I'm A Fan!

I'm a fan! These socks are thick and warm and comfy with just the right amount of cushion, and I love that they're mostly wool! Great for hiking days! These may be a bit thick for everyday wear, but... they're my new go-to's anyway.

They felt great, super soft. I am always happy with the quality of the socks every time I’ve ever bought them they last forever and I love this, particularly color of socks, one of my favorites and planning on purchasing a second pair.

Foot Hugs

These socks fit like a hug on my feet. They are well crafted and cushion my feet well especially with the padding around the back of the ankle. I will definitely be purchasing more!

Fantastic Socks

Fantastic sock, not my first purchase of smart wool socks, but first time I’ve bought directly from the site. Definitely worth the money, I’ve had a few pairs for 8+ years and they remain favorites! Love the color options also. I hike occasionally, but use these for work days even, I’m an RN in a hospital setting and these help keep my feet comfy and dry!

Favorite Socks!

I wear these socks all the time since discovering them years ago. They are the best in every way! I especially love the low profile without slippage. The thickness is great, yet they're never too hot. I wear them all year and I live in the South. They are not too heavy even in the summer with the heat and humidity. The weight is perfect! The design is unique and the colors are fantastic. These are my favorite socks and have been for years! Give them a try! You will be happy you did.

Excellent Socks!

These socks are incredible! My feet are so happy…no blisters and the socks help keep my feet dry even in 100 plus degree heat! Thank you! I love smart wool!

Great Socks!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I never thought a pair of socks could make such a difference, but Smartwool socks have been a total game changer! They’re incredibly comfortable, even on the hottest summer days. My feet stay cooler and drier, and they do an amazing job of preventing odor from developing—even after hours of walking. The merino wool is soft, breathable, and doesn’t feel itchy at all. I was skeptical at first, but now I completely understand why so many people rave about them. Once you try Smartwool socks, it’s hard to want to wear anything else. They’ve become my go-to socks, and I keep adding more pairs to my collection. Highly recommend!

Great Buy!

These are great comfortable socks that give just enough cushion to keep your feet happy. They're just what you want in a quality sock for hike/walking support. How can you go wrong with wool/comfort/heat/drying control all in one. . . you cannot. The design works as intended and I love these new socks!

Terrific Socks

I’ve rated these before. They are my “go too” for everyday. Great fit, comfortable with the right amount of cushion.

Michelle

Cool And Comfy!

Cool and comfy - that's what these socks do to my feet, keep them cool and comfy all day long. The cushion under the toes and heels add the right amount of support, while the wool keeps the temperature just right. Plus, you gotta love the fun colors!!
