These are thick socks for wearing with hiking boots. They're made with Montbell's Wickron, so they should be breathable. I've used them many times, but there's no damage like the toes being about to tear or the elastic being stretched out. I think there's not much pilling either. However, since they are used socks, I'm listing them as slightly damaged. The color is green. I'm asking for this price (^-^)
