Read More I went looking for these socks after my husband reported that they were the only ones in his sock drawer that made his feet feel better. Additionally, the original pair of socks are 3 years old and still look and feel like new! Great socks and totally worth the money! -

Read More Because I'm retired I wear these socks every day abandoning the traditional office slack/sock combinations. I have the beige and the blue/grey colors that match all my casual wear combinations. I don't wear these socks on less casual occasions that call for a more traditional style. They're great. -

Read More I've wore nothing but the Thorlo Coolmax Light Hiker for the past 6-7 years while working in Alaska. The two most impressive things are the wicking ability, and the overall lack of blisters encountered while wearing this sock. Even in my Simms Wading Pants, which has a neoprene stockingfoot, the sock is seldom even damp at the end of a long day, even when climbing 1,000' slopes. It isn't the sock for cold temps below 20º, and they will wear out over a couple of years, but you will be hard pressed do do better for a basic, great fitting sock for moderate weather and very physical activity! -

Read More History: I'm Activity Duty Army going on 14 years with several deployments under my belt and miles and miles logged on the feet: and perhaps the worst part of the issued gear are the boots and socks. However over the years things have gotten better especially with the boots now that the military has authorized various styles made by varied civilian companies. Currently my favorites are the OTB's designed by New Balance, and Danner's TFX Summer Boots. The "military type" socks sold are still for me worthless for numerous reasons. Several years ago I sought to find a worthy sock that was made in a semi-military color (black's, tan's, browns, greens etc) and came across this sock although it was woven with some white threads I figured they are in my boots and under my pant legs. I was also an avid Boy Scouter (got my Eagle) and in my slim free time i try to do a little civilian backpacking/camping so have a fairly good base knowledge on the subject of sort. Anyway the sock: I have put multiple pairs of which i still own through, by the nature of my job and such, extreme conditions such as 130-140 degree desert heat for 18-20hrs a day; completely soaked trudging through creeks and rivers in Fort Bragg North Carolina; and even a 32-mile civilian 3-day backpacking trip on the Tahoe-Rim Trail around Lake Tahoe Nevada, all again having logged hundreds of miles mostly in/on military type boots. Theses socks are very durable and the fabrics and materials hold up strong, with very minimal fading; barely frays even after years of wearing and washing, retains its elasticity/shape, doesn't stretch out after a while like some socks tend to do. One caveat to fraying: I had one or two pairs that the top of the toes frayed pretty bad, but I think it was mostly because of the inside of my boots and the way they were rubbing or something snagged them once. In all my years of the military I have had the least amount of blisters in these socks (like only a couple on my heals resultant of water logged feet/boots and terrain which caused some rubbing). Sometimes blisters are just gonna happen no matter what, but I don't fault the socks. Additionally these socks have a good amount of padding/cushioning in all the right places especially in the boot lacing area, helping to reduce pressure points often caused with too thin of a sock; and I found them to be moderately warm in cool temperatures of down to about 40 and even 30 degrees (unless you are standing still for several hours). I own about 20 pairs now as i spend 75% or more of my time in uniform and boots, and these are the only socks I buy and wear in my duty uniform. Can't say these will be the bread winner for everyone, as we all have different feet with different needs, but they are for me and well worth their price. -

Read More These socks are wonderful. I wore them while hiking in Belize, and they wicked moisture well and were very breatheable. I wore them on a cold day here in Ohio and they were warm and comfy. Sometimes I wear them around the house. They're really supportive, too. I have zero complaints. I bought five or six pairs because I love them so much.

Read More I already have two pairs of these socks and wanted a drawer full so I would always have fresh socks to wear hiking. Over the years I have used all sorts of different socks to wear hiking some with liners and some without. I bought a new pair of hiking boots over a year ago and was wearing flip flops that day so the sales person recommended the Thorlo Light Hiker socks. I wear them without liners in my Vasque hiking boots and my Merrell hiking shoes. They wick away moisture and my feet stay comfortable on all day hikes. I only needed one pair, but, getting a 10% discount for buying three allowed me to get two pairs to give as a gift.
