Solmate Socks - Mismatched Crew Socks for Women or Men

I'm a knitter. I could handknit socks like this for cheaper than $20, it's true. However, I couldn't do it easily. Socks are the main type of project that gives me ceaseless headaches. I'm happy to pay $20 for these high-quality, fun and sturdy socks. My only beef is that I bought the Medium (I'm a size 8) hoping they'd still fit after laundering. I got them today and laundered them immediately, and they are now almost - *almost* - too small. They feel like compression socks now. So in the future I'll be ordering the Large so that they shrink comfortably to my foot instead of squeezing. (For your reference, my laundry cycle includes a cold water 'casual' wash in Dreft followed by an 80-minute hot tumble dry. This is, I mean, for a full load of laundry! I wouldn't launder just one pair of socks.)

I originally bought a pair at the Fred Hall Fishing Show in March. They were so cute that I bought one pair. I mean, who doesn't like mismatched socks? Plus they were handmade with cotton yarn and appeared to be well made.These socks are extremely comfortable. I have worn them with my Crocs and worn them around the house on cold days. Since I only had one pair, I was constantly washing them. It's been 9 months and the color has not faded nor has the material been worn down. Really wished I had purchased more. Therefore, I was pleasantly surprised to see these on Amazon. Problem is: which color combination to choose next. Hmmmm.

These socks are both beautiful and comfortable. They look wonderful, and I've received quite a few compliments on them.They are moderately thick and provide a decent amount of cushioning. If you usually wear thin socks, be aware that they may not work with some of your shoes. I personally prefer to wear mine with my sneakers or my Doc Martens.I have these socks in several different colors. So far all of them have stood up well through multiple washings. They are color fast.I can recommend them with confidence.

LOVE LOVE LOVE Solmate socks. When I wear them I get the best compliments. Not only are they cute, they are also warm and cozy and great for the winter or anytime really. It had been a few years since I purchased a pair, and the material had changed ever so slightly. With my most recent purchase of solmate socks, I could tell the material or something had changed. The material was Super stretchy and much more comfortable than past pairs. They last for a much longer period of time than the old ones. I still have my old ones, they last forever! But the newer stretchy material is my favorite and much more comfy. I would recommend sizing down a little bit for them to fit probably

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. :)

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)

They are fun to wear. Not quite as soft as anticipated, but not a big problem. HINT: I did weave the longer threads that are inside the socks, so there is no chance of catching my toes on them. They are expensive, but definitely worth the money. Everyone needs a pair of Solmate mismatched crew socks. Do recommend this length, as the ankle length would be too short to show off the great colours & wonderful designs.March 30/16... PURCHASED 2nd pair...Beautiful colours. Same great quality. Makes the mornings more fun when you put on a beautiful, comfortable FUN SOCKS.

My wife loves these socks, especially at Christmas! She said they are very comfortable and she loves the mismatched design. Not any more expensive than similar quality socks you would find in store, but their designs are a lot more fun. Will probably order more.

These are great socks. Comfortable, durable and fun to wear. I got a pair for a gift that were the same colour (black, white and grey) as a pair I had purchased. I thus learned that although each pair is "mismatched" they are identical, so if you chose, you could have two pairs of perfectly matched socks! (But where is the fun in that?)

These socks are excellent. I have bought the same socks before and the wear well, colors last, socks do not stretch out. And everybody loves them. I have more than a dozen pairs. I wear them daily. They are especially nice when I have been kayaking all day and my feet are waterlogged, then they draw the moisture from my feet. Perfect socks for me.

Socks are either too thin or too thick. These socks are perfect. I hope that these socks don't get holes in them because they are expensive.
