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

I have been buying these for years. Like the fit, but realize every pair has gotten holes in the heels. I don't wear outside without shoes and always with slippers inside. Have found a better brand.

I love these socks to wear around the house in the winter. They keep my feet cozy and warm. However, I'm disappointed in their longevity. I thought I was buying something very high quality that would last awhile if cared for correctly. I bought three pair last winter. I do not wear them out and about or with shoes. I only wear them as a house sock when it is cold. I washed and dried them as directed, not even daily. Since I was only wearing them as loungewear after showering at the end of the day, I didn't wash them that often. Maybe one pair got washed per week. Every single pair has a hole or holes in the heel. I still find them very comfortable and will probably buy again, but I'm very disappointed in their longevity longevity.

I thought I was buying more of the heavy wool socks I got several years ago, which are warm and fit will in a boot. These are lovely and soft but not at all warm--I keep checking the fiber content to make sure I didn't buy CoolMax by mistake. I'm warmer in my thinner wool socks. I bought two sets of two, and will return one. The other I've worn and washed, so will hang on to them for summer wear under my boots.

I found them too scratchy to wear and had to return e.

I have bought these socks for years! I love the feel of them, but have noticed the quality has gone down. They used to last me years, now I'm lucky if they make it through one season.

These are some of the most comfortable and best-looking wool socks I've ever owned I've bought them three times now because I love how they feel and how well they go with everything. But every pair has developed holes in the heels after just one fall/winter season. I wear them mostly around the house and sometimes with shoes, but never on rough surfaces, so I was really surprised by how quickly they wore out. I wish the quality matched the comfort and design, because I truly love them otherwise.

These are supposed to be machine wash and dry. The socks shrunk so much they looked like a child's sock and were unusable.

A wool blend - not 100% wool. Not worth the price.

These socks are very hard to put on. I wish I didn't buy them.

Toe box corners have extra material that ends up sticking out. Aside from looking quite goofy, this caused a major rubbing point while worn with footwear. Disappointing as I had high hopes for these socks.

These very expensive socks are nothing special. Considering the price, they are a quite thin. It's the ribbing that makes them look thicker than they really are, and you can feel the ribbing when you walk. They are defininitely not soft and they are thinner and absolutely no warmer than the acrylic socks you can buy at the big box store for one third the price. "Merino wool" means nothing when the material is thin. Don't waste your money on these.

Huge LL bean branding (and size) painted right in the sock. Why?? It's so ugly and unnecessary. These cost too much to have basically an ad printed on them. Will never buy again.

Disappointing. Seams at the toe were thick making the sock fit poorly and uncomfortable.

For the price of these socks, the quality is so disappointing! I am not sure if I received a defective pair but after one wash both sets of socks were falling apart at the cuff and majorly pilling. I do not believe they will last through one winter season. I unfortunately would not recommend!

These are nice socks but the seam in the toes is quite annoying and uncomfortable. Otherwise they are nice socks that seem to run a bit small. I'd go up one size from what you think you should get. This review is before washing so maybe the seam will feel softer or not be as noticeable.

Too thin compared to the much heavier socks you use to sell for snow and cold that were excellent and heavier like a blanket thickness

I've had these socks for a couple of years now, and I avoid wearing them because of how they feel after a couple of washes. They are super stiff and crunchy, not soft at all. I was really hoping these would be socks for life, but I am ready to just toss them now.

These fit well but I found them very itchy! Had to give them away.

My husband likes these socks, but he wears through the heels much too quickly. They don't last long even after I mend them.

I'm a big fan of natural fibers and fondly remember years as a kid where my mother would send me out into the cold with thick ragg wool mittens and socks on. My feet and hands would always be kept toasty warm and I could stay out there all day if I wanted. I was searching for a sock of similar quality and thought that LL Bean would certainly offer that at $20 per pair of socks. Sadly, their worksmanship is not befitting of this price point. The socks initially are warm and toasty, but as soon as they get worn through a single cold season, the next year they are threadbare and nearly worn out. The reason for this is due to their knit - the weave is not reinforced at the heel in any way, leading to uneven wear and the coarse wool fibers wear out with use faster than any other sock I own. I will no longer be buying LL Bean's ragg wool socks until they can find something that will last longer than one Minnesota winter.

I purchased this 2 pack for a trip to Iceland and fell in love with the way they feel on my feet. They are very warm and comfy. Unfortunately, both pairs have developed holes in the heels after wearing them about a dozen times. This happened after I had requested them for a Christmas gift and my children purchase me another set. They are not worth the cost that we paid. I will not purchase these again.

Ordered large size re my size 11 feet. Found the top part of sock VERY tight and I'm not a heavy person.

I was super excited to buy these for my partner as a Christmas gift because they were exactly what I had been looking for; long thick unbranded socks! The pictures looked great, when they arrived in the mail they looked great, but when they were taken out of the packaging on Christmas we noticed this big ugly branding on the side of the socks. Even if it were on the bottom I would've still been disappointed since I was expecting blank socks. The socks seemed fine otherwise, just extremely disappointed that this branding is hidden from the customer! I don't plan on taking this risk again on other LLBean socks in the future, be careful of the refund fee!

The knot of fabric sits right on the pressure point for all my the shoes. 3 out 4 were sewn this way so clearly it can be done correctly but only 25% of the time..

very itchy socks after several hours of wearing them, run small.
