Smartwool Hike Classic Edition Light Cushion Crew Socks - Grey/Grey

Brilliant. My everyday wear. Had to toss other brand wool / poly socks because they can not compare to the Smartwool HIKE LIGHT CUSHION SPIKED STRIPE CREW SOCKS. Also I wear traditional English shoes (Tricker's) which run wide so the Smartwool socks are perfect for getting a comfortable for where dress socks would flop around and suck. Smartwool light cushion socks are the best insurance against wet feet, athlete's foot fungus, and blisters. Also there is a bit over reverse snobbery in wearing quality hiking socks in court (I am an attorney) and looking cool instead of expensive dress socks with a suit.

I received my pair of socks through the Smartwool insider program and I have been extremely pleased with them! They are extremely comfortable to wear, and I found the extra cushion welcome during my 8 hour retail shift. I would say they fit true to size, I usually wear a size 8 shoe and the medium fits well. These socks do stretch out, by the second day i found they were fitting looser than before. they do affect the fit of your footwear and if recommend trying on boots with these socks as they definitely affect the fit of your footwear. I used these socks mainly in my daily life and I plan to use them during the winter in my boots to keep my feet toasty warm. Dispute their warmth my feet never felt sweaty or damp, the socks kept moisture away from my feet.Overall ... MoreI received my pair of socks through the Smartwool insider program and I have been extremely pleased with them!

Excellent socks for hiking and casual wear. They wear well and don't seem to get any foul smell if being worn for more than one day; this is a great benefit when traveling and have a lack of laundry facilities. They also air dry fairly quick, which is also great when you need to hand-wash them, or if you get them wet. I would certainly recommend them for travelers, hikers, and even some backpacking.The only negative note is that they are an inch taller (I wear XL) than the previous model of roughly 3 years ago. I wear hiking boots most of the time and I like the mid-crew style as it (once) just comes above the boot shaft by just an inch or two, and did not ride up on my calves. But unfortunately, this model and the prior year's now ride up on my calf kind-of ... MoreExcellent socks for hiking and casual wear.

But unfortunately, this model and the prior year's now ride up on my calf kind-of awkwardly; I have to fold down the top, or kinda "scrunch" them down. It's not a huge deal overall, but it's counter-intuitive to the "mid-crew" design purpose.
