the best socks. I am a new hiker and this brand was suggested to me. They are the perfect blend for comfort...not too thick and not too thin. I wore in moderate weather and they were perfect!! Good buy :)
Very comfortable and soft and warm !I believe that they are going to be great !
I love these socks! Enough cushion for all day errands, a run, and plenty of support to hold you and your hectic life together. I was a little hesitant to purchase due to the allover ribbing and design across the top of the foot, but when I put the socks on... it was that immediate Smartwool foot hug of comfort and relief. I love the color combination. Keep it fresh Smartwool!
My stepmother raved about these socks - they were one of the handful of items she requested for Christmas. She and my father spend a few weeks every year hiking, anywhere from Florida to California. These socks are her staple for protecting her feet on every adventure! Unfortunately, I ordered the wrong size, but she is sending them in for an exchange.
I have a couple of pairs of this style for myself AND I gave a few friends these socks as well. These socks are so incredibly comfy, have a fun design and are wearable for all sorts of different occasions. SmartWool is the best and this is another top notch product from them!
Bought two pair because they’re “Smartwool” loved the colors and they were a great price. Not once did I have to adjust them. Never thought about my socks while on any of my excursions in Yosemite. Thank you! I love my socks.
I use these as some of my boot socks.. they have just the perfect amount of padding! Not too thick and not too thin. I plan on using them hiking as well as just for everyday wear!
I bought these socks over two (2) years ago. They still fit like they are brand new. The color hasn't faded after many washings. They stay in place so no slack in the material.
These are my new favorite hiking socks! They are durable, fit my feet like a glove and keep them dry and blister-free. I plan to buy more of these in the future.
I love my Smartwool socks Perfect for sports and walks The patterns are neat Feel great on my feet So I keep a lot in stock.
