These are a full inch shorter than my other Smartwool socks and pressed on my toenails. I got the exact same type as the ones I bought in an REI store (Smartwool size medium, light cushion, women's hiking socks) but ended up giving them to my niece who wears a size 5 shoe.
I purchased these for a male size 10 shoe as when I researched these socks Smartwool said the Large can fit both men or women. Since the color was rather neutral I thought I would try them out since they were on sale. They fit just fine but my only knock is they do not fit as snug as my other Smartwool socks like this. However, I will say the cushioning is exactly what I was hoping for, which I would say is more of a light to medium thickness/cushioning. Overall, these are great socks, they preform well, whisking away moisture, keeping my feet blister free.
These are great comfortable socks that give just enough cushion to keep your feet happy. They're just what you want in a quality sock for hike/walking support. How can you go wrong with wool/comfort/heat/drying control all in one. . . you cannot. The design works as intended and I love these new socks!
I have size L and even a few XL in the other no/low cushion Smartwool socks. I ordered this in a large and it was just too loose and big that I had to return them. Next time I would order a size smaller than usual.
I’ve rated these before. They are my “go too” for everyday. Great fit, comfortable with the right amount of cushion.
I truly love these socks. I’m a nurse, on my feet all day & the cushion in the socks keep me going without foot pain all day! I also wear them on days at home. They have made a big difference for me. Nothing else compares. Thank you for offering these socks. Karen B
Cool and comfy - that's what these socks do to my feet, keep them cool and comfy all day long. The cushion under the toes and heels add the right amount of support, while the wool keeps the temperature just right. Plus, you gotta love the fun colors!!
Great colors, very comfortable, and my feet weren’t drenched by the end of the day! I consider that a big win. Haha I will definitely continue to purchase more!
Great running sock with cushioning where you need it. They work nest for me when it is not too hot otherwise my feet sweat. Love these socks!.
For me the smartwool hiking socks are out of this world. I bought two colors, I love them.
