Not Your Grandpa's Hiking Sock
Disclaimer: I received this product free in exchange for an honest, unbiased review. #SmartwoolLove I remember old school hiking socks... they were usually bulky, itchy, made my feet sweat, bunched up, hard to keep up on your calf, and caused blisters. Thanks to Smartwool, times have definitely cha...

My Least Fav Smartwool Sock
I'm a huge Smartwool fan but can't recommend these due to the toe box. The seam across the toes runs very wide and the edges aren't smoothly finished. As a result, there is extra material which bunches and is very uncomfortable. I've never had this issue with the plethora of Smartwool socks I own. C...

I'm a huge Smartwool fan but can't recommend these due to the toe box. The seam across the toes runs very wide and the edges aren't smoothly finished. As a result, there is extra material which bunches and is very uncomfortable. I've never had this issue with the plethora of Smartwool socks I own. Can only wear these inside my Sorel winter boots, certainly not either of my hiking boots. Disappointed.

I really like them! They're a bit thinner than I was expecting, but have cushion where it matters. Since getting used to them I like them!

My new favorite socks! I really love the fun colors; they make me smile even when I'm pulling them on my feet. Nice and cozy too. My feet are now well-protected from the winter blasts (aka, "Alberta Clippers") of the Midwest.
Great for non-insulated shoes both in- and outdoors

Great socks for winter. Surprising what a difference they make in all-day comfort. And the best part is they don't make my feet overly hot or sweaty. I live in Alaska but work in an office. These are great for both being inside most of the day and transitioning to outdoors, either walking for 10 or 20 minutes to lunch or spending significantly more time outside. Smartwool socks are especially effective for shoes, like Blundstones, that are not insulated. Bought one pair to test them out, then went back and got more. Love 'em.
Ehhh they need work

Great colors and patterns...cushion a bit less than Darn Tough. Durability seems the same.
