I have worn SmartWool socks for years, and have tried other wool socks but they are all to itchy. Have any of you had sensitivity to wool?

I have sensitivity to wool, and I have absolutely no problems with this socks. In fact I went and bought three more pairs after the first ones.

No itches here my dear...I cannot wear wool either but this is the fine yarn and it works great! I have my good witch ones on as we text. I wear them all year long unless it is extremely warm. Hope you try them. I've got five pair.

For best results, part way through the dry cycle, take out the socks and turn them inside out. I have also put them through a normal dry cycle with no problems as well.

They leave some marks on my legs. I don't need them but I don't like how most socks are made today, like Hanes, which are tighter than they used to be and don't last anymore. These socks are very comfortable and durable but they do leave some marks and an indentation around the band. If you don't want indentations, maybe try 100% wool socks.

I wore wool socks all the time when I was in the Army. They were mandatory at a winter combat survival course I attended. These are definitely warmer than wool and are much less scratchy. Although you may notice that they are a bit thicker than other socks due to the layering of different materials intended to hold in heat more efficiently. But that's not much of a downside in my opinion. It was -10 degrees when I left the house yesterday morning and my feet were nice and toasty all day.

Truly I do not know. If I had to hazard a guess, I would say no. I'm very happy with them and they are thick and warm. They do not itch me at all. If you are allergic to wool, you may want o call the manufacture. I don't remember if there is anything in the description. Sorry I could not be more helpful.

I purchased one of these comforters and love it. I don't know how you'd really know the actual fiber content - isn't this the same issue anytime you purchase anything? That it's tagged 100% wool, and from a country with a similar economic status to ours is a good sign. What I can say is that if it did have synthetic materials, I think I'd notice because I am highly sensitive to products that don't "breathe" - I sweat under polyester, for instance, so don't wear it. This comforter is excellent.

The thermal ones would, but I would be too hot. I think a smart wool would work better. Michigan winter. Depends on your intensity of workout

As a 15 year user of these excellent socks, just follow the sizing guidance form the website. I love em. Never blister either.

I don't know personally...but my wife has cold feet all the time and when she wears these she does not! She has been very happy with these socks.

I have mine under a thin mattress pad. It doesn't smell. Most wool retains its wooly smell throughout its live. You may be particularly sensitive to it, so I recommend a protective pad above your pad.

100% wool vs 80% wool. I have both and they are both warm. I guess price is the difference that I see.

Kw2013,I don't know what women's spa socks are like. Sorry.Why don't you just buy a pair of the Terries Slip Resistant Socks and decide for yourself?

I'm not sure, but my husband and I both swear by these socks. They are thick and soft, not scratchy, and incredibly warm. Also, they don't shrink or get little wool fuzzy balls on them when they're washed.

They can be a little itchy due to the wool content but for warmth they are great. Here in Vermont we need the warmth.

The felt on the one my son has does not feel itchy. He hasn't complained about the comfort at all... We tried a few other products and this has been the most comfortable for him. Good luck :)

I have not! It brings the softest feel ever, to all our wool and cashmere sweaters, amazing, I've often wondered what my regular clothes would be like if I were to substitute that for the Laundress Darks I use for normal machine washing, probably the same softness!

Unfortunately, I had the same results. I talked with a physician and learned that the only effective socks (of course, very expensive) had more of a silver lining. I also consider the spray to be expensive and not very long lasting.
