My go- to ankle biter for all- round wear. I must have a dozen pairs of these in various colors. They are super comfortable and last forever. Not too thick and just enough cushioning to keep your feet happy. You ca n't go wrong with these. Sizing is true but if you are on the cusp, I 'd go with the larger size.

So lightweight yet provides the cushion I need. Size is as expected.

Smartwool socks are not inexpensive but they are worth every penny. I like how the toe seam is unobtrusive. No more damaged toenails like I used to get with lesser quality socks. Plus Smartwool socks are durable, they do not wear out quickly. Smartwool is the only brand I wear when outside and active.

A long time ago time ago I was guided to Smartwool socks by my physician. There are probably 60+ pair in my sock drawer(s) from low ankle to winter hikers. Just got a new pair of ankle socks and they still feel fantastic when I slip them on. I have to give credit to Smartwool for carrying on the tradition of quality and service for 30+ years and providing such great options for discriminating customers. Keep up the good work!

I have always been a fan of the Smartwool Hiking Socks, but when summer comes along I often store them with my winter clothes. The new merino wool blend ankle socks have become my go to favorite socks for warmer weather hiking, golf and fishing. Unlike cotton ankle socks, If you encounter changing weather forecasts it's no problem because the merino wool keeps your feet feeling cozy and comfortable all the time.

I 've been using wool socks almost exclusively for over a decade now. I 've experimented with a lot of different brands and even some yak and camel wool socks. For my money, Smartwool seems to be the winner and these targeted cushion crew socks specifically are the best I 've ever used in hotter weather. I like the lifetime warranty of a couple of other brands, but they are more restricting in the toes and my feet feel more damp in them. These just feel soft and non restrictive. I use barefoot style shoes for about everything and the natural foot shape allowing the toes to splay is great, but only if your socks allow your toes to do it too. These allow for that and are much easier to put on than toe socks. They also seem reasonably durable. I 'll be buying more!

I am glad I bought the first two pair of these in a store because I am borderline on the size chart. I realized by holding and extending their length I needed a Large rather than Medium as recommended by the chart for size 9 women. The socks are so comfortable in heat or cold and I love the softness and quality. I am only a track/mall walker so I use the unpadded for daily wear and love them. I just received 3 more pair in the mail and they appear to be fine.

[ So I hardly ever write a review on anything I ’ ve purchased let alone a pair of socks but THESE are truly great. The day I wore these in Virginia on a camping trip with friends kept my feet comfortable and cool while hiking then warm and cozy at night while sleeping. I know I probably should not have slept in a pair of socks that I had hiked in all day but they were dry and did not stink at all and they made my feet happy so I did.

[ I am an outdoor educational instructor and have tried “ all ” of the wool socks out there. Many are great but I find the smart wool brand to have a softer hand, so they are comfortable to wear, and they take a beating and keep going. There are times I have to wade a creek or run out in snow in socks only and these socks insulate superbly. If wet I can wring them out and put them back in and keep going. Excellent!

Works equally well as intended in my hiking boots.

Great socks for hiking and running. It's a wool blend so that 'll help with comfort, cushioning and drying. One thing to note is I ordered a size L on the website where the expectation would be that it would be a size 8- 12. The item received is sized 10- 11. 5, so if you are on the extreme ends of the expected range, the sock may not fit appropriately for you. Thankfully for me, it fits fine for my size 12 foot. I would not mind picking up additional pairs!

I purchased these socks primarily for a family hiking trip to Yosemite, Death Valley, Mono Lake, BigSur. I was hoping that they would hold up to varying terrain, to varying heat, to varying altitude and to varying needs. Getting wet in the streams, and dry in the salt flats. They were great! They fit snugly, they did NOT cause over- heating. No blisters, nothing. Just support and enjoyment. Clean up is a snap- just toss them in the wash and dryer. In Death Valley, they `` line dry '' outside your cabin in an hour! C'mon!
When selecting socks for hiking the Appalachian Trail, prioritize features such as moisture-wicking materials, cushioning, and breathability. Look for socks that provide support and reduce friction to prevent blisters during long hikes. Additionally, consider the height of the sock, as taller options can offer more protection against debris and insects.
The best materials for Appalachian Trail socks typically include a blend of merino wool, synthetic fibers, and nylon. Merino wool is known for its moisture-wicking properties and temperature regulation, while synthetic fibers can enhance durability and quick-drying capabilities. A combination of these materials can provide comfort and performance on long hikes.
Choosing the right size for Appalachian Trail socks is crucial for comfort and performance. Ensure that the socks fit snugly without being too tight, as this can lead to discomfort and blisters. Refer to the sizing chart provided by the manufacturer, and consider your shoe size and any additional cushioning you may want.
For long-distance hiking on the Appalachian Trail, crew and quarter-length socks are often recommended. Crew socks provide additional coverage and protection, while quarter-length socks can be cooler and more breathable. The choice between styles may depend on personal preference and the type of footwear being used.
Appalachian Trail socks play a significant role in overall hiking comfort by providing cushioning, moisture management, and support. Properly designed socks can help prevent blisters and discomfort during long treks, allowing for a more enjoyable hiking experience. Investing in high-quality socks tailored for hiking can enhance your performance on the trail.
