They have a built in sock. They have their own website but I can't get it up right now.

Depending on how thick the sock is, I could get behind that. I feel like I usually end up wearing socks with my tights when I wear my boots.

But the price they're asking is a bit much for me.

This is uber-brilliant. I usually wear a sock inside my tights when I'm wearing tall boots, to add warmth.

I usually add a sock *outside* of my tights, especially since the inside of some of my boots snags a little on the tights and creates little pulls.

What a great idea. I wonder if the sock part would stay put. I find sometimes a sock will slide down into the boot if it is too short a style.

Just checked the price and they are a bit high but not too bad since the thicker sock part is where tights often rip so they would probably last longer.

It's an interesting idea but it seems like it's just as easy to wear a pair of socks over the tights. I'm not sure why I would need special tights with a built in sock.

Love the idea, I wear socks over my tights with boots. Filing away for next winter.

Nice. My feet get cold in my boots with just tights.

Great idea - sometimes I find the sock over the tights too bulky over slimmer fitting boots so this would be perfect.

I came across these online recently too, but I'm a little confused about why you can't just wear a pair of tights and a pair of socks over them (which is what I always do) for a lot less money. Plus then you can choose the socks based on how high your boots are.

I saw these at Nordies last year...but I just wear footless tights and socks; that way there isn't anything pulling on my toes like happens with tights and socks. So these didn't really seem helpful to me.

These are neat! I usually wear a think sock over my tights because my feet sweat a lot.

What Diana said. My boot heights vary widely, and if you don't want the tights to touch your skin, you can wear the socks under like Una, or just get footless tights.

I almost ordered some of these from TravelSmith because I like my toes "free" in my socks and not with a layer of pantyhose or tights under. However, I have shoe and boot-specific socks (sadly) to get the best fit, plus I mostly need them for warmth under slacks, so I think I'm gonna do the footless tights and socks combo.
