Comments about SmartWool Secret Sleuth Socks - Women's:
I was looking for very low socks to wear during the summer when I wanted the look of wearing no socks at all so I was pretty excited when I found these socks. Unfortunately, they slip down into my shoes rendering them fairly useless as socks.

Love these socks! They're so much more comfortable than the cheapie nylon socks I've been wearing until now. These socks are the perfect thickness and my feet never get overheated, even in the Tucson heat. But there's enough fabric to provide some comfortable padding in the shoe. Unlike some other reviewers I've never had a problem with these slipping down into my shoe; they stay put all day. They're definitely worth a try. Just wish REI would carry some of the other colors these socks are made in.

Comments about SmartWool Secret Sleuth Socks - Women's:
Great little socks to go with Mary Jane type shoes! Not had problems yet with elastic though if I wear them all day, the sock will eventually slide off my heel in my shoe. Not a big deal to me since I generally don't wear them for long periods of time.

Comments about SmartWool Secret Sleuth Socks - Women's:
I purchased two pairs (one black and one beige) to wear with my new Maryjane-type shoes. I did have a problem with the black pair when I wore them with my Keens, which have a stiff sole and don't easily bend as I walk. I used some hosiery adhesive on my heel, and then they worked fine. I had no problem with the beige pair with my Propet shoes, which have a more flexible sole. Both pair worked fine after that small revision. I'm back to buy more!

Looks like from previous reviews that women either loved these or hated them! Well, I am online to buy more, so it's obvious that I'm in the "LOVE THEM" camp. I've tried other nylon-type socks like these that were poorly fitted, never stayed in place, and weren't wicking. These are the perfect thickness so that they provide cushioning but are thin enough. They wick, they breathe, they keep my shoes from getting smelly!! I have found that they have held up extremely well after multiple wearings and washings, just like all my Smartwool sox. So I would definitely recommend trying these!

Comments about SmartWool Secret Sleuth Socks - Women's:
I was so excited to find these Smartwool socks, it was the perfect solution for several of my shoes. But after one wear they started to loose the elasticity so I went back to the REI store to exchange for another pair. Well, same thing happened, [...]

Comments about SmartWool Secret Sleuth Socks - Women's:
I have slipper-type shoes, and thought this would be wonderful to keep my feet warmer when wearing these types of shoes. I bought this pair from REI as they were on sale, and I love the Smart Wool brand.
I bought size for 5-9.5, and the fit is VERY BIG. The sock falls down my ankle into my shoe when I walk. I walk around a lot-so this is not a productive product for me. If I went down a size, it would be awesome.
I will keep for around the house.
Service and delivery comments:

Best "half sock" I've found. Excellent little sock. Mine have worn very well, only problem - first pair a little big so I just wear those around the house like a slipper. Medium worked better with shoes. Enjoy!

Comments about SmartWool Secret Sleuth Socks - Women's:
I really liked these socks because of their thickness (more like a normal sock vs. panty hose like a lot of other socks of this style). However, the seams at the heel form "corners" on either side of the heel. They weren't uncomfortable, but they looked funny on my feet. Also, the elastic in the heel has completely worn out after about a half a dozen wears, so they slip off and I am constantly re-adjusting throughout the day. I would consider trying another pair, but was overall pretty disappointed.

Comments about SmartWool Secret Sleuth Socks - Women's:
I bought the size recommended for my shoe size M 7-9. I found they slipped down right away. it is very annoying.
They are great while in place and look very good. But do buy them in a smaller size if you are not on the large end of the scale for that size.
