I was in Costco yesterday & picked up some Kirkland brand merino wool socks - 4 pairs for $11. Usually these cheap socks are maybe 10 to 20% wool but these are 70% merino. They're not real heavy duty but for the price, they seem like pretty good socks. They should be very good for casual wear or moderate duty hiking.

my wife is always complaining about being cold, and especially her feet...minus June, July and August, she has the car heater on, blowing on her feet...

even at 74 degrees in the house, she's wearing a sweater...

bought her two sets of these socks.. 8 pair total....

She LOVES them...

now her little tootsies are warm!

great value! and nice socks..

I wear them almost daily.
They hold up very well. Heck of a good sock for the money.
They are as warm as my Smart wool socks.

That's CHEAP!

I'd spend a hundred bucks.

I buy 60 percent minimum and have paid 20 bucks a pair.

Wool is awesome.
Especially merino and lamb's.

You can wear it right against the skin with no itch.

These are a standard crew length. They'll work great with 6 or 7" boots but they're a little short for high tops.

I bought my first pack of them several years ago, and they're still going strong. I just bought a second pack on the theory that when I do finally need them, they won't make them any more.

Great socks.

Bought 2 packs for casual wear, they're great socks for the money!

They are my winter work socks, have worn them for four years, and are still going strong.

Kirkland DRESS socks suck, however. Don't last. One of the few items I have ever bought at Costco that are sub-standard.

Costco merino socks are a freakin great deal. Love them and wear them probably 7 months a year.

The paradox merino base layers are great as well for the price, even at only 5 or 10% wool.

Is there better stuff? Absolutely.
For the money? Nope.

MY Costco wool socks are three years old and still good enough shape to t least start this year. I love them.

Merino wool sock are all I wear. 365 days a year and the Kirkland sock last me about 6 months before I've walked holes in them. Other brands like danner last about the same. For the money it's a fair deal

Sams Club has a 70% Marino sock 4 pair for $14.00.They last forever and are warm.

Do they come in the larger sizes. My son wears a size 15 shoe.

I've been wearing them for years now.

Use them hunting down to the single digits,

But then again my feet run WARM. I wear sandals right up until snow flies.

Still, even when I still have older ones, I end up picking up a 4 pack every year.

Good luck with them,

Geno

I am wearing a pair right now. They may not be the ultimate sock, but for the price they seem awfully satisfactory.

I have at least four packs, as they stock them in season, not all year.

I buy three or four packs every year, except I skipped this year as I still had five new pairs on the shelf. They are the best deal out there and I wear them year round.

DO NOT be fooled by the shoddy imitations sold by Sportsmans Guide. One year when the Costco socks were late coming in, I panicked and bought some of the SG brand. They didn't even come close in quality or wear. SG has some good deals, but not these.

Cariboujack: I am a duck-footed 13EEE and the largest Costco size just fits after washing. Sorry. My older son has monster feet too and good socks and boots are tough to come by.

I'd say no. My son uses size 13 and that is pushing it.

Sorry, but no. I wear 12's and their largest are just barely big enough.

Same here. I also like the cabelas wool socks. I think they come in a 3 pack.

I also believe they come in bigger sizes. I bought the XL and I think they're sized for 12-16. A little loose being a size12

AcesNeights;
Good afternoon to you sir, I trust this finds you and yours well.

I'm in the same situation as you since finding them a couple years back - although I'd say they last me about 8 months more or less.

They are the only thing that seems to keep my feet warm and dry in all of our varied Okanagan weather.

Anyway here's another vote for the Kirkland socks.

All the best to you folks.

haha...just got back an hour ago from Costco with these and was preparing to text my buds to go get 'em...wearing them now..paid $13 for 4 pair.

they feel great....I may grab a few more sets tomorrow.

wearing em over 10 years. great deal

I've been buying those socks for years, and they're one of the best deals going. Right up there with $28 Buck 110s.

So, you like my socks.

Why...Thank You!

I have a big pile of them in my closet that haven't even been worn yet because the first batch (20 pairs) I bought about 5 years ago are still going strong.

I've lost a few to holes in the toes due to inattentive toenail clipping, but I wear them everyday. I buy a couple or three packs every fall when I do my semi-annual shopping in the late fall.

I have maybe 10 pairs of cotton socks. They are worn in the house only.

I've use these for hunting and hiking. Very good value and a good height for my boots. They are very comfortable and good cushion on the bottom. The thing I love the most is once you have them on, they don't move - very little chance of rubbing and blisters, even with a new boot.

Yup, COSTCO will have some great prices if you are vigilant. Of course none of it is made in the USA but what else is new?

As far as clothing and textiles go, the USA lost that struggle to "free trade" decades ago. Some would say they like the prices, but it certainly has had an impact on domestic employment.

Sorry to be a buzz-killer, but the socks under discussion are made right here in 'Merica.

Hope you all are happy. I bought a pack.

Then my work here is done. Thank me later.

I'd love to shop at Costco. The no weapons sign in the front door keeps me from patronizing killing zones.

Signs? Please. The first "C" stands for concealed.

Well chit - ya'll sold me and just bought two 4 packs...

Worked good for the Vet in Vegas that printed and was shot to death on the way out by two eager beaver rookie cops.

What are socks?

fuzzy things we put on our feet to keep them warm.....

hope you weren't going barefooted in your snowmobile boots back there in No MN as a kid....

my ex wife was from Chisholm... she was so lazy, that she use to walk out to the mail box barefooted thru the snow.. said it never bothered her... but she turned out to be part Walrus anyway.....

on the socks, stopped by Costco after the movies tonight and even tho they were closing in like 10 minutes, had the time to buy me a packs of 4......

since you guys talked them up so well....

Got mine at Costco today, always stock up each year!
