Smartwool Light Cushion Women's Hiking Socks, Merino Wool Walking Socks, Ladies' Crew Design, Walking, Running & Sport Seamless Toe, Breathable Natural Merino, Ladies'

This was a really good product. Have to admit I was sceptical not being a regular walker. Used for a trek, over 10 miles with absolutely no issues with my feet during or after. I was well impressed and so were my companions, me not being a seasoned walker. Weather was changeable in the day with sun warm and then foggy cold weather and socks felt fine for both. I would definitely recommend.

I am an Ambulance Nurse, I’m outside in the cold and rain most of the time, these socks feel great, don’t slip and keep me warm all day without making my feet get sweaty. Very high quality.

Great quality socks, fit well around heel and toes, no pinching around the feet. Good cushioning on the toe and heel area. Very comfortable to walk in, good height if you have higher boots, feet are well aired - any moisture is wicked away easily. Don't balk at the cost, your feet are an investment and you'll regret blisters/rubbing. Buy cheap buy twice. Delivered super quick and efficiently.

As described, very comfortable and good quality, Very satisfied 👍

They felt a bit tighter fit than my normal socks. But I tried them on a few times and I love them ,so I've ordered another pair. I haven't been hiking in them yet as I injured my achilles tendon. So it'll be a while before I test them out. But they feel like they'll work well.

Washed well but can shrink if put on radiators or tumble dryers. Keeps feet nice and warm

I already have several pairs like this and so snapped up an offer of three pairs for the price of two. I walk a lot with my dogs and wear them almost every day. They are very comfortable, do not move out of position when I walk, and wash well.

Dries quickly, fits well, keeps my feet warm

Purchased to climb Ben Nevis! They were perfect with my hiking boots and very comfortable. I wear them not hiking as well! Good quality and fun color.

Bought these for our trip to Scotland and I wore them several days between washing and they smelled and felt fine just as advertised. We walked a Lot and they provided comfortable support and just felt good. I have purchased more since then.

I have not tried these yet on an extensive hike. However they have been great on regular walks. Will soon test them out on an extended 2-weeks hiking trip.

Je cherchais un bas de randonnée confortable et sans frottement. Après plusieurs tentatives, j’ai enfin trouvé. Par contre ils sont un peu chauds. Pas grave, après une heure de marche ça donne l’occasion de s’arrêter et d’aérer mes pieds.

Socks can be a fickle thing to find an all-season use, let alone hiking or exploring. Finding a wool blend that is more wool than artificial is a feat all its own.After having tried other higher-priced hiking wool socks, the Smartwool is one that lives up to its claims of warmth and functionality without sacrificing style, comfort or functionality.The ridged slope between the toes and ankle offer firm but functional resistance, no bunching or tightness like some other higher-priced brands; seeing as how this is the most flexed part in any step taken, this is key. Toes are reinforced with another thin layer, helping keep toes in place and protected from any chafing; I spent an entire afternoon walking the high-sloped paths of Scotland in a rain with a pair of mid-high Converse with reinforced mouth (don't judge, the hiking boots wouldn't fit in the suitcase to get it closed) and upon the shoes taken off at the end of the day showed no sign of any soreness or blisters. Reliability proof doesn't come any better than that.The pair also withstands toenails far better than most socks, and us fellas aren't the most punctual when it comes to trimming, let's be honest.The design and color options are also stylish outside of a shoe, and while tight don't agitate sensitive skin (merino wool is treated much better than average wool and feels as comfortable as cotton), nor leave thicker imprints after a day of use, leaving your foot and calf feeling relaxed and not sore due to elastic rings (provided you haven't imbibed heavy sodium intake all day and retained more fluid). They're even decent for everyday use and good for cooler months around the house; they've even been known to inspire walks around the neighborhood on a whim with this user.It's appreciated that the brunt of the blend is wool versus others who use acrylics or nylons as the majority, and because of that, the comfort, durabilty and style set these above competitors. I liked these so much I bought a second pair, a worthy investment for when I need a durable sock for outdoor use that won't overburden my foot inside a boot or shoe with thickness or tightness. The cost is justified for at least a single pair for those looking for something for travel or starting an outdoor lifestyle.
