Soft and cushion-y
These socks are very comfortable. It is hard to describe these socks, but I will try. Imagine if you were wearing ballet slippers. With these socks the part of your foot that would be covered by the ballet slippers has extra thick cushioning. So, the sole and most of the part of your foot that is covered by your shoes is protected by this extra thickness, but the top of the sock and the part that goes up your leg is normal thickness, so the socks don't feel bulky. I do not mean to imply that the cushioning is so thick that they would be therapeutic for people with foot problems that impaired walking. The socks feel like they are double thickness on the cushioned parts, so just a little extra thickness for comfort and warmth. I got some of these pillow socks for Christmas, so I've had the chance to wear them and wash a few times. They did well in the wash. The socks don't fall down, they aren't too tight around the tops. They don't leave a mark on your leg from elastic, and don't cut off circulation. Because of the extra thickness on the heels and over the toes, I am expecting that these socks will last longer than other socks because it will take longer to wear holes in them. Love these, they feel so soft, and are extra warm in the winter without the bulk.
