A superb general hiking or backpacking sock, the SmartWool Hiking Medium Crew sock has ample cushioning for extended trips but is not so bulky that it's out of the question for day hikes. Looking beyond the cushioning, the SmartWool fibers play a major role in the comfort experience. These fibers are extremely small, with a diameter much smaller than a human hair. This makes for a very soft sock, a feeling that is very inviting to the feet the moment you slip them on. The SmartWool fibers also move moisture at a phenomenal rate, wicking away perspiration vapor before it has a chance to turn to a liquid. Another important comfort advantage of the SmartWool Hiking Medium Crew sock is the supportive arch brace. This brace feels much like a terry cloth wristband, wrapping around the mid-foot area to hold the sock in place and support the foot.
the best
i wear these all the time, work, play, hiking, whatever. They are super durable and last years. They wick great and never smell, plus they stay cool in the summer and warm in the winter. There is a lighter weight and a heavier weight sock in the same style available but these medium weight socks are the best of both worlds - not too thick, not too thin.
Excellent socks
Just got back from a 50 mile backpacking trip; first time I've used these socks and I'm very pleased with them. Started the trip w/ the socks and some sock liners but soon dropped the liners because these socks are good enough on their own. Excellent support and cushioning and they did a great job of keeping my feet comfortable mile after mile. A must have for all future trips!
super socks
I alternated 3 pairs of these on a 600 mile walk across northern Spain, Camino Santiago, without a blister or tired feet. Can I say more? No.

i never thought there would be such a comfortable socks, i mean,comfortable,i wore them with running shoes in temps of 30 degrees to test them,and i'm sticking with these,forget other brands,i have north face,but these is something else,i'm buying several more!
nice!!!
Nice sock for the winter,worth every penny!!
Great as ever!
Smartwool socks are my favorite. They feel great, wear well and are made from good ingredients. Altrec's service as great. Thank you!
Great Socks
Very warm and comfortable, a little pricy but I'll probably order more anyway.
extreemly comfortable, does the job
probably one of the most comfortable socks I've every had on my feet.
Toasty
Nice and toasty. Warm during the cool weather but not overly warm inside the house or after hiking. I have other merino wool socks (REI, Wright, and Eco Merino) and these are my favorites. I machine wash in a front load washer but line dry. I think they last longer that way.
Excellent.
These socks are comfortable in all weather, and they hold their shape perfectly, wash after wash.
Warm,comfortable,breathable.
Feel good on your feet,need a bit of care when washing or drying or they will look like your old favorite socks quickly,but I would buy them again for the comfort and temp regulation alone.
Active feet need great socks!
It's one thing to buy a good pair of shoes, but good socks, I think are the key piece of equipment often overlooked. These socks are a great investment. I used these Smartwools during the bitter cold of winter in Iowa and they were the best. They are durable and have held up to tremendous hard use be it hiking and/or working on my feet for 12 hour days. They offer a nice cushion for the feet and they maintain their shape, wash after wash.
Love these socks!
We first tried these socks while hiking in Colorado. Just bought a bunch more. They're so warm and durable. I also love the SmartWool running socks. Now I just wish I had some to wear to work, especially during our frigid winter in Ohio!
Comfortable and cool
These socks are great. They are comfortable, breath well, keep your feet cool, and so far have not pilled.
Great Socks, Can be a Little Warm
I wear these socks to work most days, they stay up well and have a nice cushion, in the summer they can get a little toasty but thats expected from a mid weight sock. Overall I would really recommend them. As mentioned above you have to be a little careful when washing.
