      Comments about Teko EcoMerino Wool Light Hiking Crew Socks:

      I did a short day hike in these socks and they were great. Very soft and comfortable, not itchy, the toe seams are flat so you don't feel them on your little toes. Good for light hiking - you'd want something thicker if you're carrying a pack.

      Wore out toe and heel. Compared to SmartWool and REI brands, these are not worth the extra cost.

        Comments about Teko EcoMerino Wool Light Hiking Crew Socks:

        Teko socks are the best-fitting socks I've found. The technical fit is supportive especially in the arch. The seamless toes have kept my feet blister-free. I like that the footbed and leg have cushion but the top of the foot doesn't, so it's not too hot and they fit in my everyday shoes.

        Wicks as well or better than other performance merino socks I've tried. Great feel and they last a long time- reinforced heel and toe.

        I also like that Teko uses chlorine-free wool and manufactures in the USA.

          Comments about Teko EcoMerino Wool Light Hiking Crew Socks:

          Without question, the most comfortable and versatile socks I own. I wear them as liners for hiking and backpacking and I wear them for running. They would even be suitable for a business-casual work environment. They fit perfectly and have the best balance of snug and form-fitting, but not too snug or restrictive. Just the right amount of padding and they regulate heat well.

          ONE TIP: Do NOT wash them every time you use them. Unlike synthetic socks, you don't need to and you can use them a number of times before needing to wash them. They will last much longer that way. If you wash them too often, they will wear out much faster.

            Comments about Teko EcoMerino Wool Light Hiking Crew Socks:

            I have 6 pairs of these socks and I've been using them for 2 years non-stop. I have worn them with my light hiking boots on day hikes and find them comfortable and have great toe seams so no rubbing. If I were backpacking I would want a heavier sock though. I've travelled all over the world including Europe in the winter and wore them with casual city shoes and they kept my feet warm plus they look good. Great for travelling. They dry fast so you can wash them out at night in your hotel room and you're good to go the next morning. I've worn them with my running shoes in the winter in So Calif and they are comfortable and no rubbing on the toe seams. I wear these socks all the time for casual wear. I have not had any wear out or wear thin and I wear them literally ALL the time.

            Comments about Teko EcoMerino Wool Light Hiking Crew Socks:

            These are thin enough to wear everyday, even as "dress" socks to the office. They keep the feet dry in stuffy shoes. However, they wear quickly - in less than 1 year one has poked a hole in the toe and another is about to do so. I will buy more anyway because I hate wearing cotton socks.

              These socks totally rock. I have been wearing Teko sock for several years now and they are so amazing that they are now the only socks I wear. They are ridiculously comfortable, are made was super soft and really strong fibers and as an extra bonus are constructed of sustainably produced fibers. They also happen to last way way longer than other socks so you can wear them happily for years and not have to be constantly replacing them. I love these socks and am sure you will love them as well.

                Comments about Teko EcoMerino Wool Light Hiking Crew Socks:

                There is nothing like a great pair of socks to compliment a good pair of shoes/boots. For me it used to be bridgedale but since purchasing a couple pairs of Teko socks this summer I am totally sold. They are more comfy (in all respects) than I had ever imagined a sock could be. So far, like bridgedale, they've held up very well.
