This item is new and unused. As the tag says, "socks you can wear for warmth," I believe they are thick socks. The tag was removed and separated for shipping due to the thickness, but it is a new, unused item that had the tag attached until just before listing. Neither pair has been tried on. I have many similar socks, so I've decided to sell these. Please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned about home storage. Both colors are shades of gray. They will be packed compactly in a bag and shipped via Yu-Packet Post.
