Smartwool  Everyday No-Show Socks

I bought these in both a medium and a large because I remember the medium being a bit tight. Indeed, the medium squeezes my toes like nobody’s business! I am a women’s size 8, so on the low end of the suggest size M range. The large, on the other hand, fit like a dream – my toes can actually wiggle and breathe. Ahhhh… And yet they still feel well-fitted – I don’t think these are going to slip off anytime soon. The grip on the inner heel is excellent! But mostly, they’re just a really well designed fit – once you get the size that will fit. Definitely size up!

I like these socks, except for the fact that they run way too small. Unless the design changed since I got them, I recommend getting one size up, e.g. buy L if your size is M, XL if your size is L etc. I used them less than a week, mostly indoors without shoes and got a hole under my big toe (granted, my big toe sticks out from the rest of the toes quite a bit, maybe that contributed). After the hole, I ended up buying one size up of the 'sibling' of these socks that have more cushioning just to get extra material so they would hold up. The new socks felt snug on my feet despite being size XL while my actual size is a smaller L.

Huge holes after just a month of wearing. I Love smart wool but this is disappointing.

I was really excited to replace some cheap, worn-out socks with Smartwool - and two out of the five pairs I ordered are great. I wear a size 9 shoe and have a drawer full of size medium Smartwool socks that fit perfectly, so I ordered all in my usual size. Unfortunately, three pairs are uncomfortably short and tight, making them impossible to wear. I was hoping to exchange those three for a size Large, but it looks like my only option is to return and repurchase - pretty bummed that I’m now going to have to pay shipping for socks that should have fit right the first time.

I have a few of the older versions of these socks, which were nice but were a bit more "no-show". They worked fine in the beginning but after consistent use while running, they started slipping off my heels. I got more, not realizing that they had updated them and they are a game changer. They are still no-show, which is my preferred cut but come up higher on the sides and top. The fabric is comfortable. It is fitted without being constricting. And best of all, they don't slip off my heels during activities like running or hiking. I got 3 pairs and am definitely going to get some more.

First the pros: this is a thin wool sock that fits just right for a concealed look. Since it’s a natural wool-blend fiber, the amount of sweating is at a minimum. Since buying my first smartwool socks - i have converted to almost entirely wool and cotton socks in my wardrobe. Natural fibers really do decrease sweat and odor. The cons: I did not take any precautions when washing this sock for the first time…. and it came out of the dryer half the size it went in. I am hoping to stretch it out. This is my own fault for not being careful. But at the same time- i don’t see the average user giving special treatment to a single pair of socks.

I wore one pair of socks in Las Vegas for three days. At the end of the three days there was no odor.

The best sock hack ever! I use these socks to cover the insoles of my shoes. I like the barefoot look but don't like my insoles to get gross and sweaty. I finally realized I can use these to cover up the insoles (opening facing the bottom of the shoe) and my insoles stay clean and the socks are easy on, easy off and easily changable. Honestly, I found the socks uncomfortable to wear as as a sock because the seam at the top of the sock would rub on my feet causing a painful dent or chafing. This was the perfect solution. I use these in my slippers that I wear all the time since I work from home. Because of the wool, no foot odor! I love these socks!!!

Unfortunately these don't stay on and get pulled off in the shoe. This is the first Smartwool product I've been unhappy with, so hopefully they will change the design in the future.

I packed these socks along with a bunch of others for a recent 2 week Italian vacation with lots of walking. I quickly figured out that these were the only ones for my trip. They are super comfortable and no slip! I ended up having to wash them in the sink each night of my vacation so that they were ready for wear the next day. I will be replacing all of my old socks with these.
