These socks are outstanding! I purchased them to travel to Scotland and they exceeded my expectations for warmth, comfort and breathability. When it was cold in the morning, they were the correct choice (warmth). When the day became sunny and the temperature climbed they were soft and the material breathed. I will be buying more.
I did not like the feel of the material. While the fit and look is similar to the normal socks, these second cut socks feel rough on the inside and the material appears to be sewn more loosely than the regular socks.
Purchased several pair for an upcoming hike on the Camino Santiago. Chose Smartwool as I have worn them for many years; they always perform extremely well providing exceptional comfort during long days on the trail.
Working twelve hour shifts in the hospital and coming out with comfortable and dry feet is rare, but it’s definitely more common since using these. Thick without feeling heavy and hot, and surprisingly soft.
I love these socks. I bought three pairs and will surely be back again :) I was nervous they were going to be really thin, but the thickness is perfect!
I would love write a review but I have no recieves them yet. Should yet reorder what. Fedex with not give a answer.
Shocked at how comfortable these are even in very hot weather. They stayed cool and dry!
I’m between 6.5 and 7 got the Med. Fits great, not too thick and bought 3pairs!
