How is this sock compared to a wool dress sock regarding the thickness per sock?

It's a little thicker than a dress sock, which is to be expected since it is also a little tighter. But these socks are very comfortable to wear, even in the summer.

These socks are a bit thicker - though not by much - than a wool dress sock. Compared with the prevailing brand of support socks, they are thicker and warmer. To me they actually look much nicer that the average dress socks provided you buy a relatively conservative design.

These stretch to a very thin sock vs wool dress socks. They feel like they would make you sweaty but they do a good job of keeping my legs/feet cool and not feeling sweaty at all.

I purchased these for my mother (size 9.5 womens) who has extremely swollen feet. These socks are thick and stretchy. Since you are in the middle of the two sizes, I think the question becomes what are your personal preferences in terms of how high you want the sock coming up your calves. If you want them on the lower side I would get the 8-11.

Sorry David I have no experience in this to really answer your question... I've using them from time to time the last months but I would like to say that yes, because they are wool...

The cushion is not bulky at all. I can wear this sock with all of my shoes/boots with no trouble at all. Honestly, I was kind of expecting more cushion and tend to like my winter socks a little padded but in this sock the cushion just provides some extra support to the foot. These are one of my favorite pairs of socks because they fit in all of my shoes but don't slide around at all or fall down my ankle.

These socks are on the thicker side of my wool socks. However, they are very comfortable. The thinner wool socks do not appear to last as long, but are more comfortable during warmer weather.

Sockwell socks do well if you follow the instructions. I do warm/cold wash and line dry. I've never put them in the dryer.

Hi, it's about 1/2" thick. We have had the piece about a year and have been pleased. There's a lot of lanolin "leakage" from the wool onto the cotton side which creates funky beige stains, but so far it's been purely a cosmetic problem. We've been putting the thing on cotton side up just in case the wool would seep onto our sheets.

Yes, I love these socks because they are not thick and hot! The first pair I got for my daughter to play softball in (called an all-sports socks at the athletic store) were thick and very hot. These socks are what I would call "performance" material: thick enough to provide protection from blisters, etc., but made of polyester blend the forms to the foot and is much cooler. I really like these socks!

The material has been brushed which makes the interior of the sock feel plush, rather than wool. I didn't have the same experience as others did. I drank the koolaid but My feet never got hot, Or warm from wearing these socks. I'm a professional hunting guide. Invest in some 800-1200 gram thinsulate boots. Good luck

These appear to be about the same thickness as my 65# cardstock. Hope that helps.

No itches here my dear...I cannot wear wool either but this is the fine yarn and it works great! I have my good witch ones on as we text. I wear them all year long unless it is extremely warm. Hope you try them. I've got five pair.

I do not have access to a micrometer, but I feel 100% comfortable in assuring you that the thickness of this felt is no less than 1/8" thick. (2/16th of an inch) The density is consistent, with no holes, thin or weak spots. Fibers appear to be uniform in length and staple. This is nice felt. My wife made baby shoes out of it and was very happy with the results.

Teri: Since I gave the blanket as a gift to my son and daughter-in-law when they got married, I cannot check its thickness. However, the blanket is definitely heavy, which is both a plus and a negative for those who don't want something heavy on top of them while they sleep. If I had to guess, I would say that the blanket is about 3/8" thick, and it is very warm and durable, without frizzy particles filling the air around it. I got it for them as it will be very warm when they want it, and will last them the rest of their lives. Not relative to your question, but still potentially important, is that the blanket cost a couple of hundred dollars less from Amazon than it did from the Hudson Bay Blanket people. I don't know of any other source for wool blankets of this calibre, and wish I had one myself. Hope this helps. B.

I ordered the Pintoli/Fytto Style 1020 Women's Comfy Compression Socks, 15-20mmHg, Knee High, Black, Large Size, and I absolutely love them! They are thick but have a nice silky feel. I cannot imagine them snagging or getting a run. They seem very durable.

I wore wool socks all the time when I was in the Army. They were mandatory at a winter combat survival course I attended. These are definitely warmer than wool and are much less scratchy. Although you may notice that they are a bit thicker than other socks due to the layering of different materials intended to hold in heat more efficiently. But that's not much of a downside in my opinion. It was -10 degrees when I left the house yesterday morning and my feet were nice and toasty all day.

Hi Janet, I purchased these for my grandma; she said they are the warmest socks she's ever worn. FYI they're really, really thick so might not fit when you wear normal shoes. Might be best for home with slippers etc.
