"I absolutely LOVE these Smartwool socks
937579
My wife purchased these and here's her thoughts: "I absolutely LOVE these Smartwool socks! I had one pair years ago that were "micro" style. Unfortunately these would often get pushed down into my shoe and this was uncomfortable/irritating when running. Therefore, I went with this (slightly taller) style. I wear a size 9 running shoe and decided to order the large, even though the sizing chart recommended a medium for me. I'm so glad I went with the large because they fit PERFECTLY. I will never run in any other brand of socks! They work well for all seasons and are not too warm (even in the summer). You won't be disappointed if you purchase these! I plan to purchase a few more pairs in the near future. Worth every bit of money and the quality is outstanding!"

If you have never tried a pair of Smartwool socks then you don't know what your missing. I have several pairs of Smartwool socks and they are my favorite sock.

I have been a fan of Smartwool socks since I bought my first two pairs six or seven years ago at REI.  They are finely woven, warm, and comfortable socks.  I am not one of those people who is cold all the time and I don't live in an extremely cold climate.  However, I wouldn't be without these socks when it's chilly or cold.  I think they help keep my whole body warm.

I have at least 20 pairs of these socks and I think I still have one of my first two pairs.  They wear very well.  I don't know why people are complaining about pilling and holes.  I always throw them in the dryer.  I wear a 9.5 shoe and order medium and drying them does not make them shrink.  I guess the quality control might be lax sometimes, but I've never had a bad pair.

Before you think I'm crazy for spending hundreds and hundreds of dollars on socks you should know there are cheaper places to get them.  After my first two pairs of these socks I rarely spend more than $8 to $10 on a pair.  If you check Sierra Trading Post and sign up for the deal flyers you can save a whole lot of money.  Especially at this time of the year into summer when people are thinking of swimsuits--not wool socks.  Some of the socks there are imperfect or seconds, but not all.  These make great Christmas gifts for almost anyone.  Even my sisters in Florida love them.

Love the comfort, wicking, and cushioning of these SmartWool socks. They hug your feet and don't slide down.

I have been buying smart wool socks for years and then I found people's socks. They are great quality and at an incredible price.

I have been wearing Smartwool socks for many years. The sizing/length and fit at opening has changed considerably in the last 2-3 years. I could not wear the last 8 pairs ordered that I took with me overseas. Really loved the raspberry color.

I hate socks....with a passion. Top of my pet peeve list? Socks. They are torturous, disagreeable little things I will only wear when absolutely necessary. As I live in a region which experiences glacially cold winters, I sadly have to imprison my feet in uncomfortable, irritating socks far too often, but find they do little to thaw my frozen toes, while simultaneously contorting themselves into incomprehensible positions inside my shoes and boots.

So, imagine my surprise when I first put on a pair of these Smartwool socks and... *loved* it? My feet felt ...happy? And warm? And blessedly dry? And -- wonder of wonders -- they stayed that way all day long, and through multiple attempts on my part to prove it was too good to be true. But it was true! They really are that great! And I am  now 100% a fan. By some miracle of otherworldly powers, these socks don't bunch up. They don't twist in my shoes/boots and cause crazy lumps just when I'm trying to get somewhere in a hurry. They don't pill. They don't squish my admittedly large feet or squeeze my toes. And they don't get damp or clammy or smelly inside my very fashionable but otherwise impractical boots. I didn't know socks could be tolerable, much less downright glorious to wear... but these definitely are!  Every evil sock in my collection will now be replaced by Smartwool socks, and I won't regret for a second the extra money spent to do it. Worth every single penny. From the bottom of my feet: thank you, Smartwool. My winters will never be the same.

Ok, these are super cute!  I bought the pack of 5 owls.  I wear socks nearly every moment I am at home and have quite the collection, but I also go through a lot of socks.  I know a quality pair when I see it.  To start, the current price of around 10 bucks for 5 pairs is a steal and I got a discount on top of that, for test and review purposes.  I chose the owl socks solely (hehe) because of the little added whimsy of their ears.  The 5 pairs arrived quickly, the colors are very vibrant and the detail is crisp.  The elastic in these socks is on point.  I don't see these stretching out and slipping down with repeated wear, at all.  The fabric is tightly woven and thicker than an average women's dress trouser sock.  Very good quality.

They had no cheap chemical smell upon arrival.  I accidentally washed them on a hot cycle and high heat dry with an item I was intentionally trying to shrink and the colors did not bleed or fade.  The pattern didn't stretch out or distort and there were no loose threads.  Very, very minor shrinkage even with my washing and drying mistake.

I wear a women's 7.5 shoe and I have kinda a chubby foot and short snausage toes, according to my sweet, sweet family.  These socks are soft and comfy. The length is about 2" higher than my ankle. I have already worn all 5 pairs and I think they are adorable.  I am getting ready to buy more patterns, as I am very impressed with the quality and the value!

An A+ buy!

Nice, heavy weight socks. Good for hiking or cold weather. Very comfortable. I have noticed the quality of Smartwool isn't what it used to be and wanted something made in the USA and these are, at least, knitted in the USA. The price is what made me give them a chance. Well worth it!

I've owned Smartwool socks since forever.  I was delighted to be able to import them to where I'm living now.

I was an avid Smartwool fan for years until I realized how quickly they wear thru. These have become my new standard for 3/4 socks. I wear them for work or play in winter or summer and they always perform well.

I love these socks. Seems like thy will last and  a lot cheaper than smartwool socks (which I love). These are fantastic though. I like my socks kinda tight so I tend to order smaller. Don't do that with these socks. They do not have a lot of stretch.

Warm, comfortable, and 100% wool!  I love Smartwool and this didn't disappoint.

I purchased this item for myself. I love them, they are so warm and comfy. They are quite thick but I have worn them under my winter boots, garden boots and ice skates with no problem. Due to the thickness of these socks they add quite a bit of comfort to all of them.

I wear a size 7 women's  shoe and they are just a bit too large, I think I will order the smaller size too. The size I purchased, meduim, fits women's shoe size 7-8 1/2, so I am at the lower end of this size according to the Smartwool company's website. My husband wears a side 8 1/2 men's shoe (which is the upper end of this socks fit) so I may pass these (unisex socks) on to him, I think they will fit. If not, no problem, they do fit me well enough that I will definitely wear them, I was just thinking he would love a pair too!

I bought my husband 2 pairs of Darn Tough socks for Christmas. He loves them! The fit is great; they have just the right amount of cushion; and they're nice and warm. In fact, we might like them better than Smartwools.

LOVE THESE SOCKS. Here's why:

1. Super cute. Every time I wear them I get at least one compliment on them, usually followed by asking where I got them. In the winter I like to wear these with leggings and boots and they look really good.
2. Warm. I live in Michigan so there are some pretty cold days. I have another pair of Smartwool that are thicker than these that are my go-to for the coldest days, but these are the second warmest socks I have. I especially like to wear them around the house on cold days because they are so cozy.
3. Durable. I just got these before last winter but I wore them all the time and they are still like new despite many wears and washes. If I just wear them around the house I can get a couple of uses out of them without them seeming gross which is really nice.

The world's most perfect sock! So, so, so, comfortable and works well in both warm and cold weather situation. I know I am going to sound like a geek, but I absolutely love wearing these under my Ecco Yucatan Sandles. I almost fifty so I just don't care anymore. These are comfortable, stylish and of the highest design quality. Smartwool, you have a fan for life!!!
