Verified claims
- Origin
- Exclusive design made in Italy, designed in Canada
- Pattern
- Fair Isle snowflake, deer and dotwork motifs on a blue ground with white accents
- Silhouette
- Knee-high knit with solid white cuff, heel and toe
- Material
- 36% merino wool, 36% acrylic, 26% polyamide, 2% spandex
- Blend roles
- Acrylic and polyamide add durability and shape retention; spandex gives cuff stretch
- Moisture
- Merino wool wicks and buffers moisture to help keep feet warm and dry
- Construction warmth
- Stranded Fair Isle knitting adds warmth through floats and trapped air
- Construction risk
- Loose floats can snag when putting the sock on; tight floats can pucker
- Padding
- Padded knit adds cushioning, but too much padding can tighten shoe fit and reduce breathability
- Fit
- Runs long and narrow; reviewers recommend sizing down or checking calf width, and no size chart is supplied
- Calf fit
- Some find the top elastic loose on slender calves; others say they stay up without squeezing
- Comfort
- Cushioned and cozy after long days, though a few find them less soft than expected for merino
- Warmth
- Warm enough for boots and shoes without a thick sole
- Care
- Machine wash cool gentle; do not bleach, tumble dry or iron; lay flat to air dry
- Durability
- Mixed durability: some get years of wear, others report rapid sole wear or fabric degradation after washing
- Maintenance
- Machine washing is the main risk; careful handling and air drying help extend life
- Uses
- Suited to skiing, skating, all-day winter wear under boots and lounging
- Gifting
- Attractive Fair Isle design and low price make them a go-to gift
- Styling tradeoff
- Bright patterned colourways limit coordination with subdued neutral outfits

Compared within this brand.
| Norwegian Fair Isle Merino Sock: Choose this if you want warm, padded knee-high socks for cold-weather skiing, skating, or all-day wear under boots: the merino wool blend insulates without bulk, wicks moisture, and reported reviews say they stay up without squeezing calves. The wintry Fair Isle design with snowflakes, deer, and dots makes them a popular gift, though the color range leans bright—this Baby Blue variant is not ideal for subdued looks. Note that sizing runs long and narrow with no size chart, so many reviewers recommend sizing down, and machine washing can degrade the fabric or wear through the soles quickly.[1] | Organic Cotton Athletic Socks 3-Pack: Choose this if you want everyday athletic socks with secure fit — reviewed as comfortable, keeping their shape, and staying put without slipping — in a pack of three pairs made of 75% organic cotton. Note that reviewers report the sizing runs small (a medium-wearer needed a larger size), and one runner expects they may not last a full season of heavy use.[2] | Breathable Knit Crew Socks: Choose this if you want breathable crew-length socks with a stretch recycled nylon knit (91% reprocessed nylon, 9% elastane), zero seams, and a reinforced heel and toe. The brand highlights arch compression for excellent support, and the socks come in Black, White, and Teal across SMALL, MEDIUM, and LARGE sizes — though the Teal option is listed only in MEDIUM.[3,4,5] |

So nice!
Perfect for skiing
Great winter socks
They keep you warm, fit well into boots and don't slip down while you wear them. Yet they don't overly squeeze your calves. Perfect!
Too thick
These are super long and super thick. I wasn't prepared for knee-highs!
Très chaude et confortable

Warm and comfortable
These socks are fantastic! I was a bit worried the they would be too big, but once I tried them on I realized they were perfect. Theses socks are warm and cozy, but not too bulky, so they fit in my shoes. For reference I ordered them in Medium and I wear a ladies size 8 shoe.

Beautiful warm socks
Norwegian design socks made in Europe. Thank you Simon’s for offering these. I was looking at socks by the top brand of Norwegian sweaters and they were Made in China but you delivered much better quality. I’ve had similar socks by same brand for a few years and they are so warm and durable. As an experienced knitter I appreciate the design, detail and quality of these socks.

Je n’ai pas reçu ma commande donc difficile de le commenter.
J’adore
Les bas tiennent bien au pied et sont vraiment agréable à porter
Nice and warm. . could be softer
They are nice and warm but they don’t feel as soft as they should.
Jolis, confortables, mais aucune indication sur les grandeurs à commander
35% laine Merinos. Très beaux bas coussinés. J'ai dû commander les deux grandeurs en l'absence de charte. Finalement j'en déduis que les Small font bien pour les chaussures de grandeur 7 à 9.
Très beau
