I have wore Ballstom Rag wool socks for over 20 years. Winter, spring, summer or fall. My father told me along time ago “Feet are the foundation of a man. Take care of your feet and they will take care of you”. Ballstom socks are more expensive then normal socks, they are so worth it and I deserve to treat my self. I would not wear anything else.

Super comfortable and keep my feet nice and warm! I've been wearing them to work for a couple weeks now and already recommended them to coworker. I work mainly in a refrigerated area and sometimes outside, and with the chilly weather we've had, my feet used to freeze and my toes would go numb. Not anymore! Thanks for a great product at a reasonable price!

I love these merino wool socks. They are luxuriously soft, comfortable, well made and durable. They are amazing, they keep my feet warm when it is cold outside but are not hot when it is hot.

Tried other brands but they just don’t have the same wool percentage or quality fit and craftsmanship. Feel great and hold up well. Thanks Ballston!

These socks are very, very comfortable. The padding is excellent, and the price is absolutely amazing for merino wool socks. I may have bought waaaay too many of these socks.

I adore these socks! Comfort, long lasting and at a great price. I have worn this brand for years. Originally, I was looking for an alternative to cotton and the foot problems that they cause. I have recommended these to friends who suffer "trench foot" and other discomfort as I found relief.

High quality rag wool sock. Nice Blue Gray color. Soft as cotton. Working from home due to the pandemic I wear comfortable socks and Crocks :-) every day. I'll be wearing these wool socks everyday.

This is the 2nd set of socks I purchased on your website. I got my first Ballston socks at a sporting goods store and loved them. Then found the website—perfect. I love the very high percentage of Merino wool in them and the extra warmth that provides. The wool percentage is much higher than any other socks I compared them with. Great fit. They wear very well. Zero complaints!

these socks are great. i received some years ago as a gift and they held up. during that time i was hiking daily for work and play. many, many hours spent on my feet, in boots, covering a variaty of terrain. great! a suggestion. although i appreciate the lack of dye it can be hard to tell the difference between the light, mid and heavy weight socks. they run together in a sock drawer. maybe use the red in the toes to add a band around the top of the sock. one for light, two for mid, t...

Comfortable wool socks at a very good price. Good with hiking boots, but also nice on cold winter days around the house. Delivery was quick, even though we ordered shortly before Christmas. Thanks!

These socks were for my son, who has size 13 feet. They are roomy and non-binding. He loves wool and it is hard to find anymore! We will shop again for sure.

I started using these socks a few years ago for hiking. They are hands down the best socks I've worn and have no plans to wear any others!! Bravo Ballston! Keep up the good work!

I’ve been buying these socks for years. I like the short crew style because it stays up and does not bind my ankles, not to mention that they are warm and cozy. I wear them mostly around the house on cold days and always keep a pair handy to put on if my feet are cold before going to sleep. My daughter loves them also. I just sent her a fresh pack of three and she is so delighted. She likes to use them like slippers socks in her carpeted apartment.

The only 100% wool socks that run true to size and stay that way for their entire useful life! Note that the socks hove multiple sizes, not just two like most brands. The last batch of these socks that I bought just started to wear out. I looked around and could find no better options. I purchased 30 or 36 pairs and look forward to another several years at least of comfort - warmth in the winter and wicking away of moisture in the summer!

Excellent socks, fit perfectly, the lightweight works well for me as a winter sock. Made in USA which I truly appreciate and shop for. The socks don't slip down but also not super tight elastic so comfortable. Thanks

Love these socks! So soft and comfortable yet never too hot or too cold. They are all I wear anymore. My other socks never get used because when I slip these on they are so comfortable and cozy.

I have purchased these Ballston socks several times on Amazon. When I tried to order this last pack, Amazon was out of stock. I looked up the Ballston website and they had them. I ordered and received them right away with free shipping. My husband loves these socks and wears them year round. I don't buy any different ones any more. Great quality!

I love these socks for hiking, and just wearing around. They fit well, they are durable, they are comfortable, and I like the price. My wife and I have been happy with a number of the socks made by Ballston, for dress and for recreation.

It has been about 4 years since we discovered Ballston wool socks. My husband and son wear them year-round. They love these socks and even though they have tried a few different ones, they don't keep them. It is Ballston all the way, all the time.

Years of great experience with Ballston socks & having worn a couple of these new pairs it seems that they will continue to exceed expectations. Size, length, cushion all seem excellent. But Ballston, like so many other companies, shouldn't keep hounding me about writing a review until I have enough time to wear and wash them.

We absolutely love these socks. Originally bought them on Amazon and were very disappointed when we couldn't get them anymore. Then, I decided to go directly to the source and voila! Ordered two packages (8 pairs, total). Very comfortable, warm in winter, comfortable in summer. Soft as a baby's bottom (or a lamb's???). A bit expensive but worth it. I would like to see a reinforced bottom, the original four pairs we bought wore through - we like wearing them without shoes.

With the winter temperatures we've been having these socks provide a great barrier against the cold. I don't wear shoes in the house so these socks are my protection angainst the cold and they're comforatable.

Loved the online ordering experience on your site. Straightforward pricing and complete information about the materials used in your socks. I am a repeat customer due to the quality and longevity of your socks.

My husband found these socks on a website somewhere and fell in love. He wanted them for Christmas--these exact pair. I went to your website and was impressed with the selection of different wool weights and composition of yarns used. The website even gave me the sock weight--who does that?! So I literally weighed the socks my husband showed me and these were the ones--I had an exact match for him and he is happier about these socks than anything else I got him. Well-done--customer for life!

Love these socks, the medium are very warm but not too warm, are thick enough but not too thick. And made in America it’s a win win

Perfect for wearing around the house in chilly New England for someone who hates to wear shoes inside. Thick, easy to get on/off, stay in place without being too tight, warm but not too warm, good looking. Like them so much I ended up buying 12 pairs.

I had a single pair of this Ballston sock from over 5years ago-it is still my favorite sock and I still wear them. These are warm, fit well and wash beautifully. great for boots or tennis shoes.

I love these socks! They are soft and comfortable yet breathable. I bought several pairs. I only wish they also came in a more neutral dark color combo - like black and gray. Definitely recommend!

Love these socks, glad I bought 2 packs. Very soft, warm, do not mark my legs and very well made. Wear them everyday now that it is cold where I live.

I bough all 4 flmens’ pair for l myself but they were so comfortable that I just felt obliged to share 3 pairs to the most important men in my life, my two sons ages 27 and 30 and with my 92 year old father, now I am going to buy another 4 for myself.

Excellent product- my favorite merino socks for skiing, hiking and cycling. Better than Smartwool, which I do like, because they are a better fit and don't become slack with use. Appreciate the green packaging immensely. Zero waste. Very prompt delivery. Highly recommended.

I have bad feet and was planning my first European vacation back in 2018. Bought several socks from Amazon...including Ballston. They were simply the most comfortable by far. Bought more in 2019 for another overseas trip and now they are the only socks I wear. Just ordered another 12 pairs. Btw, the first noticeable wear and tear just began to appear on the socks purchased in 2018..I’m very pleased with these socks.

Absolutely love the new Ballston's that I received. I had several pairs that I've worn in the past but sadly they had run their course. They lasted such a long time that I couldn't remember where I got them, so thanks to the internet I was able to get some straight from the source. I'm sure I'll be ordering more soon!

I have several pairs of these sock and I love them. Not only are they super warm, but they stay in place without a tight elastic at the top so they’re very comfortable.

My son was so happy I finally found these wool socks that fit his large feet! And, I could not be happier with the customer service I received. My shipment arrived in 3 days after placing the order even during Christmas season. Thank you so much for making my son happy on short notice!

So I got a pack of each of your socks (light, medium, heavy, and raglan) and have now used them for a couple months. The sizing is great, and the elastic seems to be strong enough for a long lasting sock that stays up. Heavy and medium I use for work which they get thrashed with concrete, mortar, rain, and lots of steps in Danners that I trash every 3 months and I love these socks. The light I use for whitewater kayaking in a drysuit, backcountry skiing, hiking, and out n aboot and love them t...

These socks were extremely comfortable and so far they look like they will last. They are incredibly warm and fit perfectly. Only time will tell if they will last as long as they are claimed to last. So far these are the best Merino Wool socks I have purchased.
