great for long term use

By Ian Mangiardi Ranked #26 - Socks May 16, 2009

What I have put this sock through:

hiking 22 miles a day for months on end while only washing it once a week.

I used many types and brands of socks for my Appalachian Trail thru-hike, and this was by far the best. Most socks get hard after a couple days and not being washed, however, these stayed soft for much longer than any other. It is a wool sock, so my feet would get a little hot, but the thin spots on top kept my feet more dry. My boots are also very thick tough boots that don't breathe terribly well (I needed sturdy boots for the winter months) and my foot was still dry. In short, these are the best socks I've ever owned. Not to mention I will never need to buy a new pair as SmartWool has a lifetime guarantee
