Great cushioning in the foot and lighter thickness in the ankle area, but the band at the top to hold up the sock is way too tight. I have slim calves. There is no need for such a tight band at the top of the sock. Most Smartwool sock styles have been going this direction in recent years which has been disappointing. Other than the too-tight top band, they are excellent socks.
Smatwool socks are incredibly comfortable, soft, and cozy without feeling bulky. They look great, with stylish colors and a clean design that works for everyday wear or outdoor use. The fit feels thoughtful and supportive, making them a great-looking, well-designed sock I’d happily wear again.
This sock has a little more cushion than expected but I use them for hiking and they work perfectly! I ordered a large for a size 10 in men’s. You can wear multiple days in between washes. They hold their shape too!
I've been wearing nothing but SmartWool socks for several years now, and have always been satisfied with the quality of the items. This latest purchase has done nothing to change my mind on that.
Great sock for hiking as they have some cushion. Husband is size 10 and the large was perfect! And Smartwool socks never stink! You can wear for days w/o having to wash
Great hiking and all-around socks. Comfortable and true to size. Not as warm give their thickness.
Good fit did not shrink after washing so I give it at 5 star
So nice and warm and comfy. Must get me some more.
