Comments about SmartWool PHD Running Ultra Light Micro Socks - Women's:

I have always liked SmartWool socks and trained in them for my races and used them for some races. I used these socks in my first marathon yesterday and have no blisters and my feet weren't overly sweaty. They were perfect. I will never race in other socks again.

Comments about SmartWool PHD Running Ultra Light Micro Socks - Women's:

These are the best socks I have ever owned! Like the previous reviewer, I was really apprehensive about wearing wool on my feet. My feet get really hot when I walk, run or workout and these socks keep my feet feeling cool, dry and comfortable. Don't hesitate to buy these socks PLUS the watermelon color socks support breast cancer!

Comments about SmartWool PHD Running Ultra Light Micro Socks - Women's:

Nice, comfortable socks that wick away moisture. Not terribly in love with the silver color, it makes the socks look dirty. But I do like the pink. Also, I'm a size 10 and ordered a large according to the size chart. They felt a bit big, so next time I order this pair (which I will mostly like do in the future) I'll try a size medium. Overall, good socks, would recommend.

Comments about SmartWool PHD Running Ultra Light Micro Socks - Women's:

I absoloutely love these socks! I have been using them for about 7 months and they are still in great condition. I have 3 pair that I rotate through and I use them several times a week. They show no noticable signs of wear except my oldest pair is a little discolered, probably from all the sweat.

They wick moisture very well. My feet have never felt hot or sweaty while running in these. I have never got a blister or even a hint of a hotspot. Conversely, the first time I tried a synthetic sock the other day, I got a blister 3 miles out. (Only reason I tried synthetic is because I thought it might be cooler than wool during the summer. I was so wrong.)

I cannot forsee myself ever buying any other running sock. I love these.

Comments about SmartWool PHD Running Ultra Light Micro Socks - Women's:

These are just really excellent low-profile socks that are thin enough to wear with my barefoot shoes and take the chill off my feet when I just wear them around the house. I run in them now and then and have not experienced any sock-related discomfort or blistering. I strongly recommend them, especially with barefoot shoes.

Comments about SmartWool PHD Running Ultra Light Micro Socks - Women's:

These socks are awful in terms of giving blisters. I wore them twice on long runs (~20 miles and ~13 miles) and got awful blisters. Other socks were not giving me these problems. I would NOT recommend these socks for long runs! Beware of blister issues.

I like these for how thin and super comfy they are. They stay in place very well but tend to develop holes on the toes and heels after a few uses.

Comments about SmartWool PHD Running Ultra Light Micro Socks - Women's:

I was excited to find that SmartWool made running socks after I fell in love with their hiking socks. They felt great right out of the package, but when I wore them to run, my feet got hotspots and were soaked when I was through. I will just use my plain cotton socks when running from here on out.

Comments about SmartWool PHD Running Ultra Light Micro Socks - Women's:

I received a pair of these socks a month ago & have now bought three more pairs. They're awesome for running and working out. At first I was apprehensive about the wool, but I don't overheat and no blisters to speak of!
