b.ella Joy Snowflake Socks (For Women)

great pair of socks

I haven't worn these yet. Am saving them for a public outing, since they are pretty. Hope they don't shrink any when wasbed, because they barely fit now.

I've been buying this brand since Sierra started carrying them, and now it's just about all I wear (although I still do wear Thorlos and Smartwool sometimes). But the B. Ella are so pretty, I wear them to work almost exclusively. They wear very well (except for the two pack super soft ones). These patterned socks seem nearly indestructible. Just don't put them in the dryer!!!!! Let them air dry.

When I washed these snowflake socks, they shrunk into a very narrow tube. I was still able to pull them onto my feet, but I had to inch them over my toes and heel. It took about a minute per foot, which is way too long to put on a pair of socks. Once on, they were quite comfortable though. I thought they would be tight, but they actually weren't. I also bought the scroll socks, which shrunk the same way; and the diamond socks, which were the only pair that did maintain its orginal shape and size. These would be great if you have narrow feet.

I bought two pairs of B Ella cashmere blend socks at STP two years ago...they became favorites but when I went back to order more, they were sold out. This time I ordered six pairs in various patterns and colors. They work great in my winter paddock boots, adding warmth without excess thickness (thicker socks tighten the fit and restrict circulation). I use them as a base layer too in my rubber wellies, with a cheap oversock to take the wear from heel rubs.

So far so good. Haven't had them long enough to comment on the durability. Look good. Feel good. Wash well.

not too bulky, keep feet warm, and oh so cozy

These are fabulous socks except for the fit. A narrow, long foot would be most comfortable in these. I can, however, pull them toward my heel and wear them without much trouble, but they don't fit right. They are extremely warm and comfortable, though, and the pattern is pretty.
