Noble Outfitters’ official description

Keep warm and dry in this great-fitting Alpine Merino Wool Sock as merino wool’s natural moisture-wicking capabilities keep you comfortable in any temperature.

Jo’s first impressions

Stylish, but these socks looked rather short.

Overview of performance

These socks were too short to wear with wellies and riding boots. They worked best as sock to use around the yard with jodhpur boots. They have a thick sole and are breathable, but they wouldn’t be my first choice.

Things you like/dislike about it?

I liked the very comfy foot, but were too short on the calf

Verdict

I think there are better socks available for a similar price.
