These are just some classic "around the house" type socks. they're not comfortable enough to wear with some boots or anything. just super snuggly and soft for lounging purposes only. i love them and am contemplating buying the other pair. i got the blue and white ones to go with the farrier tee in blue and white. i'm kind of bummed that i can't wear these anywhere but no worries. they'll be great with some joggers and a sweatshirt while i work the crossword over a cup of coffee. would recommend
