I am mostly concerned with how thick these are - I usually get medium cushioning smartwool socks. does anyone know if these are comparable to those?

Yes, these have a good amount of cushoning. They're comparable to smartwool medium cushion

I do not think they are as fluffy as smart wool socks. They are a denser weave. I think they may be slightly less thick, but since the fabric is denser, it protects my feet just as well or better. I prefer Darn Tough to Smart Wool because of this. Also, they do not get stretched out as much as Smart Wool.

I really like these socks, but they tend to shrink on me after a few washings. Not terrible, still comfortable but I noticed the shrinkage. I also wear 13 wide and bought the large. In the future I think that I will go up a size to xl. I think that this would be a good fit for you.

I would recommend a medium; I'm shorter - 5'4 and weigh the same & ordered the medium. They fit well and are warm. Only con is they will shrink if you put them in the drier (a little -can still wear them) whereas my Smartwools don't - course, the Smartwools are a lot pricier.

Georgia, These Terries do not have a lot of cushioning, but the 'gripper' design on the soles does provide some cushioning, at least a little more than just the cloth socks alone. I've found that these Terries last a lot longer for walking around the inside of the house than a regular sock would last. Hope that this information helps. <JGE>

I ordered the Pintoli/Fytto Style 1020 Women's Comfy Compression Socks, 15-20mmHg, Knee High, Black, Large Size, and I absolutely love them! They are thick but have a nice silky feel. I cannot imagine them snagging or getting a run. They seem very durable.

They are a bit thicker than a normal sock. Wouldn't so much say they are great for for winter.

I purchased the gray "XXL adult" pillow paws Terries Slip Resistant Socks. They are 16.5" long when they are new. I tried other brands, but this brand fit my feet the best, and they are Double Imprinted, which means that you can wear them with the slip-resistant marks on the top or the bottom of the foot; because they are "tube" socks, there is no heel. They seem to last longer than other brands which have the slip-resistant marks only on one side of the tube sock. They come in different sizes which are color-coded: Toddler (yellow); Youth (Lt. blue); Adult (Teal); XL Adult (Tan); XL Adult (Red), and XXL Adult (Gray). I recommend them.

These socks are too thick to wear with shoes....unless maybe they were a pair of slip on shoes. It would be too bulky to pair with tennis shoes, flats, or boots.

I purchased these for my mother (size 9.5 womens) who has extremely swollen feet. These socks are thick and stretchy. Since you are in the middle of the two sizes, I think the question becomes what are your personal preferences in terms of how high you want the sock coming up your calves. If you want them on the lower side I would get the 8-11.

I have purchased both the dress sock and the regular compression sock. The dress sock is more of a traditional knitted type sock. I didn't feel the dress sock felt like as firm of a compression as the regular sock.

I didn't try to sleep with them. This particular brand did not give me enough compression (I'm 145 lbs). But my 83 year old husband, who has skinny legs found the this brand tight enough to wear during the day that his legs didn't get as tired (he walks about an hour and a half). I prefer the compression socks with specific milliliter sizes, rather than those which are just small medium and large. I ecommended a different brand, responding to an Amazon question like yours and my answer was removed. Neither found the need to wear them at night.

I think they are somewhat similar but thinner and silkier. I prefer a thicker sock.

I agree with the two previous answers. They are "performance" thick. Thick enough not to rip or be seen through or fall down, but cool and moisture wicking.

These Are Not Socks that you can wear With shoes, as they are too thick and fluffy. Think of them more like a Slipper Sock on steroids! If these don't keep your entire foot warm, You should contact your MD, in my humble opinion.

Hi, sorry I dont have the sock on me right now to check the tag. You should ask the seller. I can tell you that they feel like average quality socks. Meaning they are comfortable, but not plush. I hope that helps.

They are very thick, I just ordered the smaller size. Sorry I couldn't help with your question.

I don't find them any heavier than normal socks. They definitely are a great buy however. Very comfortable.
