X-Socks Light Trekking Sock - Women's - 2007 BCS

Ok, so I put these socks on before my 14 mile one-way 6000 vertical feet hike down the Grand Canyon and wondered "what can be so special?". Well, I'm here to tell you that this is the best hiking sock ever!! When I got to the bottom of the canyon, my body hurt inexplainably bad, but my feet didn't hurt at all! Not the arch, not my heel, nothing! And not one hot spot or blister the whole trip down and up. I washed them out in the river when I got to the bottom and they dried super fast and looked like I just bought them. The best part is that they never ever smelled in three whole days (my clothes are a different story). The worst part is that I carried two other pairs all the way down then back up and never even unfolded them. Too bad for the extra weight in my pack. I was the ONLY person in my group to not get one blister or foot pain of any kind. Seriously, these socks are truly magical. No liner needed with these puppies and don't bother bringing any other pairs of socks for your trip, waste of space and weight!

Just spent 3 days on the trail, and these were the only socks I brought with me. They did get wet during the day from sweat, but no blisters, very comfortable, and dried in 10 minutes in the sun. With these socks, I wouldn't wear a liner sock. These did the job on their own.

I've had these for months and they are holding up great. My feet are narrow, these fit like a glove. They wick well. I like to wear them with lighter shoes like my road running shoes. If I'm grabbing socks to just wear around, these aren't the ones because they don't have that loose & snuggly sit by the t.v. feel. They're my performance socks for when I'm active and I don't want my socks full of sweat or bunching up.
