Love these socks. Nice every day in the NW socks- which means running errands and hiking in the rain. Were these mens'? I think they're fine for women, too. Nice design.
As always smart wool socks never disappoint.
These socks are amazing. I was looking for something shorter than a crew sock and saw these and decided to try them. I love that they are Smartwool, which I love, have just the right amount of padding, and are colorful and comfortable.
These socks stay cool and dry in summer. They're durable and still look new after multiple washings. Just ordered three more pairs. They're not nearly as snug as the old PHD socks but I still use size XL in these, shoe size 11.5 wide.
Nothing beats the quality and fit of Smartwool socks. This style is perfect for hiking with a nice medium cushion on the bottom and thinner on the top for a nice fit with my hikers.
These socks aren’t too thick like some wool socks can be. Super comfy and cute. I love them.
These short Smartwool hiking socks are absolutely great. I wear them around the house to keep my feet warm on our cold, non-carpeted floors. Wear them to the gym, hiking, etc. Being wool, they keep my sweaty feet warm and comfortable. Much better than itchy Darn Tough socks.
The only reason I am giving a 4 instead of a 5 is that they were marked as unisex and they seemed too wide for me. I would still give them a 4.5 and am keeping them. I love smartwool and it’s hard to find truly lightweight ones and these fit that bill perfectly.
I love Smartwool and their products, and I was delighted to see their ankle socks in a wide variety of styles and colors at my local REI, only to get to the store and find the selection there very low, and nowhere close to what the website had promised.
