I purchased these socks for with ultra running in mind... I have worn them with my Altra Mont Blanc Boas for trail runs exceeding 50 kilometers and they have been great. They have proven durable and well-fitting, and they helped me not get any hot-spots. Oh, and they are great for "everyday street use" as well. :)
I have tried many types of socks, but always come back to Smartwool with their great blend of merino wool. These socks can be worn year round, they keep your feet warm in winter and cool in summer, there’s a style and cushion available for every activity, these socks are very durable and long lasting!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My whole life Ive bought the 10 pack of socks, worn through them, and then rinse and repeat. I decided to treat myself with these and now I see what all the fuss is about. Truely a game changer and cant see myself ever wearing cheapo socks again. Highly recommended.
I love these socks, smartwool makes the best blend of breathability to durability that I’ve found. I wear these socks year round and they keep me warm in the winter and cool in the summer without wearing out!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Well made socks. Look good, best of all they are very comfortable. I love wool, it has kept me blister free for years and that is miles of hiking and walking. Highly recommended.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Iv'e heard of Smartwool for years and always heard great things. It was hard to justify paying so much but trust me. It's totally worth it. #Sweepstakes
Purchased these socks for a trip to Alaska. Worked out great! Great fit; kept feet cool and dry; quick drying after frequent washes.
Nice, comfortable socks. Just the right amount of cushion. Not too thick or thin. My new favorites; wish I had bought more.
well made, colorful socks. Esp. like the available sizes instead of the standard one-size fits all.
Very comfortable. Runs true to size. Have not had them long enough to comment on durability.
