So far so good, appear well made and the usual bridgedale quality. I'm a women's size 8 and the medium is a good fit although the top band could be slightly tighter as they do fall down after a while. They're not labelled as unisex though, they are actually a mans sock which might be why they're a bit loose on the calf. They wash well and dry very quickly. They're a good length coming up to the knee and have compression band support around the ankle, mid foot and heel. The colour is nothing special, a standard grey which is fine with me as it just looks like an ordinary sock for casual wear. They're really thin and have no additional padding. I was expecting them to be a little warmer, I've been wearing a pair around an admittedly cold house all day and they're not as warm as a traditional thermal sock. I think this will make them quite versatile for Spring and Autumn wear or during heavy exertion when surplus body heat is generated. I wanted them for wear with trainers so perfect for my purposes. At the reduced price appear to be a bargain.
