    I received a pair of these fine socks as a gift last week, and I must say that they have exceeded my expectations in every way.My feet have never felt more comfortable in my brogans. I like them so much that I have ordered another pair for my kit for our reenactment in February. I have no question that they will perform nicely to help keep my feet warm.

    These socks arrived in the nick of time for Cedar Creek. Kept my feet comfortable throughout the day, double quicking up hill and down dale and warm and cozy at night under my blankets and ground cloth in the chilly night.

    Hand Knit socks hold up

    After 5 days of continual wear in the field at the Kennesaw Mountain 150th I can say that these socks are a winner. They didn't fall down, bunch up, or stain my feet. The cushioning was also great as I was on my feet most of those 5 days.
