Comfy all-purpose socks

I've also been wearing these pretty much non-stop for the past month! They're perfect with trail runners or sneakers, I can even wear them with my Blundstone boots and Muck Boots - I always wore crew height socks with my Blundstones, but these socks have enough cushion on the back to be comfortable even in different boots. They're definitely my new go-to socks. These are also the only no-show style socks I've worn that actually stay in place. I usually wear taller socks because I cannot stand when they slide down, but I don't have to worry about any Smartwool socks slipping on me, they stay in place really well. #SmartwoolLove

Great socks!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I never thought a pair of socks could make such a difference, but Smartwool socks have been a total game changer! They’re incredibly comfortable, even on the hottest summer days. My feet stay cooler and drier, and they do an amazing job of preventing odor from developing—even after hours of walking. The merino wool is soft, breathable, and doesn’t feel itchy at all. I was skeptical at first, but now I completely understand why so many people rave about them. Once you try Smartwool socks, it’s hard to want to wear anything else. They’ve become my go-to socks, and I keep adding more pairs to my collection. Highly recommend!

Run small

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.

Fantastic Socks

Fantastic sock, not my first purchase of smart wool socks, but first time I’ve bought directly from the site. Definitely worth the money, I’ve had a few pairs for 8+ years and they remain favorites! Love the color options also. I hike occasionally, but use these for work days even, I’m an RN in a hospital setting and these help keep my feet comfy and dry!

Great Unisex Size

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.

More perfect than your average perfect!

I'm 70+ and have had multiple foot surgeries- socks are my bottom line to wearing regular shoes beyond a 'boot' or surgical shoe. I have tried every brand and material. My goal is to…that the sock maintains its size and thickness… as well has not causing my feet to sweat and swell. My youth provided experience with wool living in Michigan- brrrr. My mother would have a fit when I tossed everything in the laundry basket and the wool items came out of the dryer in Barbie Doll size. Great time to be alive now that smart wool exists.

LOVE these socks!

I've been wearing Smartwool socks for many years, so it's difficult to wow me with an even better design, but these socks have done it. They fit and are comfortable because they have ample cushion underneath without any added heat or ""bulk"" on the sides or tops of your feet. I also like that the ankle band is snug enough to keep debris out, keep your socks from migrating into your shoes, but also isn't so tight that it causes ankle swelling above the band. . . . A problem I've developed due to injury and aging.

Too big!

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.

Favorite socks!

I wear these socks all the time since discovering them years ago. They are the best in every way! I especially love the low profile without slippage. The thickness is great, yet they're never too hot. I wear them all year and I live in the South. They are not too heavy even in the summer with the heat and humidity. The weight is perfect! The design is unique and the colors are fantastic. These are my favorite socks and have been for years! Give them a try! You will be happy you did.

10/10 would reccomend for anyone

10/10 would recommend for anyone. These socks are practical for everyday use, the back of ankle upper lip provide for no chafing when wearing every day sneakers or running shoes. These socks do not slip down making them very practical for any outdoor activity or sport. for example, walking, jogging, hiking, or even circuit training. The socks have well distributed cushioning along side the ball of the foot to the top of the toes and the around the ankle. #SmartwoolLove
