Solmate Socks - Mismatched Crew Socks for Women or Men

I just got these today, but there were unanswered questions I had when reading the reviews so I thought I'd post them here.First, the small size definitely fits a woman's 5-6 and a half shoe size. These "Cosmo colored" socks are not thin, but they are not as bulky as fleece socks either. The picture is realistic of what I received and how it fits the foot. I have small, wide (b-c) feet and these fit very well, with a little wiggle room side to side in the toes to make them comfortable. I have average legs and these fit very well on the ankles and calves. If you have wide lower legs, you might want to rethink these. They are NOT made to be slouchy in your fitted size (maybe if you go a size up?) The socks are not cushiony or extra soft, but they are comfortable. One review I read mentioned the rolled part of the sock in the picture. It puffs out like that when you wear them loose on your foot (which I like), but when they are off your feet the rolled section is flat...perhaps a different kind of stitching makes it that way. For looks these are a definite 10. For the money, yes it is a lot, but it is hard to find unusual clothing items without paying more. They are well made, and the fun, happy color combinations are wonderful, so ultimately the price value is up to you. For me, I will see how these wear over time and buy another pair. I will air dry them since in this size I wouldn't want them to shrink as other reviewers said. Maybe I'll splurge on a bigger size for a slouchier fit and machine dry them.

Durable, wash well. Love these! Beautiful colors!

After buying a couple of these socks in Boston in Jan at a store, and returning to N Ca (which was actually almost the same temp as Boston), I wore one pair and immediately loved them. Why? Well, for one thing, they're cute and fun, obviously. Love the mismatched pair that still goes together. I can wear them at home for long periods and they keep my feet warm, but not *too* warm. They don't make my feet uncomfortably hot and sweaty. I can wear them to work (I'm a physician) with pants. And best of all, my skin doesn't react to the elastic that is in most socks. I have ankle socks at home but after hours, my skin gets really itchy with hives. These socks stay up but don't cause a reaction in my skin. So I bought myself 8 more pairs, haha, plus a couple of knee highs. They're so fun and comfortable! I washed a pair already in cold wash and lined dry (I wash everything I love like that) and the colors are just as vivid and the socks are just as good, even softer. They also maintained their shape and size. LOVE this! (BTW, I also love the athletic socks I found online at Bombas.com. They donate a pair for every pair you buy, to homeless shelters)

I usually get a new pair of Solemates socks every year. I’ve had some pairs for more than 10 years. They are always well made, and soft, with such fun colors.

I absolutely love these socks. Comfortable, soft, and warm. Above all I love the intentional mismatch that stays in the same color theme. I have many pairs in different colors.

These socks are absolutely GORGEOUS, and very high quality! I ordered the Women's size Small. I usually knit my own socks out of merino wool (but don't enjoy doing color-work AT all), and these remind me of Cascade's Fixation yarn (super-stretchy cotton yarn). They are very, very stretchy. Unfortunately, my feet are a child's size 2/woman's size 4 (exactly 8" long) with very slender ankles, and the socks were much too large for me. I so much love colorful, mis-matching socks, that I've always made mine that way. My disappointment with the fit was pretty keen, but I knew it was a crapshoot when I ordered them. *sighI gave them a trip through the washer and dryer (with fingers crossed), but they remained too large, so - very little shrinkage. I gave them to my daughter, who wears a woman's size 6 to 6 1/2. While there was still too much "play" in the socks when she tried them on, they at least fit her feet better than they did mine. Her ankles are a bit sturdier than mine, but the sock didn't bind anywhere on her foot, at all.I would guess that the size Small in these socks might comfortably fit *up to* a woman's size 8, IF their feet were narrow to medium width, AND if they had slender-to-normal ankles, but that is just a guess. I'm not sure how well they would fit really sturdy ankles, if that same size 8 foot were also wide. Probably going up a size to Medium might be the best way to go, especially if the socks might shrink over time.I've just discovered they have kids' socks, as well, so have just ordered a pair (large) for myself, and will post a review when I get them. There aren't the color selections as there are for adult socks, but I'll take what I can get. :)

Socks are nice and warm. Makes good gifts for people you don`t know what to get.

I bought up a size and they are perfect. Fun for crazy sock day and super cute with Birks.Now I need every color….Just buy them!

I love these incredibly cute and funky socks great for men and women. Adds a lot of fun. well made. I’m glad Amazon started selling them. I used to have to buy them from a seed store. West Coast seeds but it’s much easier and faster to order off of Amazon. If you want something funky, fun, warm and comfortable…it’s becoming my go to gift fior my difficult to buy for friends.

Bought as a Xmas present, great socks, good quality. Sizing chart is all correct. Delivery was quick

Item was shipped to the wrong destination but another pair was supplied within 24 hours I couldn't ask more.Actual item made a brilliant Christmas present

家内が気に入ってます、しっかりした造りです

I started wearing these socks 2 years ago. At that time I bought 4 different pairs and those have been the only socks I’ve been using since. Finally after 2 years of wearing those pairs day in and day out they became a bit thin at the heels so I decided to buy 5 new pairs! They feel and fit great too. Looking forward to wearing these new ones for another 2 years or more!
