My husband spends most of the day standing on concrete. Even with very nice work boots and insoles, his feet are still tired and sore. He's spent literal decades looking for socks, and then we found these. He LOVES them. Some pairs are four years old, have been worn every week or two for all four years, and still look and feel great. I am on a teacher's salary but when I see these on sale, I buy them. We have some lightweight ones for summer and some medium weight ones for fall and winter. If your know someone who is on their feet a lot (nurse, mechanic, teacher) these are THE socks to give them. I cannot recommend them highly enough. My dad is a farmer and guess what he's been getting for birthdays, Father's Day, Christmas, etc. the last few years? Well, he discovered these socks from my husband and is now filling his own sock drawer with them!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Got these and love them! They stay up nicely, and you can never go wrong with wool socks. They're expensive but worth it. I haven't had them long enough to know how long they'll last but they seem well constructed - similar to the smartwool I usually buy (which last me many years). Wool socks help prevent smells too - so you're warm & not stinky - win win.
As with all the Ice Breaker socks I have purchased the fit and comfort is better than any other brand I have tried. I have only had them a few months we'll see how well they hold up over time. Would be nice to have more color patterns and options. But them you won't be sorry.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] They've kept my feet more dry than any socks I've ever had, and have a great fit compared to other brands. My toes have freedom to spread and the socks stay comfortably where they should.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] IceBreaker socks have become my go to for hiking socks. Their fit, cushion and overall durability has made me a loyal customer. No need to look any further.
These are very well made socks. They have good cushioning and are comfortable. They work well hiking, or just as an everyday sock.
Great socks! A nice medium weight that I used for daily wear in the winter. Have held up great so far.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These amazing socks are a funny/serious Christmas gift for my husband every year. He loves them!!
Kept the sweat at bay. My feet warm outside “10F” and didn’t overheat inside
