Hike Light Cushioning Winding Trail Merino Wool Blend Crew Socks

So soft and comfortable, I could wear these socks everyday throughout the year!!

These socks come true to size and their form-fitting weave means that they don't shift about or bunch up while wearing them on hikes. Never a blister, never a cuff sliding down. My old feet do get hot in them during summer hikes, presumably from the nylon fibers needed to form the durable matrix for the wool. I do appreciate that they are domestically woven too.

The 6 pair I ordered has not arrived yet, but I have ordered 12 pair of the black/grey color previously and I absolutely love them. I’m an electrician and I order them to wear with my work boots. My feet use to sweat a lot with other brands of socks but not these. What got me hooked on these was when I ordered 5 pairs of the low hike socks for a trip to Costa Rica. I knew I was going to be on my feet a lot on that trip and wanted a good quality sock. They definitely held up for that trip and have held up for the past two years after.

I have phased out all other sports underwear, sweaters, and socks for Smartwool. For socks, I have thin ones to wear with my more formal shoes, medium cushion for summer, and full cushion for winter. They are durable. They are attractive. They handle sweat and cold and heat. They are largely, maybe totally, resistant to the moths that get to wool sweaters. I hike in them. I walk in them. I go to fancy parties in them. I would be just about naked without them. . .

Always soft, the cushion doesn’t collapse after repeated wear and washing. Smartwool is always the best!

I am picky about socks and am really glad that I bought these socks. They fit well. They are comfortable. They hold up well. They feel nice.
