Won't stay up!
- 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. :(
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.
Great 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.
PhD Run Light Elite Micro Sock
- Familiarity:I've put it through the wringer
- Fit:True to size
- Size Bought: Medium
These are my favorite running socks! I'm admittedly a bit of a merino wool fanatic, but only because I'm convinced that it is the best natural fiber in terms of texture, superior temperature regulation, durability, and odor resistance. This sock matches up on all fronts. They are super soft, do not get smelly after any length of run, wick sweat away from my feet, and don't wear through as quickly as my cotton running socks.
My street shoe size is between 8.5 and 9.0, and the mediums fit perfectly.
Fuzzy 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!
