Purchased first pair of these socks for cycling in cooler weather. Have now purchased others for running as well. They are very comfortable, provide great cushion and keep feet warm & dry.

Great Sock
December 15, 2011

These socks are fantastic. They are fit snugly, but not uncomfortably tight. I don't like it when socks bunch or move around inside my shoe. These socks fit perfectly. They are tight enough to not bunch, but not so tight to be uncomfortable. I wear a size 11 or 11.5 US men's shoe and bought a large. The large is recommended for a size up to 11.5. I agree with the sizing. A size 12 foot would probably be too big for the large sock.

Pros: Great design, Build quality, Lasts forever, Performance, Ease of use, Great value
Comfort: 5 / 5

smart wool socks cost a little more but worth the price. I intend to purchase more smart wool socks in the future. I have bought other products from Altrec and it is a very customer oriented company.

socking good
October 14, 2011

The feel and quality appears to be very good but have not tested them yet. Even though, they are running socks, they are feel comfortable for my workout at the gym. The socks were almost too small since it turns out the small is a women small but were listed under the men sock category. I just hope they do not shrink a lot. I will tryout one and return the other if it does. I have Smartwool ski socks and they are great. I am sure they are comparable.

Nice socks.
June 19, 2011

I wear around a size 10 shoe, depending on the brand. The medium fits fine, if not a little snug. The sock is super supportive despite the thinness of the material. I'll agree with another reviewer that after a few wears they get super fuzzy. Washing helps. They don't repel odor quite as good as the shirts, but that is to be expected. Overall a great sock for the money.

Pros: Great design, Build quality, Performance

Workout Socks
March 11, 2011

These socks are very comfortable, and the fit is perfect They come just above the shoe collar. They also wash very well,with no pilling at all. They are breathable, wicking away most of the accumulated moisture. I would highly recommend these for athletic activity.

SmartWool Mens Socks
January 27, 2011

Amazing socks! I never sweat in these socks. Despite the cost of the socks, there are no CONS. They are worth the cost if you are a heavy sweater and can't stand the feeling of wet feet.

Great for being on my feet all day
November 17, 2010

I wear these non-stop, and they don't slide on my foot or in my shoe. They breathe well so I don't have to worry about my feet getting too cold, too hot, or too stinky. I would highly recommend these for both daily wear and outdoor activities.

Nice Sock for standing all day
November 14, 2010

I am constantly standing for 16-18 hours per day. I find this sock to provide moisture wicking as well as some additional padding for the heel.

Pros: Great design, Build quality, Ease of use
Cons: Wears quickly, Cost

Cool socks!
August 09, 2010

100 degree heat in Dallas is no problem for Smartwool!

Great socks
July 04, 2010

I wear the smartwool running socks everyday. Great fit, they won't get loose on you at the end of the day. They also never smell which is a plus. I am on my feet for up to 12 hours straight at work and these make it much more tolerable.

Year round comfort
June 16, 2010

I am a big fan of smartwool socks. My brother-in-law, a Colorado potato grower, introduced me to them nearly 20 years ago. They wear very well, fit well and are very comfortable. Can't say enough good things about them. I wear smartwool year round. In the dry(low humidity) Colorado climate, they keep me warm in winter and cool in summer. Additionally, they keep my heels from cracking and bleeding, unlike other socks. Own them...you'll love them.

A foot above the rest
April 04, 2010

I love Smartwool socks, they are very comfortable. The running ultra light micro has a heel "nook" that your heel slides right into for perfect placement of your foot in the sock. I use these for hiking, work, and everyday use. I prefer the outdoor sock versus the running because of its superior padding, but overall a quality sock.

perfect for working out!
March 28, 2010

these socks are great for any kind of activity. they keep your feet comfortable in the cold, but cool enough to wear while working out. they wick moisture really well

Soft and Comfortable
January 01, 2010

These socks are the only socks that I will wear for running and cycling. I am an avid runner (I have completed 27 marathons) and the Smart Wool socks are the only ones that I can wear that do not rub or chaf my feet. The best on the market!

Atul Bahl

amazing
August 28, 2009

WOW. I never thought that socks would make such a difference. I use them for running, biking, as well as every day walking. The fit, the breathability, the comfort - i will be buying a lot more of these.

Great Socks
April 18, 2009

Best socks, I have ever worn. Light, but just enough cushioning and the wool feels great on your feet. Also the little extra material that extends up on back protects your achilles from shoe rubbing.

Megan Connolly

Awesome Socks!
February 27, 2009

I workout a ton, and these socks provide the support I need and last forever! They also keep my feet really dry!

Great Prodfuct!
September 09, 2008

These socks are great. Fit well and very durable. I have ordered them before for my wife and liked them so well I ordered three pair for myself.

great fit, great socks
August 25, 2008

I'm a very picky sock wearer. I heard these socks were really great so I tried a pair. WOW!! They are great! I bought 6 more pair for my wife and I.
