While I usually like full padding, this targets the right areas. I live in Wyoming and wear SmartWool socks every day. Nothing else stands up. These are a cool color/pattern and work on days that aren’t quite as cold.
Love and recommend! I wear a size 7 shoe (and rarely a 7.5 boot). I needed the Medium size sock. The Small size sock was too tight and did not go up tall enough on my calf. I compared all of the snowsport socks REI has right now (winter 2023-2024 season) and these have the highest % of wool so I believe they'll be the warmest out of all REI's snow sport socks.
Perfect for skiing. It has cushions in the right spots. It is a little tight for me in the upper section and I hope it will loosen with time.
I wear them to keep my feet warm and comfortable while working outside at our local park during their Holiday season event. I work outside for 3-5 hours while standing on concrete floors and my feet stay warm and don't hurt from standing for that long. Once I return to college, l plan to use them while snowboarding at the local ski slopes and while participating for my school's ski and snowboarding team.
When I was in Paris, I saw women of all ages walking around in dresses and coats wearing patterned wool knee socks with motorcycle boots. As an avowed hater of hose, I immediately loved the look. It's fun, it's warm, and it's comfortable. These socks are perfect for the look -- they stay up, keep my legs warm, and make me smile.
I am a huge fan of Smartwool socks. I purchased four pair this time only because the Smartwools I had were showing wear… after having them for literally 30+ years. I wear them every day in the winter for everyday use and snowshoeing daily. The best quality sock on the market. And they don't shrink like a lot of other brands.
Foot comfort can make or break your ski day. Smartwool ski socks are the smart choice, they are engineered to protect and cushion pressure points while allowing the body to keep those toes toasty. As a bonus, they are extremely durable and good looking. I trust these to keep my granddaughters warm and on the slopes. Grampy
These were a gift for my mom (74). She loves them though she will never wear them for their intended use, at which I'm sure they excel. She gets cold feet so she asked for the warmest and most comfortable pair of knee socks for her to wear around the house, and these are what I came up with. Easy Christmas gifting success.
Womens ski snowpocalype socks are the most comfortable socks I’ve ever worn! They keep my feet warm and dry. After wearing them, I will no longer wear any other type of or brand!! I actually bought 2 pairs so I will always have a back up pair. I’m excited to use these for our upcoming ski trip!
I am happy with the fit and comfort of these socks. My only disappointment with this order was that one item that I ordered two pair of, only had one pair available for shipment. I will hope to get more of that sock when they are back in stock. Keep up the good work! I love Smart Wool!
