I'm a big fan of merino wool, so having a dress sock option that's also merino wool is pretty stinkin' awesome. Dependable temperature regulation and moisture management paired with timeless, work-appropriate style. Can't complain there! These do fall down a little, so they're better suited for ankle boots or Blundstones (at the highest in terms of shaft height).

Very warm and comfortable. Great buy!

I love smart wool products. Have worn them all winter and although they may look rough they are still have a lot of wear left in them

I have been a huge fan of smart wool for years and always will be if the quality remains the same!These socks are thin but still provide enough warmth for chilly and rainy days. Every pair I've had has lasted at least a year and a half of lots of wear before anything starts to fray or anything.

I have a 9-9.5 foot and purchase the mediums everytime

Wonderful socks. Great to have a merino option like this. As you can imagine they will fall down if you have larger calves, so I have this problem, but sometimes you need a taller sock with a taller boot, or just for warmth in the winter. The Smartwool Over the Calf sock is more my preference, but these are a little thinner, so I still wear them sometimes.

It's hard to go wrong with giving this as a gift. I know, I know. It sounds like a cop-out; givings socks as a gift. But when you give someone the gift of Merino Wool, you're giving them quality, comfort, and the softest sock to ever grace their foot. That's what this is. Comfort from ankle to toe.

And the moisture wicking and breathability of this sock make it great for all sorts of activities without being too bulky.

I bought the first pair of these socks for my wife a few years ago - since then they have become a favorite of hers and she now has several other pairs. Regardless of her planned activity, she wears them daily. The originals are still alive and kicking - they have proven extremely durable even though she frequently wears them around the house without shoes.

They're comfortable without being too hot or sweaty.

I bought a couple SmartWool socks right before the Minnesota winter and they were miracle workers! My toes stayed nice and toasty throughout the frigid winter days.

These are great! I have several pairs in different varieties and I love them all. These are great because they are lightweight enough to wear with "normal" shoes (ie; not the hiking shoes I'd rather always be in) and still keep you super warm. I also like the length because I can fold them over onto leggings; they aren't way too long and bulky or too short.

I bought myself a pair of smartwool socks for christmas this year. They seem to not as wear as bad as my other socks, like holes in the toes and so on. Very comfy yet casual!

These are pretty much the only pairs of socks I wear everyday, summer or winter. I love wool, a good kind that is not scratchy. One star off for durability - I wish they lasted longer; the toes and heels thin out fairly quickly, granted that I live in Manhattan where we walk a lot. I would recommend air drying them - they shrink in the dryer.

I bought these for my sister as a Christmas present and she has nothing but good things to say! She wears them for casual city-wear and they keep her feet nice and toasty in the DC winter! She is a size 8 and says the medium is perfect! Great present!

Just picked up a pair of these and I'm loving them. Soft, comfortable, and you can't beat merino wool over cotton. Plus I love that I can have super soft wool socks that still look classy.

I wear a 7.5/8 and ordered the Medium.

As always, I hang dry wool, so I haven't tested to see how these hold up to the dryer, I'd rather not risk it.

I've worn nothing but SmartWool cable crew socks for the past 3 years. They are the perfect weight for everyday wear through Fall, Winter, and Spring. I wear them everyday with my leather boots and they keep my feet comfortable all day long. They are very durable and it's amazing how the socks resist odors. If you're looking for a thick, cushy sock- keep looking. These are thin, lightweight 'dress' socks. With regard to scratchiness that other reviewers have mentioned, I don't feel any. I wear an 8.5 to 9 shoe, and I order a medium and they fit me perfect. With that said, I will second the reviewer who mentioned these socks do pill, and if you have cats that shed (like me), the socks seem to attract the fur. Nothing major. I just use a sweater comb and go over the socks when I think of it. Overall, these are great socks and I will continue to buy them.

I love smart wool socks. They're comfortable, not itchy and they last a long time. I'm not sure what else I could ask for.

I used to have cold toes all winter long. Then I started wearing SmartWool socks. The best part is my feet don't overheat either. I no longer wear any other types of socks.
These are the ones that I wear on a daily basis in the office. I just love them!

This gets mentioned more often in the reviews of the men's version of the sock, so let me bring it up here:If your feet sweat at all, wool is the way to go. I think what happens with cotton is that they make your feet warm, so your feet sweat--bam, now you have wet socks and cold feet.I couldn't believe until I tried these how uncomfortably clammy my feet feel even on mild days in cotton socks. I switched over to wearing these exclusively and you definitely owe it to yourself to give them a try.
What I haven't seen in any other reviews--so take it with a grain of salt--is that these run small. In fact, several of the other smartwool socks I've tried too. I'm a 9 in running shoes so even smaller in dress shoes but I'm definitely better off with the large size. It's not a matter of shrinkage with washing because the larges fit great right out of the box. They're flexible so a smaller size works, but the toes are less roomy and the reinforced part of the heel doesn't reach high enough so they wear a little faster.

these are a little scratchy but not enough to bother me. i overheat easily and these are thin and keep my feet warm. i also love the solid colors. and by that i mean the black pair.

I got these as a gift for my older Mom, whos feet are always cold. She loves them so much she wants me to get her some more.
