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

I've been wearing these socks exclusively for many years. Love them. My feet get unbelievably cold and these help tremendously. I wear them every day for three seasons. I heartily recommend them to everyone who suffers from cold feet. The other really great thing is that there is no band of elastic that goes around the top to make them overly tight around my legs. They fit well and do not sag. That's been problem with other brands, especially with SmartWool socks (too tight at the top). Two things to be aware of are: 1. They do shrink, so size up. 1 size larger should do it. I wear a ladies size 9/ 9.5 shoe and buy the men's large in these socks. They fit perfectly after shrinking. I wash in cold water but I do put them in the dryer. 2. The thickness of the socks will make your regular shoes fit tightly. Since I wear these every day, I have had to resort to having two pairs of shoes in each style that I own. My "winter" shoes are one half size larger than my summer shoes in the exact same style & brand to accommodate the thickness of these socks. This has made everything much more comfortable, my feet don't feel squished, and it is totally worth it for me to do this. Others may not feel the need to do this, but this is what works for me, so though I would share this info. The last thing I will add is a request to LL Bean to PLEASE bring back these socks in knee high length. I have a few of these 12-in and 16 in ragg wool Bean socks- they are heavenly! The 16 inch are my favorites. Since they do shrink, they end up losing several inches in length but they work beautifully as knee highs and keep me toasty warm. I keep saying I'm not going to buy any more 10-in and wait for the longer ones, especially the 3 packs on sale, but then I get tired of waiting and give in, buying the 10" & adding leg warmers to cover the rest of my legs to my knee. They are still good.

I LOVE these socks & wear them all day, every day, all winter BUT I buy them 2 sizes too big knowing that they will shrink. If you never put them in the dryer & only wash cold they probably would stay their original size but there is just no way I'm going to remeber to fish them out of the wash every time. So, I size up, and they are perfect! for reference I wear a womens size 9 shoe & get these in XL.

I am 7-1/2 to 8 in shoe size and bought Medium... perfect fit. OK, maybe a little large, but not by much. First time I put them on, I felt like tiny needles all over, then I realized that I actually liked that... it was stimulating for my feet. I was sorry when the tiny needles feeling disappeared after 15 min or maybe 30 min of wearing them. They held the shape after washing and drying. I like them very much.

These wool socks are amazing! They wash and dry well and are warm and earthy. I got the charcoal ones first in my normal size according to the chart(medium, for my size 9 feet) but had to return for a larger size(large) which was perfect!

I never wore wool blend socks before and these are very comfy. I wear an 8 1/2 shoe and bought the med size and they fit me good.

These socks are nice and warm for the winter. Perfect with boots

Wonderful socks! My husband gave me two pairs. I like them so much. They are nice and warm. My recent purchase was a gift for my sons to keep them warm in Minnesota. They are great for inside and outside.

I had never had a pair of sox like this before and love them! I used to get heavy cotton ragg sox from Beans but now their cotton ragg is really light weight, not warm and thick, so got these instead.

These socks are tried and true. Perfect for all kinds of winter activities.

These socks are comfortable and dry. They feel great in any slipper or shoe that I wear.

My absolute favorites for actually keeping me warm.

These socks were absolutely fantastic nice and warm. Oh great for the money they weren't that expensive. If you need a nice pair of warm socks, this is what you want

Warm, comfy socks! I ordered large and they were perfect!

These socks are very comfortable and keep your feet toasty. The only negative thing happened when I washed them and got white lint on them. Several washes later, I am still picking lint off the socks.

Socks are great thickness for keeping warm while hiking, and are comfortable enough for everyday use too. Air drys quickly.

Love em'...have bought them for decades. Good old sturdy, reliable, warm wool socks.

I have been wearing these socks for several years now. They are so comfortable keep my feet warm at night (I sleep in them during the long, cold NJ winters). I describe them as being "a hug for my feet" :)

My husband loves these socks. Thick, warm, comfy. What else do you need?!

My husband is very happy with these socks. They are soft & warm.

These socks are comfortable, durable and keep my feet toasty without being smelly. I have used them for the past three years in the cold weather of the Berkshires, MA. I have tried other brands but they are no match to these. For the quality and usability, price is fair.

I've use these during the coldest days in this Northeast winter. Just machine wash then on warm, take then out stretch them and let them air dry. Perfect.

Absolutely the most comfortable socks I own. and I own 12 pair.

They are great to sleep in. They keep my feet warm at night.

Great socks. Bought before, thanks fit great i like them

So warm! I wear size 6.5-7 shoes and the size small fits great. These are the only socks that keep my feet warm on my cold floors without slippers. They are probably too thick to wear with slippers but they fit great in my clogs or boots. Well worth the price as I think they'll last a long time.
