Smartwool socks are the best!
April 03, 2012

My husband wears these socks when he works out. Great quality and they fit him well. These socks aren't too thick, but aren't so thin that there isn't any cushioning. We're big fans of Smartwool socks!

Pros: Great design, Build quality, Lasts forever, Performance, Ease of use, Great value

Makes all the difference
January 26, 2012

I'm newer to running, so I didn't know what a difference a quality pair of running socks can make. After suffering from blisters, I asked my brother-in-law if he could recommend a good brand. He said any running sock from Smartwool is excellent. I tried these on and instantly knew I loved these socks. I went out and ran a 10k that night and could not believe how good my feet felt afterwords!

One of the best
October 23, 2011

I love these socks. These are the only short socks I'll wear anymore they have the best comfort with snugness and dryness. I have an old leg injury and these don't make my ankle swell at all. Well worth the price.

Pros: Great design, Build quality, Lasts forever
Cons: Cost

Great for 5K's and 10K's!
October 12, 2011

Using these for my running events. Great socks! Compared to typical socks, these are lightweight and seem to soak up moisture while letting my feet air out. It's nice to finish an event and remove your shoes without having soaked feet! I have probably around 20 pair of Smartwool socks and they are the best quality by far! Will definitely by more!

A great sock for the trails
July 21, 2011

Smartwool makes the best socks, period. The PhD line is the best of the best. The fit is perfect. The cushioning is just right. The comfort is superb. The quality is top-notch. I'm continually amazed at just how good a merino wool sock feels on my foot when I am running in the summer here in Southern California. If you like wool socks for running then you will like this. If you are skeptical about wool socks then give this one a try, you won't be disappointed. I like this sock especially for trail running because the cuff goes above the ankle. This is useful for keeping trail debris out. A note about the fit: this sock has a lot of stretch so make sure to slip it on instead of pulling it on. I wear a size 9.5 shoe and I ordered the large. The fit is perfect. These socks really are worth the money!

Pros: Great design, Build quality, Lasts forever, Performance, Ease of use, Great value, moisture wicking, temperature regulating

Last forever!
June 06, 2011

It's great to find a sock which feels comfortable out of the package, but generally after a few washes the material feels thinner and thinner. With Smartwool I've washed a ridiculous number of times and can barely tell these aren't new anymore. I own both the short version and these. I prefer the ankle on the these so that there's something to grab onto when adjusting. The super short version may cut a few oz from the weight, but i'm not sold.

Great cycling socks
May 12, 2011

An excellent summer cycling sock. They don't stretch in use and bunch up under your foot. No special care needed. They go right in the washer and dryer with my other cycling clothes.

Bought and used for running approx. 10km on mixed surfaces, very good quality product. Felt surprisingly thick compared to regular sports sock but not noticeable in the running shoe. Only negative to date is that it keeps the foot a bit too warm running on pavement on a warm day, however wicks sweat very well. XL fits US12 perfectly. Unable to comment on durability as yet.

Pros: Great design, Build quality

Great socks and perform exactly how they were advertised. Good comfort with great moisture wicking capability. And look Mom, no smelly feet. Can you say Smart...Wool? I knew you could.

So very comfortable...
October 05, 2010

I bought a ton of smartwool socks hoping for the best, and my hopes were answered. They stretch around your foot and compress in all the right places. The wool is very comfortable against your foot as well. I would now rather not wear socks than wear socks other than smartwool, except maybe Keen socks. ;)

Pros: Great design, Build quality, Lasts forever

Great socks!
August 13, 2010

My husband wears a size 15 shoe so it is hard to find socks that fit well, but these did the trick. He loves these! They help keep your feet dry & comfortable. I am planning on buying him another pair.

Very comfortable and dry
August 11, 2010

The moisture controll is extremely efficient, after a whole day of hiking, my feet are still dry. The best I have used!!

extremely comfortable all day socks
