anyone ever use these? 70% merino wool, 4 pairs for $12. my calculator says that works out to $3 a pair.

i currently use wright or rrs coolmax running socks, was going to pick up some darn toughs but at $20 a pair....

Feet are the wrong place to have money be deciding factor. I know that is not your question. I know nothing of the socks you ask about. I do know I would pay $40 a pair for my Darn Toughs if that was as cheap as I could get them for.

Somebody mentioned these socks before, I don't know who it was. I have no experience with them but 70% is a good percentage of wool. More than a lot of major brands.
