I have always loved Smartwool socks and I have never had a sizing issue before but these just do not fit correctly. I wear a size 7.5 shoe which the size chart says is a medium. if I putt them tight at the toes, I end up with at least an inch of heel hanging loose. If I don't pull them tight, they bunch up under the sole of my foot. I cannot wear these hiking socks in my hiking boots at all. Not sure where the discrepancy is but I'm going to have to return them.
The REI rep recommended these for hiking and they have won me over to wool socks! They're more comfortable than cotton and keep their shape even when worn multiple times between washings on a trip.
They were a Hiking game changer. My feet were so much more comfortable in my hiking boots then with the socks I was wearing. I couldn’t believe that they made such a difference! Buy them!
These socks have wonderful cushion, great if you are on your feet all day!
Fit a bit bigger than other smartwool medium size socks, but nice.
I bought two pairs in my usual size Medium. One pair had a hole at the toe box seam. When I tried on the other pair, the toe box was so wide and bulky that my feet did not fit into my shoes. Returned both.
I wore these socks on two separate hikes (4.6 mi and 2.2 mi) months apart and got a blister both times. Never blistered from socks before. Returned.
Thick enough to give support and comfort. Work well for my urban hiking walks.
I got multiple pairs. They are well worth the price and fit great.
Always loved Smart Wool Socks like forever - good quality socks
