I wasn’t sure about these at first. They fit a little loose for me (size 7.5-8, ordered size small) And I wish they were slightly stretcher. I first wore these socks in a pair of leather Chelsea boots and they made the fit too tight since they have thick padding. But I decided to try them with my Keen hiking boots on a 13 mile hike and they worked great! Since my boots are a little big, the socks kept my feet secure. No blisters and no aggravated areas from my boots rubbing thanks to the extra padding. And my feet stayed dry from sweating. You definitely need to have the right pair of boots though, because these are pretty thick.
I wore these socks over and over hiking in the Italian Dolomites. They were cozy, comfortable, never slipped or shifted, and did not smell at all even after numerous wearings. Incredible! Smartwool socks are as good as you've heard and worth the extra cost.
Very comfortable. Just what i need. When walking my feet sometimes get a little wet and these have kept them warm. I also love all the colors and design. I have purchased other smart wool socks and they wear well also.
I love these socks! I am very hard on shoes and socks. These have held up when other socks can’t. I have several pairs that are over a year old and still look new. I walk and or hike daily and have never worn better socks.
With temps cooling in the PNW, these ankle socks from Smartwool are perfect for Fall and Winter hikes. I especially like the thicker soles that give my feet extra cushioning.
I have been wearing Smartwool socks for years, and they never disappoint. When speaking of them, I say, “not all socks are created equal” - smartwool are great socks.
Have done three hikes with these socks. They are great! Love that they come up to just above my keens, perfect amount of cushioning and great colors!
Great socks! Comfortable even in warm climate. They last forever. I have never had to replace any that I have purchased for the last 15 years.
Good quality socks. Fits as described. Would certainly purchase again. Always pick up when on sale.
My wife loves these socks. All day comfort while hiking with no blisters, what's not to love!
