Awesome Socks
Fabio4 years ago
These Socks are awesome. It keeps my feet warm and comfortable. It helps me sleep too. I am a disabled veteran and have nerve damage on both my legs. Sometimes my foot gets very painful and cold. The socks help me and it is a blessing to have these socks.
Aloha,

Comfy socks but….
tacocosby3 years ago
Super comfy with great padding but after one proper wash (inside out, cold water, dried flat) one sock is waaaay shorter than the other. I have a couple of other pair that I’ve yet to wear so maybe this will happen again and I’ll be able to match the short and the long socks together? :)

Weird toe seam
1 year ago
These socks seem well made, warm, and mostly comfortable, but the fit is weird in regards to the toe seam. I've never had a pair of socks with a seam like this, as the seam is wider than most socks and it sits right on top of the front edge of my large toenails, whereas other socks the seam is usually 1-2 inches back. This drives me nuts so unfortunately I'm going to return these and try something different.

Really loose fit and immediate pilling
2 years ago
I was kind of excited about these but then I got them. I wear a size 11.5/12 shoe and ordered the large and the fit is ridiculously loose. Every time I take my boot off they want to come sliding off. They’re also pilling already after one week (which isn’t a huge deal but kind of annoying)

Loose Threads and Cheap Sewing
3 years ago
As you can see from the comparison pictures below between SmartWool and a competing brand, SmatWool makes cheaper quality socks than it used to. You can see internally all the loose threads and externally all the mismatched, frayed sewing. Also, SmartWool's sock is only about 75% merino wool, whereas competitors make the other one pictured out of 80% merino wool for the same price.

NOT 74% WOOL

With the 5% drop in the wool content, they now constantly slide off your feet. Please update the description to show the revised wool content. Last time I buy.

Quality has degraded
8 months ago
I had a pair of these socks for 5 years and they were super comfortable and wore like iron. My favorite socks. I bought a new pair and they are much thinner and lighter weight. One had a hole in it near the top. Very disappointed in the quality.

Best Socks!
2 years ago
GREAT socks! These type have lasted me for years and I'm just buying a new pair so I will have 3 pair. They don't get stinky. They go through sweat, cold, damp, and still keep my feet comfy and happy. I wear these bulky ones over a wool blend sock liner in winter, and a less bulky type in warm weather.
