Smartwool PhD Run Light Elite Micro Sock - Women's
Scratchy and thin
- Familiarity: I returned this product before using it
I had some socks by Smartwool that looked just like these, but they were soft and comfy not scratchy and rough.

Purchased these when I was training for a half marathon and absolutely love them. Great cushioning that isn't too thick or sweaty. My go-to running socks!

SmartwoolWent back for more!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I picked up two pairs of these and ended up going back for 8 more! The knit is nice and tight - they don't get stretched out with wear, even in a running shoe. I also use them in casual shoes because they are so comfortable. The merino blend wicks moisture away from my feet better than most socks I've tried. And they come in a great color variety!
Karsyn AnsariKarsyn, would you say these socks are good for 3 miles of running? My daughter’s feet sweats and I am looking for the right running socks.
Meiyi S.Wool blend ankle sock
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
- Fit: Runs small
- Size Bought: Large
Runs small. Thin but cool in the summer and warm in the winter due to the wool. I bought the Large as I wear a 10 1/2 woman's but I needed a size Larger.
So I gave them away.

Bought these for my wife. Now she wants 3 more. Washes well, and a small fits her size 5.5-6 shoe size

- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Size Bought: Medium
Ugh, I love Smartwool socks, but these were a huge disappointment. They fall into my shoes within minutes, no matter which shoes I'm wearing. Maybe this pair sized small because the fit of my other SW socks is perfect. I like the thickness and color (pink!), but sadly, this pair is going to the thrift store. :(
Cynthia F.I love these socks
These are the perfect socks. They are comfortable and durable and they stay on my heel!! I ordered one pair at first but I'm definitely going to get more.
Katherine MatsumotoGreat All Around Winter Sock
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: Medium
I bought this sock to wear running, at workout class, and to work (I like things that work in any setting!) I really like this sock - it is soft, comfortable, easy to wear. It is a little bit warm under sneakers on a warmer day, I'd go with something lighter if you're not looking for a winter sock.
Meg KellerHeight:5'6"Weight:120lbsFuzzy fast
- Fit: True to size
When I first put these on, the fit felt incredible! However, within the first wear, fuzz had formed all over the toe and heel of the sock -- BEFORE I had even washed the rocks. Already looking scuzzy within the first wear -- no bueno!
