Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Merino Wool Ragg Socks 10" 2-Pair

I have been wearing these socks for many years. I continue to buy them despite the fact that they are not reinforced at the heel. They wear out at a particular place. For what Bean's charges for these socks, they should last longer. I have a collection, all of which are worn through at a particular place at the heel. I'll be happy to send it to a Bean product test specialist if you give me the address information.

I was hoping to replace my (not-so) Smartwool socks with these ones. Alas, they are so thick and stiff, they lack any sort of comfort or softness. I continue to search!

I'd like to see how they wear but so far they feel Comfy and warm but a little loose

Do not last as long as previous purchases.. wear develops in toes and heels. Barely can make a season now.

Comfortable and seem well made. However, waiting 2 months for delivery is ridiculous. Especially for the price. Low inventory and long wait times over the years are the reasons I don't shop at LL Bean very often.

These socks just seem disappointing save your money!

I have several pairs from 30 years ago. I'm glad that new ones are available, but the new ones are thinner than the old ones. I wouldn't be surprised if the percentage of wool content in the new version is lower that in the old ones as they don't "tighten" up as much after washing. I'd pay a premium for the quality of yore, but, as i said, I'm glad "ragg wool socks" are still made. It will be interesting to see how they wear.

Really like these socks when I initially put them, warm and comfortable. But after 20 minutes, they become itchy. I really have a hard time wearing wool next to my skin but hoped these would be different since the ad suggested they would not be itchy. If you are sensitive to wool, be careful. Unwearable for me.

I do love the socks but they wear out too quickly in the heal. They are comfortable and can be worn with boots or hiking shoes. My only complaint is that they wear out too quickly and always in the heel area. I have lots of unmatched pairs, tossing the ones too worn out for repair. Consequently, I wait for the socks to go on sale. Wish they were re-enforced in the heel.

I have mixed feelings about these socks. They feel great on my feet (I think it's the coarseness of them) it feels like I'm getting a massage on my feet as I walk. But they really made my legs itchy! I assume it has something to do with the hair on my legs (and I don't have much).That's the only thing I can think of. But I think the are good quality socks, just didn't really agree with me. Probably just wear them to work with base layer (long johns) and put the leg of the sock over them to keep them off my skin.

They looked nice and comfortable for cold weather to wear every day. but they were smaller size after washing and dryer. i ordered L size. next time i will order XL size.

Honestly? Seems thicker and warmer on the ankle area than the foot area.

Too heavy and too expensive. I haven't worn them enough to rate them properly for fit and wear.

The socks fit right, feel comfortable. One of them, however, was thin in area in front of the heel. Almost felt as if it had previously been worn.

So one was grey/oatmeal and looked like a matched pair of socks. The other had multiple stripes and the color patterns did not match. I do not think it was deliberate but a slight variation did show and you could see that they were not a match .

I have bought these ragg wood socks for years and loved them. However, the last ones I ordered were way to tall (10 inches). Would like to have some of the proper size since I do not wear boots. If you ever have the previous size (large with a 6 inch height) please let me know. Thank you.

Heel is wearing very fast, getting large holes in heels within a few months. 2 pairs worn out already and may not buy again because of this

sloppy fit, didn't want to stay up. Next time I'd spend the extra couple of bucks for Smartwool.

Very nice socks but unfortunately itchy . . .

I wear a size 7.5 women's shoe so I followed the size chart and bought a Medium. They were slightly large so I washed them in warm water and hung dry. They fit a bit better now but still too big. Worse than that though is the scratchiness which I find impossible to ignore. Was hoping the washing might improve this but, nope. Not particularly impressed, especially for the price.

Love the quality of the socks, but when I wore them with boots they were just too itchy. I'm used to wearing SmartWool socks, so I'm not sure why these Merino socks were so itchy. Sorry, but I'm returning them.

The seam on the toe is so prominent that I have to turn the socks inside out so they don't bother me. Other than that, they're nice and warm.

Got these looking for a thicker sock to keep my feet warmer than regular socks. These looked and felt like just what I wanted however after just one wear, they didn't feel the same and felt almost matted. A little disappointed. I wouldn't buy them again. Oh and not to mention, I know it happens, but one pair came with a large pull in the material.

I love them but one of the socks, of the 4, the toe seam isn't sewn correctly and it feels very funky on my toes. Other than that I use them for Sleeping because I suffer from Reynaud's Syndrome and my feet literally freeze year round.

These are lighter weight, not as thick and heavy as before. The diameter of the yarn is smaller. Another example of keeping the price the same by lowering the quantity (quality). What ever happened to colors of hunter green and medium heather blue? or even a deep brown? The color of grey is more like oatmeal, not a true light grey. In short, a poorer selection of colors and a lower quality product.
