I love wool blend socks. Usually get Smartwool or Costco-smartwool like socks so I gave these a try. No go for me. I will have to figure out the % of wool to other fibers to determine what is acceptable in the future. These socks don’t stretch; they stick, they pull down over heel and bunch up under my foot, and make my foot very sweaty. Just weird. Have to buy another brand from my favorite store- REI
Advertised as hiking socks but not bulky and can be worn for everyday use, running, and hiking too. All socks are not the same but these seem pretty much the like Smartwool socks I have. Bet they are.
I gave up NADA - I have comfort and style. I’m known at work for my “crazy socks”. I get to keep my reputation while having my feet feel (and smell) AMAZING. No funk in these bad boys - and I’m stylin’. Thanks REI for keeping me within my sock budget and making me feel (and look) good.
They are comfortable, great hiking socks, good fit. I always hike with a pair of liner socks under them, but had enjoyed my first pair such that when I saw these on sale, I decided I needed to buy two more pairs.
Bought these on a 50% sale and can't beat the value for the price. Great socks and I have used them several times already. Even with a wide size 13 foot the socks fit right w a tad bit of room to spare.
These are exceptionally well made with the toes double thickness that makes them very comfortable and protective. Compared to others I have purchased over the years these are superior and a bargain.
Bought these light weight hikers for upcoming trip to Canyonland. Soft, warm and very comfortable. Great value since I picked them up on sale!
The size is a bit smaller than advertised & they feel tight. I was hoping they’d stretch a bit but haven’t after a few wears & washes.
Good socks. I use them for hiking -- comfortable, soft, wear well (so far, after 3 or 4 hikes), good price.
Only worn each pair once, but I really like them. Comfortable and stayed up without feeling overly tight.
