Are these good as a gift?

Yes, if the recipient likes slugs, biology or odd animal prints. The design is the selling point, so it lands best with someone who shares the joke.

They are standard crew socks. Fit follows the sock size offered, so check the listed size against your usual shoe size.

How should I wash them?

Turn them inside out and wash cold to protect the print. Skip high heat in the dryer, which is the usual cause of cracking novelty prints.

No. They are a casual novelty sock, not a cushioned athletic sock, so they suit everyday wear rather than running or hiking.

This is a single banana slug design. If you want variety, look at other animal-print novelty socks instead.
