Used by veteran climbers, backpackers, and trail runners worldwide, the liner sock creates a friction buffer between the foot and outer sock. Assuming there is adequate volume within the hiking or running shoe, this additional layer takes the brunt of any rubbing, not your foot. The SmartWool Hiking Liner Crew sock is a great option for trying this technique. If you're suffering from blisters and hot spots, give this solution a try. Also, the SmartWool Hiking Liner Crew provides a touch more warmth for cold conditions.
Perfect lightweight sock
I got these to take on a trip to Europe as my "everyday" socks - and I couldn't have asked for a better product. Lightweight and comfortable with different shoes, these will be a staple in my wardrobe!
Great Sock
I love Smartwool, and these socks lived up to my expectations. Nice as a thin standalone sock, size fit as expected.
Good value
Not a bad sock for the price. Good as a thin, stand alone or as a liner. Very comfortable. Haven't owned them long enough to say how durable they are. I wear an 11 & they fit me a little loose; I think smaller feet would swim in the size large.

Excellent socks. They are comfortable and appear to be durable (I think they’ll last a long time). I've worn them for 2 weeks straight and they don't smell. Highly recommend.
Awesome
I use these socks mainly on their own when I want a thin breathable sock, and I wear them instead of icky nylon "trouser socks" with my work shoes. I initially bought them to wear with some Dansko clogs that are tight-fitting. I only had one pair and I just bought three more, I love them. I can't wear wool usually, but Smartwool socks never itch.
Great liners
Well worth the money, very comfortable next to my feet.
Great for Winter Hiking... or Anytime
These are excellent liner socks! Currently, I use them mainly during cold weather, since they provide a significant amount of warmth yet are still very thin. If your feet get cold easily, I would definitely recommend using these liners. And even if your feet don't get cold easily, I would STILL recommend using these liners, since they are super soft, comfortable, minimize sweat and are a natural fiber!
Nice liners
Nice liners to wear under my wool socks. So far so good. No blisters!
Ski boots
I purchased two pairs of these socks to fit my tight downhill skiing boots. There are doing excellent.
Good value
Great lightweight sock. You can use it as a thin sock or a liner if you need more protection from cold or blisters. It does feel a tiny bit scratchy, but that is good when it's warm. Fit true to size.
Ready to Go!
These do what a good liner sock should do and live up to the Smartwool name. They are slightly heavier than some, so allow room when buying shoes.
Nice socks - Typical of Smarwool
These are nice liners. Don't think these are thick, but in the past I'm used to really really thin liners that are almost like second skin and are really slippery. That said, they're still pretty thin and slippery enough between sock layers so from my observation and experience using them during backpacking/hunting they do the job well. They fit snug, as a liner should. FYI, I always err on the smaller side because you do not want your socks to bunch inside the boot (especially a liner). That said, with most liners, if they're too small, they'll stretch way out and the threads will have more surface area with space between the stretched threads. If that's the case, the liners will stick to your feet/outer socks defeating (no pun intended) the purpose of the liner. My two cents. Anyway, nice sock as expected by smartwool. I'm paired with the PhD medium cushion Outdoor socks and it's the best combo I've used for hardcore packing while under decent load (60-80 lbs). Get differnt colors so you know which ones in your pack are 3 day old funk. Enjoy.
Hiking
always end up with blisters so i bought these to wear under my hiking socks and so far so good. no more blisters. only downside i've noticed is that when your feet sweat the black dye will stain your feet.
