Comments about SmartWool Adventurer Socks:

These socks are very comfortable and warm, which is what I was going for. I did notice sometimes the socks get a little too warm for me.

Comments about SmartWool Adventurer Socks:

They look nice and I'd endorse then for wearing at the office, they're good for that.

All mine wore through at the toes after 2 months, so about 8 uses? But I was walking in them and stuff.

Comments about SmartWool Adventurer Socks:

Bum legs here; can't stand any tight elastic. I wear these socks all the time because they are the ONLY ones I can find that don't dig into my legs. They are lasting quite well, in spite of some pilling. After a few years they are starting to wear in the heels - not unexpectedly - and they will shink a little if exposed to hot water or dryer but that's not an issue if you choose a slightly larger size or keep them away from heat. I would be lost without them.

Comments about SmartWool Adventurer Socks:

I have three pair of these socks. They are the most comfortable of all the Smartwool socks that I have. I have had them for two years, and they have still maintained their cushion and are holding together just fine. I'm surprised these aren't rated by others higher.

Comments about SmartWool Adventurer Socks:

I read the all of the reviews before buying these socks, so I was a little worried about them but decided that I would give them a try anyway. Most people just like to be negative without real cause, right? Well, unfortunately, the negative reviews were dead on. While these socks look great, the elastic doesn't hold them up. I've worn them exactly twice so far and they fall down many times throughout the course of the day.

Whoever suggested that you buy real hiking socks from SmartWool was absolutely right. I bought a pair of the "Trekking Heavy Crew" socks and they are SO MUCH BETTER for $1 LESS! I wouldn't waste your money on these. Go for the thickest, warmest hiking socks you can get from SmartWool. Great brand - bad execution on these.

Good on a mantle at Xmas

Comments about SmartWool Adventurer Socks:

Ii agree with prior reviews citing heel wearing out and pilling after only a few wearings. Checked for what other said to decide whether to ask for replacement or refund and will definitely ask for my money back based on my experience and that of others.

Comments about SmartWool Adventurer Socks:

I'm sorry to see so many bad reviews of these socks. I've had mine for two years, worn them in the house, and out on the trail, and to work, and they are holding up fine. No, they aren't "hiking socks". If you want strictly socks for hiking, but hiking socks. If you want comfortable, all-purpose socks you'll look forward to wearing each time, buy these!

Needs more elastic

Best Uses

Comments about SmartWool Adventurer Socks:

They're decent socks, but they're heavily lacking in the elastic department. They just stretch out and stay that way. Sometimes when I stuff my foot into my shoe, the sock bulks up behind my heel because of the stretch.

Spend a little more money and get the SW PHD Outdoor Light Crew. Amazing socks.

I love these socks. I have worn them to the office, and worn them out on the trail. They are the most comfortable socks I have. They haven't worn or lost their elasticity in the least. I highly recommend them!

Comments about SmartWool Adventurer Socks:

Really great sock but...yes it is true, the heels DO wear out too fast-a bit of reinforcement would go a long way toward making them last much longer.

I would like them to be a bit higher, as well, so they don't fall down inside my boots.
