I have worn SmartWool socks for years, and have tried other wool socks but they are all to itchy. Have any of you had sensitivity to wool?

I have sensitivity to wool, and I have absolutely no problems with this socks. In fact I went and bought three more pairs after the first ones.

No itches here my dear...I cannot wear wool either but this is the fine yarn and it works great! I have my good witch ones on as we text. I wear them all year long unless it is extremely warm. Hope you try them. I've got five pair.

Yes. Patricia, at the amazon search line enter B001MPXPRC and click on GO.This is the exact Jill Gel 1/8" thick. Two in one box. Although a bit pricey they last a long time.Suggest you buy 4 boxes if you use them everyday. My experience is don't wash them daily, maybe a weekly washing would be enough. Always make sure your feet are free of creams or any debri.Note here, sock threads collect mostly on the outside edges and cannot be washed off. Thus you losethe stickiness of those areas. When removing them take care not to pull to hard which can shorten their life. Yes. Patricia, at the amazon search line enter B001MPXPRC and click on GO.This is the exact Jill Gel 1/8" thick.

They leave some marks on my legs. I don't need them but I don't like how most socks are made today, like Hanes, which are tighter than they used to be and don't last anymore. These socks are very comfortable and durable but they do leave some marks and an indentation around the band. If you don't want indentations, maybe try 100% wool socks.

I LOVE Darn Tough socks...but would recommend that you go larger IF you are sometimes like me and have your socks sometimes get mixed in with loads of clothes that get hot water and hot dryer! I don't mind the snug fit, but many people do not! They are a great product!

It's not wool...I'm very allergic and I do not react to it. it's like a cotton sweater that beads up when it's been washed a few times. That is the best way i can describe it.

To be honest I bought mine for emergencies so I have not used it yet. However, it did seem to be itchy. I think most wool is unless you are buying cashmere. I could be mistaken. I hope this helps you. I highly recommend buying this blanket regardless as they do not make them of this quality anymore.

Problem with a different brand on my skin. I'm noting this in case someone might have the same sensitivity as me or knows the reason. When I use neem oil, I have to wear gloves just to touch the bottle (brand is Garden Safe). It makes me itch and blister even if I wash RIGHT after. I don't have that problem with any products, bug repellant nor even motor oil. So as said previous, maybe there are important inert ingredients. Just my experience. I don't know which ingredient bothers me, so I am trying another method until I figure it out.

The Smart Wool web site has a size chart. I referenced that before placing my order. Hope this helps :)

These socks seem to have a little more wool in them and because of this, are wonderfully warm in the winter. In fact, they are my favorite winter sock. I would, however, pick something cooler for a hot climate. In my opinion, Balega's are better suited for hot temperatures.

yes, its itchy, I won't recommend using it directly, its also a bit rough the wool, its warm, but not the most comfortable blanket.

100% wool vs 80% wool. I have both and they are both warm. I guess price is the difference that I see.

The only thing that works for me is l is if I wear "Injinji 2.0 Unisex Liner Crew Toesocks" as a first sock layer. No I don't work for them. I wear wool usually on the outside and then I can walk anywhere.

I wear them with 2mm neoprene socks and they are great. No chafing or anything. I actually used them today for more than 3 hours and not a problem in the world.

Hello, Yes, I wear them for daily wear as well as running. My impression is that my feet stay a little more dray and warm than in regular wool socks. The only downside is that they are low so your ankles will show if your pants aren't long enough.

No, for that you might want to try light weight Smartwool socks. These are for hot weather, they are very thin.

Absolutely YES!As I wrote in my original review, I was dependent on others to put on my socks until I purchased this devise. I am now a grown up again. It works for all lengths of hoisery.
