Smartwool  Performance Hike Light Cushion Ankle Socks - Men's

I have been a long time fan of Smartwool. I got these as cold weather (well, cold for SoCal) cycling. The are perfect. They fit my giant size 16 feet very comfortably. The unexpected bonus was instead of the annoying plastic tab that holds the socks to the cardboard hanger, Smartwool used an elastic band. Yay! No single-use plastic. Now I have great socks and an attractive "friendship" bracelet to wear on my rides.

I can't believe it took me this long to try wool socks for summer use! I normally just wore typical sport socks. That led to the typical issues that go along with cotton/blend sport socks, damp feet and smelly shoes. I avoided wool socks in warmer months because it's counterintuitive that if I want cooler, drier feet that I'd use a "winter" material. I was wrong! My breathable hiking shoes, boots, and everyday tennis shoes wick out the moisture. The result is that my feet better, are drier, and smell better. Likewise for my shoes/boots. I'd say my feet do _feel_ a degree or two warmer, but it's not uncomfortable at all. Just like the funny people in Arizona say... "It's a dry heat".

Would have loved to give this product 5/5 but the pair I received when I opened my package has a small hole in the stitching of the sock where my pinky toe is. I've never had any issue at all with my other Smartwool products so I suspect that this is just my bad luck and it must have torn during transit or some freak accident. Other than the small hole, the socks themselves are quite comfortable, warm and fit nicely and look great! I did a small hike and worn them throughout the course of a day and to my surprise, the hole didn't get bigger even after running them through the washer and dryer. I would definitely buy another pair (one without a hole in it). #SmartwoolLove

These are the best socks I've ever owned. They fit perfectly and are extremely comfortable, I am a big fan of how soft and thin they are. The design is great, the perfect height for warmer weather. Where they really make their money is in how they help my feet keep a comfortable temperature. My feet run hot, so socks that help keep my feet cool in the summer weather is crucial. So far they are holding up great and seem like they have the durability to last. They haven't shriveled up after multiple washes and haven't tuned into balls of woolen fuzz like some other socks I have owned.

Stylish and functional. Wear like iron. Wool is much mote durable than cotton. Can ever be worn as house slippers. Their elasticity survives clothes dryer repeatedly. Glad I discovered Smartwool.

I’ve wasted money trying to find socks that are comfortable and help keep my feet from sweating. These socks are comfortable and do a great job of keeping moisture down, even after being on my feet for 10 hours a day at work. I’m very happy with this purchase and would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for comfortable socks that help keep their feet dry!

I'm on my feet all day in a industrial factory that is always warm. My feet sweating used to be a problem, but my new wool socks take care of them keeping them dry. NICE !!!

comfy. felt a little small, but they seem perfect for my 10.5 foot.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received these socks in the mail a couple of weeks ago. I am constantly surprised at the comfort and support that these socks offer. I have had a lot of hiking socks in my lifetime yet Smartwool remains at the top. Even after many washings, they remain soft and comfortable. I also really like the guarantee process. Some companies say they have lifetime guarantees, but it is almost impossible to wade through all of the red tape. Smartwool makes the process so easy and effortless. I will continue buying products from them for this very reason! #sweepstakes

I used them while on a 160 mile walk on the "Camino Santiago", no blisters, no hotspots, very comfortable.
