Prefer Original Invincible Sock,
November 10, 2009

"I have both the orginal invincible and extra socks. The problem with the extra version is that the instep is too tight and has probably skrunk. I have not had that problem with three different pairs of the orignal version. Is it possible to still obtain the orginal invincible sock (which I rate 5 stars)?
Thank You"

Disappointed on second purschased,
November 2, 2009
By:
Lacesfrom Alaska
"I have purchase these socks before and loved them. The second purchase I couldn't figure out why the socks torn/ ripped at the seams at the band! I ordered more hoping they would be great again. When they arrived, I checked out the tops where the band meets the sock and you can see through the fabric! On all six pairs! Now I know why these sock ripped so fast and didn't last like the first set I purchased! I am really Disappointed as I thought I had found my wool socks for life!"

He's got a pair in white, which they don't make anymore.
"One of my cats, Socks, recently gave me a set of these in Olive Green for my birthday. Now, with a name like Socks you would assume that he knows his stuff, and he really does. These feel good, don't shrink much at all, and they're pretty robust. The other sets that I have in my sock drawer (in Grey and in Charcoal, also gifts from Socks) are older and they're holding up nicely. I wear them all the time. If one day I should find that they come in more colours, I might put those on a future birthday list. They're a little pricey, so I am hoping to get a good number of years out of these. We shall see. Socks has to work pretty hard for the dough to pay for these, but he loves 'em and so do I. Put 'em on your list."

"I purchased an earlier version of these socks some years ago, and they were my favorite ever--I still have several pairs of them; they've held up exceptionally well and are still the most comfortable sock I've ever worn. These new "extras" are overkill--too padded, too thick, you practically need to move up a half shoe size to accommodate their bulk As a result they are also uncomfortably hot. I'm returning those that I haven't already worn for a refund. I'm very disappointed that Orvis felt the need to redesign and reinforce a product that was already perfect. Why not offer both the heavy-duty "extra" verson, and the original regular sock?"

"This is a sock designed intelligently. Extra padding where you need it. Not so heavy that your feet become too warm. In fact, I wear these in the New Mexico summers and they feel just fine. These socks will not disappoint."

Disappointed - a thumbs down review for sure,
January 21, 2009
By:

"Out of the box these socks are great. After 1 washing they had more hair sticking out of them than a 'scardy' cat on Halloween. In fact they were worse in this regard than any other sock I've owned. If you want these socks to look nice after washing I recommend you hand wash them and let them air dry - consider yourself warned. I have never had this problem with my Tilley socks, so I was a little surprised. Granted, the Tilleys cost more, but still these should do better with washing."

Best Socks I've Ever Owned,
January 19, 2009
By:
Bubs
"Ladies and Gentlemen,
I wanted to write to express my appreciation of these socks. I never thought I'd write such a thing for something so mundane as socks, but these socks are exceptional! I've worn them on four continents in weather ranging from below freezing while steelhead fishing in Wisconsin to 130 degrees fahrenheit in the deserts of the Middle East. These socks are extremely comfortable and durable. I'm very hard on clothing and usually run through a pair of socks in a year. I wear these all the time, and have done so for several years with not so much as a frayed thread thus far. My congratulations on the quality of this product! I wish all clothing were made this durable."

"I've been buying these socks for my husband for about 6 years now, and he has yet to wear a hole in any of them. He used to go through even expensive hiking socks in months, but these socks do no wear out. They thin out after years of wear, but I am just now preparing to throw out the first pair I purchased. Plus they are nice enough for him to wear with slacks and dress shoes for business.
Thank you Orvis for this awesome product!"

poodlemanicfrom Agassiz, BC Canada
"I've read the other reviews, and can't say much more than has already been said. They're comfortable, wear well and seem to be very "durable". Multiple pairs in the same color gives the washer/dryer the chance to eventually make good on the ones that "disappear"."

incredible socks, even for hot weather,
September 17, 2008
By:
bmhowardfrom Falls Church, VA
"It is supposed to be fall in Virginia, however I had the pleasure of wearing these socks during 3 90+F days this September and they provided an amazing amount of comfort. My feet felt cool and dry the entire time. These socks are extremely well built, close inspection of each part of the sock reveals an incredible amount of attention to detail for durability and comfort. I don't know that I'll ever be able to test them to 20,000 cycles as Orvis claims, but I know they will last until I lose them. My feet normally eat through socks like I had acid rain leaching through my pores, these socks have outlasted my usual pair with no signs of wear. The only thing a customer should bear in mind is that these are slightly thicker socks, about the thickness of a lightweight hiking sock, and so they may not work best with tight fitting shoes."

"My husband is very hard on socks. Other brands of super-strength socks have not lasted very long without wear patterns and even holes. He has had these for several months now, and there are no signs of any wear. So far, it looks like they are holding up very well."

By:
greylfzfrom Ohio
"I wore one pair of these for 14 straight days during a survival course in Utah. They were submerged in streams, baked in the sun and almost always full of sand - but not one blister the entire trek. My feet were as comfortable as they've ever been in similar situations. Now that I'm back & the socks are clean, I can't tell them apart from the other pairs that didn't make the trip. Even more amazing considering I had worn them for close to a year previous to the trip. Truly invincible."

"I cannot argue with the quality of these socks, I have been an Orvis sock fan for several years. However, I am a size 12 (UK) ( US 13?) and have great difficulty getting THESE socks on my feet. They are way too tight with very little "give" when trying to pull on. Once on they are OK. Orvis need to offer a XXL size"

"These socks were recommended by a friend, so I made my first Orvis purchase. I just placed an additional order for more. Yes, they are higher in price than the discount store socks, but these don't creep down my shoes. They just feel better. You get what you pay for."

"The socks are very comfortable, but for me, didn't wear to the published standards. I wear a size 15 shoe so the padded heel rides too low and wears out above the padding. Need XXL for us big feet guys!"

Great Wool Socks!!!,
March 12, 2008
By:
Gieserfrom Memphis, TN
"I have a problem with socks riding down my legs. I also need a sock that helps to absorb moisture. I have really tried a lot of socks, and I love the Orvis Invincible Cotton Socks, but I know wool keeps its color longer, etc. When I tried these, I loved them the first time I wore them. They did not slide down my leg and they really do well with absorbing moisture. Great job again, Orvis!"

You can be mild mannered Clark Kent at one moment and then do a quick change into Superman the next and never have to change your socks. These socks truly are gods gift to mankind!!!!!!"
