I usually love Smartwool products but these socks had holes after my very first hike. This was not a particularly rigorous hike either (1.5 miles). I suppose if you just want warm socks to wear around your house then these are perfect, but I would not recommend them for anything other than light use.
So happy I bought these, easily became my favorite pair of smartwool socks I own
My go to socks forever and always. Don’t leave home without them.
After 30+ years of a sedentary career I found myself with symptoms of neuropathy in my feet. I have searched for years for socks that would help relive my discomfort. I have finally found the answer for me. These socks are comfortable from the time I put them on until my day is done. Thank you. I will certainly purchase again.
They fit well and are true to size. They also feel great-Love my Smartwool!
It is always a treat to wear these socks. My only complaint is that the cuff is snug if one has thicker calves. Is there a style with relaxed cuffs?
These socks are very snug. And the color kind of blends into the color of my ankles. They definitely keep my toes cozy.
