Review:
Pro: Warm. Thick foot, very tall, color I haven't seen anywhere else.
Con: For thin to medium calf. Would likely be too tight on thick calf.

I got some Italian ones from them a while back- not quite so long, but nice and thick.

I recently ordered a trio of the Czech wool socks to go with some other *ahem* 'Italian clothing reminiscent of British hunting attire'. They are absolutely wonderful to wear once washed a few times to get the odour out and softness in. If you own a surplus commando sweater, they match that perfectly in colour and texture and look rather dashing with the garters showing. I have a US size 10 foot and they are just large enough.

Did yours have any label for fiber content? It is difficult to make a comparison without that information, and the site did not say.

In the UK, found these but not sure if they look long enough?

Sorry, no tags on mine.

Received another pair today with tag. 75% Wool, 25% polyester. Made by "Sturm" in Germany. Machine wash cold delicate cycle.

Readers;
For the 'what its worth department'---"Strum" makes the West German army boots I am wearing as I peck this email. They were made in 1975, and I got them a few years ago, via Sportsmans Guide. They are holding up very well:: so, it seems the Socks from the same military supplier should do the same. I think I will buy a couple of pairs.
Thanks for the tip Larry 124
As ever
