Comfort make your hike be relax
I love the colorful patterns on Smartwool socks and the extra padding on heels and toes. These socks hit a little higher than a ankle sock, which I think are too low for boots. I've had a problem with some Smartwool socks in the past wearing thin on toe area. I'm hoping that this doesn't happen to these.
My first hiking experience didn't go as expected and I ended up with wet socks the ENTIRE trip. I purchased two pairs of hiking socks...these and Darn Tough brand. They both help up flawlessly. I had no blisters after two days and 10 miles of hiking in soaking wet socks. I am shocked and would highly recommend. They are extremely comfortable and have cushion in al the right places. Just buy these. You wont regret it.
I currently have multiple pairs of this sock and they're hands down the best socks I've ever owned. They're great for any outdoor activity: hiking, running, etc. because they keep your feet super warm without all the bulk that other wool socks have. They're super soft, and I can use them for multiple days before they smell or need to be washed.
My wife finally found the the right socks for her feet. She had a lot of discomfort specifically on her toe area due to standing and walking 12 hours while at work. These socks solve the problem.
I wear these year-round. I hike every weekend, and they’ve held up great after a year of such regular use. I love that they don’t really stink after a full day of wear. Definitely recommend!
I’m a size 9Wide with high arches, high insteps & wide at the toe box, so I need to get a Large in these socks instead of the suggested Medium. They are wonderful!
I can't get over the height of these socks. They're perfect for cold-weather running to make sure your ankles are protected from the cold, and perfect for above-ankle hiking boots or Blundstones when you don't want a bunch of sock showing. I did a casual run and hiked in these so far, and they feel great doing both activities. I'm a size 9 women's shoe, bought a medium sock.
My feet nearly never get sweaty and they sweat so much in these socks. I like them, don't love them. They are comfortable.
I love these socks for backpacking, hiking, skiing, and trail running. I'll usually bring out two pairs when I'm backpacking (my day pair and my night pair). They don't tend to stretch out, they dry pretty quickly, they don't irritate my skin, and they have a good snug fit to avoid any excess rubbing. 10/10 love these!
