NEW FAVORITE SOCKS OMG

3 years ago

These socks are AMAZING. I bought them for use in hiking, but they're thick. Like thicc. They're more like the fuzzy 'winter' socks (you know, the ones you get from non-sports outfitters which are comfy but not wool and not very breathable but are great for lounging on x-mas morning in the house and pjs)! So yes, these are more like those socks rather than your typical ski or hiking sock. Very soft, very cozy, does not have a super tight band to hold them up. They are arguably a little thick for hiking (they fit a little snug in my boots which vs. other hiking socks), but I will give them a go in an upcoming weekend. Hiking or not, I will be slowly but surely replacing all my cozy winter socks with more pairs of these. Only downside - wish they came in more colors.

Would not buy this again

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The socks had several areas where the stitching was poor. Had to go through the effort to return them. Sent them back. Still awaiting refund.

USED to be my favorite sock; something has changed in the de

1 year ago

I have usually purchased 6-7 pairs of the old Trekking style socks every year to train for and participate in a 72 mile veterans fundraiser hike in the Laurel Highlands. Recently, they were no longer available at stores. When I inquired about a replacement type, I was informed that therre wasn't a replacement. Now 6 months later, I find the Hike Extra Cushion 'Classic' version in stores which is purported to be the same as the old Trekking. They are not the same. First, the Trekking ones were thicker and lost their padding after a long period of time. These new ones are less padded and lose their padding quicker. Second, the Trekking ones stayed put where these new Hike ones are more slippery and allow the foot to slide around in the boot and bunch up. Third, the Trekking were always a consistent wool content. The new Hike version is not, at least from what is advertised or listed on the tags. The latest pair of Hike I bought lists 71% wool and 28% nylon(virgin and recycled combined). The Smartwool website lists them as having 56% wool and a whopping 42% nylon combined. There seems to be inconsistent changes being made in the production of this replacement. Finally, the website lists the Hike version as having the knitted in arch support I am accustomed to in the old Trekking version. Yet the latest pair of Hike I bought does not have this arch support. Again, this is inconsistency. I will now need to slowly evaluate other brands such as Darn Tough. I believe these decisions are being made (use of nylon and recycled nylon) for perception reasons and not for the ongoing quality of the product. Product quality should not suffer due to the inclusion of recycled content or else the carbon footprint is incresed, not decreased.

Short crew top.

1 year ago

These are not as thick as before but OK. The biggest problem is that they have such a short crew length top. When I buy the extra large size they do fit my size 14 foot but the crew top barely is above my work boot. When I order an extra large sock I would expect that every part of the sock would be extra large for the tall man.

Best of both worlds.

Comfortable and functional. Just make sure your shoes are sized to fit such thick socks.

Great Smart Wool socks

3 years ago

These are very comfortable socks and fit well. I found a pair that was rated for the size I normally wear, which is 9.5-10. It’s cold outside and they are the best of 6 pair of smart wool that I currently own.

YES, Most Awesome Socks ever!

5 years ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been purchasing and using these socks extensively for the past 5 plus years and they hold up very well. I work outdoors in the heat, the cold and get wet feet etc and these socks keep the feet and toes dry and warm and never sweat. They hold up as well to being my walk around the house with no shoes on in place of footwear. They are so tough that they don't wear to the point of getting holes in the bottoms of the heal and toe areas of the socks. They are just plain simply the best socks I have ever purchased and will continue doing so until and if they ever let me down. So far so good, Keep it up Smartwool!

Thickest softest socks

3 years ago

These are both the thickest and softest socks that I own. Great for hiking our just treating my feet to comfort. They do make tight boots or shoes much tighter than other socks but would be great if your favorite boots are a 1/4 size too big

Comfortable classic fit

2 years ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received my pair of socks through the Smartwool insider program and I have been extremely pleased with them! They are extremely comfortable to wear, and I found the extra cushion welcome during my 8 hour retail shift. I would say they fit true to size, I usually wear a size 8 shoe and the medium fits well. These socks do stretch out, by the second day i found they were fitting looser than before. they do affect the fit of your footwear and if recommend trying on boots with these socks as they definitely affect the fit of your footwear. I used these socks mainly in my daily life and I plan to use them during the winter in my boots to keep my feet toasty warm. Dispute their warmth my feet never felt sweaty or damp, the socks kept moisture away from my feet. Overall I am very pleased with the socks and will continue to get lots of life out of them.#SmartwoolLove
