[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have no issue with fit! I read the other reviews and noticed several saying the fit was too small. The fit for me is perfect and I have a larger ankle than most women with a size 7 foot and still had no issue with fit. Very comfortable, perfect amount of cushion and the print is super cool. I wore this sock over tights without issue. I've been able to hike 15 miles and wear them to work multiple days and no issues at all. The sock definitely holds up to my abuse. This sock like all Smartwool hiking socks are warm and keep your feet happy. #smartwoollove
I received these socks about a week or two ago, and love the print! For me the sizing fits perfectly. Unlike other reviewers, I did not find the opening to be too snug. I appreciate the fact that it is snug enough to not slip down when I'm walking. I wore these to Florida over the Thanksgiving holiday and they kept my feet dry and comfortable! Not too hot or cold. I wore them with high top leather sneakers (see photo) and with boots. I'm curious to see how they will wear over time as they are lighter cushioned. So far, they are great!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are a great everyday sock. I've used these for casually running around and when I've been on my feet all day. Adds a lot of comfort and keeps my toes warm with not much bulk which is really nice for someone with wide feet. The pattern is really cute peeking out over the tops of boots too! #Smartwoollove
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These socks are amazing for everything hiking, running lounging, everything! They are comfortable, durable and stay put when wearing. Print doesn't distort when wearing, they are exactly as pictured. #SmartwoolLove
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This sock is a great weight for hiking, a day around town or relaxing in front of the fire. Wore them on a cold, windy day with my tennis shoes and they kept my feet warm and comfortable. #smartwoollove
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] What a cute outdoorsy graphic! Fit is great, and height and cushion are perfect for boot wear (I love the cozy feel of thicker socks, but they are always too tight for boots). I really love how Smartwool keeps coming out with fun prints and graphics that are different! I don't always love every single one, but I usually love at least a few of them-so it's a nice excuse to keep adding to my Smartwool collection ;) #SmartwoolLove
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the adorable design! Smartwool continues to please with high quality products! These socks have just the right amount of cushioning - nice and luxurious but not too much which can make footwear feel too snug, After washing they feel just as soft and fit the same as when brand new. They breathe wonderfully too! #SmartwoolLove
I have worn SmartWool for decades. The only warm socks I ever wear for winter. Now, at 60, the leg openings are all the same size, too small. I ordered a size up (L) in hopes of getting larger opening. No dice, only longer foot. Can't even roll down to ankle, still too tight. Sorry to have to leave your product. I will miss you.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The all print crew socks were a gift and recipient likes them very much. The mountain pattern socks were also a gift. Thee recipient said they were too large. I ordered the same size, medium, for her. So Smart wool made an error. She gave that pair away. Not so pleased with that mistake.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are cute but not quite as comfortable as I had hoped. The elastic band around the top is not as flexible as other socks I have bought from Smartwool. I found that I need to scrunch these down ankle style to work. I'm keeping them primarily because they are, well, cute.
