Has anyone tried these socks? I have seen the ad on Tv quite a bit. I have problems with feet getting cold. Got them frost bit about 60 years ago and problems ever since.

Never tried them but really like Smartwool socks. Very comfortable and very warm.

they don't get very good reviews on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/35-Below-Soc...p;adgrpid=77882810149&th=1&psc=1these are what I use https://www.amazon.com/FoxRiver-Outlander-Mid-Calf-Olive-Large/dp/B00CSJ1XX4/ref=sr_1_10?crid=15C5G16VX0VJW&dchild=1&keywords=fox%2Briver%2Bsocks%2Bmen&qid=1577844292&sprefix=fox%2Briver%2Bsock%2Cfashion%2C184&sr=8-10&th=1&psc=1 I have had better socks yet but for every day wear I use these I get them at Fleet Farm for 6.99 a pair but I have had some pairs 5 years or more they are starting to get thread bare in spots , but I wear them all year round because they do a good job of moisture management. my feet sweat it seems all the time so moisture is a big part of my feet getting cold. Fox river has higher percentage wool also but 2 pair of these and insulated boots do a nice job and don't break the bank 2 pair and my rubber boots are nice for when it is wet out. merino wool is great but 20 dollars for a pair of socks it is a lot for every day wear. keeping your legs warm is also very important and many people forget about it. I wear these https://www.farmandfleet.com/products/g-10815-work-n-sport-ecwcs-poly-fleece-drawer.html with work boots (not insulated steel toe) and the fox river socks and overalls , the matching top to these long underwear , a t-shirt and a sweat shirt I can cut wood outside all day at in the teens and 20s with not much wind if it is windy or single digits I need to add another layer with a coat. I gave up on cutting wood below zero my log splitter doesn't wants to work and everything is a fight. I stay home a burn wood those days

Never tried them but really like Smartwool socks. Very comfortable and very warm. X2 X 3 I've been wearing Ingenious socks by Wigwam for years. Not Smartwool brand but same basic design; Merino wool outer with Olefin liner built in. I've been very happy with them.
Eh...wot?

Well, I guess I got my question answered and even if only $20.00 * shipping.... not worth my dollars to try them. I figured as much hype they were being given, it was to good to be true. Thanks for all of your opinions and thank you GreenCountyPete for the Amazon link. Some of the negative reviews were exactly the same problems I have. I guess you can't beat a good old pair of mukluks.
