Best sox i've owned
I ordered these for work. I am a meter reader in Phoenix and wear these under my hiking boots during the winter for a minimum 9 hours a day. I picked the mediums for winter and they are awesome. I find myself wearing them for several days in a row without washing which may seem weird but they show no signs of wear or smell and I'm sure this will extend their life.

Great Winter Socks for Active use
I use these for my fall/winter bike commute. I find them perfect for temperatures ranging from the high 30s to mid 50s. They are fairly durable, and I like the fit--definitely has some cushioning, but not too bulky in a pair of shoes. Wool's moisture wicking and anti-odor properties are always a plus too.

These socks are great!
I bought them for my dad who wears them instead of the medical diabetic socks. They're cushioned across the entire bottom so his feet won't be injured and they are very comfortable. I'm an advocate as I've been buying and wearing them for some time.

Excellent socks
Once you wear Smartwool socks, you will never want to wear cotton or polyester socks again. Or most normal wool socks. These are near perfect, thick and comfortable, thou I don't quite understand the point of the goofy racing stripes on them. Easy to wash. Personally I air dry them instead of using the dryer.
Good for cold weather. Good for mild weather. Still better than cotton for warm weather. Great moisture wicking.

Sock it to me again!
Everything people say about these socks is true. They really are that good! Since they dry fast and resist odor I find I can bring just two pairs on hiking trips (wear one and carry one), thus saving significant weight. These socks weigh 85 grams (3 ounces) per pair in large size. The medium weight is great for long hikes in cool weather. After experiencing Smartwool socks I don't want to wear anything else!

great hiking sock for cold weather
I spent the weekend hiking the paramos in the Colombian Andes with only this pair of socks (and of course all my other clothes...). It was rainy and I didn't have waterproof shoes. Luckily, I had these socks. They kept my feet warm, were incredibly comfortable, and best of all, they hug your feet quite nicely and stay put! When I came home and washed them they went right back to how they looked before I'd put them through sock h377. Love 'em. Of course, they're SmartWool...what do you expect?

make old shoes feel like new
These socks are great. They do all that Smartwool promises when they say their socks are warm, dry (even if you sweat), comfortable and durable. You pay more but they are worth every penny. I really think I am going to wear ONLY Smartwool socks from now on. You can even order different thicknesses depending on the shoe you want to wear them with.

Wish I could afford more...
These would be the only socks I ever wear. I got a pair of smartwool quarter socks with my shoes and they were so awesome that I researched and bought these crew socks. Wearing them in my combat boots have been the most comforatable combination I have ever had on my feet. Plus, their intelligent sizing allows me to have socks that actually fit my 8.5 feet. Wish I could afford to replace all my socks with SmartWool.

LOVE Smartwool!
These keep my feet warm and comfortable, and I don't wear any other socks in the Winter.

THE best
There is a reason they're pricey, they really are the best socks I've ever owned. The fit is much better than any of the Bridgedale, IceBreaker, Patagonia...whatever socks you want you want to compare them to. I think they're the closest you can get to a "stink-free" pair of socks, which might be a moot point because my feet never seem to sweat with them on. If I'm wearing shoes, I'm wearing these.

I always buy smartwool
Smartwool fits well and keep my feet warm without the odor I get with other socks.

Excellent wool socks
If you have not tried Smartwool socks, you should. Long lasting, easy care, very good padding, good fit, and smartwool is much better than cotton or polyester at keeping your feet warm and dry without getting hot. Don't really like the odd ugly wavy line of color, I guess they felt like they had to add something different.

45 miles - not 1 blister !
I previously used cotton or generic brand wool socks for hiking. A bicycling friend recommended Smartwool socks, so I dug deep into the pocket and purchased several pairs. They performed extremely well on a recent 45 mile backpacking trip to Mt. Whitney. They were comfortable, did not bunch, remained dry, didn't smell (not too bad) and washed well on the trail. I took 2 pairs, alternated days and the socks appear to have worn well. We'll see how they look in several years! Good product, I would buy again. Look for sale prices and don't get hung up on color - it's not a fashion show out there!

GREAT socks!!
These socks are very comfortable due to the combination of the wool and construction/support. The padding is just right and never feels bulky. My feet have never felt too hot which is remarkable living in SO. CA.
