    Comments about Teko EcoMerino Wool Quarter Socks:

    Rode The Whole Enchilada in Moab with a new pair of these socks and they were fantastic - even after dousing them in an icy stream on Burro Pass in the first 3 miles, they dried quickly, and the next 25 miles were awesome.

      Comments about Teko EcoMerino Wool Quarter Socks:

      Bought 1 pair to try out on a 12 mile hike that went through fairly rough terrain and through streams and they endured it all without causing any discomfort. Also nice that it comes in a 1/4 sock as some hikes can get pretty hot. Would buy tons more if they were a little cheaper. Like that the company is "Green". Wind power for the factory is awesome.

      Comments about Teko EcoMerino Wool Quarter Socks:

      These are great socks...well made, great feel, breathable, etc. I would definitely recommend them, but with one caveat. I have had my pair for just a few months and they are already showing signs of wear (small areas of thinning on pressure points). I will buy more because I like these so much, but don't expect them to last long.

          Comments about Teko EcoMerino Wool Quarter Socks:

          Awesome socks. Fits like skin, holds firm, won't slide around or bunch up. Very warm and comfortable. Not too sure about moisture wicking, my feet were pretty damp at the end of the hike, however, I was wearing another pair of socks over them and it was still nothing compared to how damp cotton socks will make your feet. They dry very quickly and don't seem to shrink or stretch. Great socks.

          I love wool socks. But sadly the heel on these Teko socks wears out too fast for my taste. It'll be down to just the mesh netting that holds the sock together in less than a year of casual use.

            Comments about Teko EcoMerino Wool Quarter Socks:

            I have recently started running again and was growing tired of the seams of my socks irritating my feet. I bought several pairs of socks to try including the Injinji Tetratsok Mini Crew Socks, the WrightSock Double Layer Coolmesh Quarter Sock, the WrightSock Double Layer CoolMesh Low Sock and lastly, the Teko EcoMerino Wool Quarter Socks. These Teko socks were by far the best of all of the socks that I tried. The seams are nonexistent, the socks are light and they dry quickly. These are the best running socks that I have ever owned and certainly worth the extra cost over the other socks that I tried. Highly recommended.
