Gave this as a Christmas present. It's cold and snowy here, but he's worn it as an outer shell for snowshoeing and he's very happy with it. Tempest is a gorgeous color, sort of a smokey blue.

I love these socks! They're perfect for running or the gym, and they work just as well when I wear them to my business casual office. Glacier is pretty, although it's a little brighter teal than the picture looks.

I got a great deal on these at my local box sporting goods store. I went there just to try some on, planning to buy online, but I found a pair discounted to 40% of the MSRP. They are the Snow White color and the hems were a little dirty, so they had been marked down because it looked like they had been worn and returned. I'm about 5'4" and 125lbs (normally a size 4 or 6 in pants), and the small fits me perfectly. The waist fits well without being tight, and the length is perfect. I haven't worn them out yet, but my roommate owns these in black and loves them. The only feature I'd like is gaiters that tighten, but it's hard to complain at the price I found!

I wanted stylish winter boots that would keep me warm without feeling clunky, and these are perfect! They're tall enough to keep snow out while I brush off my car in the mornings, but not so tall or heavy it feels like I'm wearing bricks. The brown looks great with jeans, and the zipper makes getting them on and off very easy.

As for sizing, I wear a 7.5 in dress shoes and an 8 in anything that requires socks, and the 8 fits perfectly. I'd be wary of ordering a half size up, but if you're between two sizes like I am, the larger size should fit.

These socks are great for running or the gym, and I even wind up wearing them just around the house. The PhD compression bands make the sock fit tighter than other SmartWool socks, which just means the sock is extra supportive. My feet feel great after wearing SmartWool! The celadon/silver is very pretty.
