I have purchased and relied on SmartWool socks for my exclusive daily footwear and hiking needs for more than 15 years. Always reliable; always high performance with long life! Except for now (why now?). I purchased 12 pair of SmartWool Hiker socks in black several weeks ago and am now a very unhappy camper. I have washed the entire lot at least 5 times with heavy detergent and they still leave dark purple dye stains all over the in-shoe portion of my feet that is difficult to scrub off. I have no words describing my level of dissatisfaction. The title is the best I can do for now.
I have many Smart wool products and usually love them, but these socks got a hole in the toe after 1 use.
The sock is a little thick and if your shoes are tight fit you have to take that into consideration. Overall it is warm and has a solid feel. What I mean by that is the socks do not stretch easily thus maintaining their forms well.
I bought these for everyday use, not just for hiking. They fit snug without being too tight, have an appropriate amount of cushion, and the black color can work for almost any dress situation.
I usually purchase size large on smart wool socks. I have a dozen of various ones. For these I purchased large. They’re really XX large and shapeless. I had purchased an earlier large version that had fit well. Don’t buy these. Or buy a size or 2 smaller than usual.
This is a good quality light cushion sock that I wear to work. They are cool in the summer and warm in the winter. They breathe well.
Very comfortable. Wear them for work. Great cushioning
A great product and very comfortable on my feet.
