I defientely would own several pairs of these.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] At first I thought they were gonna be too thick even for light cushion but they were perfect in my Hoka trail running shoes. Really saved my feet on a day hike.

Yes, will keep using.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used these socks for some very special event: Matterhorn Extreme Ultaks race. I chose them because they have very dense sole, allowing to ignore sand and small stones which may be getting into the shoes. While providing good protection, they are lightweight and compact enough, not to retain much water, from whenever I cross rivers and wet terrain. Bottom line - they worked well!

Recycled Nylon?

Only comment is that it say's your company is gearing up to produce your socks from 100% recycled nylon! So a wool sock company is planning on not using wool in your "smartwool" sock??? I knew the quality had gone down in recent years, but sounds like you are headed down the Land's End road! Cheaper materials and workmanship at the same prices! Have been a customer for 25 years, but will be finding another company in the future, sad, you used to make an amazing product!

I love Smartwool socks!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love Smartwool socks, especially the ones for light hiking. They have a thicker sole that I like when I go for walks. They last a long time and I love the patterns. They are the best merino wool socks I've ever had, and I have tried other brands that are similarly made. I always come back to Smartwool!
