There is no cushion and I’ve never worn those before. Quality seems good though.
Nice socks as you’d expect from smartwool. Super soft and comfy with minimal bulk or padding and plenty of stretch. I have many pairs of these and am pleased. They wash-up well and I haven’t noticed any shrinking. They seem to wear very well, albeit I only wear them with stiff souled cycling shoes. I buy a size large sock and wear a U.S. 9.5 or 43Euro in standard width shoe. I tend to find them a touch too long but not really an issue.
Fit well, feel good. They come up just above the height of the shoe at the ankle - so perfect!
So not only are these socks super comfortable, but the word “bike” is literally stitched into the front, inside of the sock. This may have been the detail that pushed me over the top on this review, because I don’t have to worry about confusing them with my smart wool hiking socks which look basically the same but are padded differently. It’s the little details that make these *sigh* the perfect fit…
I like the look and comfort of these socks. I’d like more colors.
My feet run hot and I have been searching for socks that are well made and breathable. These have been fantastic so far. They look great, aren't super thick or padded, and I haven't had any issues in my feet getting too warm. I bought 4 pair and couldn't be happier (unless they were cheaper, lol).
I always recommend these for any type of outdoor activities.
The “zero cushion” socks still have thick, cushiony toes. And the “black” colorway is mostly gray. This is neither thin and “cool in hot weather” nor black. So what’s up, what are we doing here, Smartwool Corporation? On the other hand, the material and the knitting is excellent.
These socks are an excellent find, wear and purchase! They keep my feet cool in the summer and warm in the winter. I bought some under armor socks similar to this an my feet got too hot so I went back to smart wool and you can’t go wrong! Excellent socks and the wear is remarkable as I have had pair lasting 2yrs or more with only minimal wear and color remains crisp.
I bought a pair in store and liked them so much I ordered 3 more pair. Perfect cycling socks for me. I have 4 screws in one ankle and every sock I’ve tried before these either cut off my not wonderful ankle circulation or were not high enough for my cycling shoes, or both! These are worth more than 5-stars for me!
