Great Socks

By Scott Pendleton Ranked #46 - Socks October 30, 2009

In my experience Smartwool socks are worth it. These are warm and cozy and just feel great on my feet, even for a full day of hiking or mountaineering. when combined with sock liners they're fantastic.

I found them true to size, though for socks that's usually pretty easy. I wear a 12(US) and the XL is great.

They have been very durable for a three and a half years of use with almost no wear to date. I have three pair and rotate them, so they do get a pretty light duty cycle. One pair did pill when I forgot to turn it inside out before putting it in the dryer, but it's still very usable and that was my fault. Normal wool sock care still applies: turn them inside out and use gentle wash cycle and avoid the dryer when possible. I line dry these whenever I can.
