These socks are very basic. They are so basic that it is enough to satisfy Mr.FussySox who is fussy about no fuss. Knit with ribbing to keep 'em up. Made with 100% superwash wool, you'll never have to break out into cold feet sweat again! BTW, superwash means you can throw 'em in the washer/dryer without fear of shrinkage.
