Bought these in a size extra large for my son who wears 17 shoes. He loves them. He is on his feet most of the day on hard surfaces as a store manager.

Great merino sock for long days on the trail backpacking or day hikes, I use mine for just about anything and everything - I like the fit a bit more than what Darn Tuff offers, but I may be a bit biased. I'd highly recommend.

One of the most solid socks on the market. I've used mine under my winter boots and hiking around in the Utah desert, and they'e help up in both!

Great for hiking or daily use. The Merino wool construction will wick all moisture from your foot. The fit is fantastic with a touch of added padding.

Great socks
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
I used these socks for backpacking, and was very impressed. I like my socks a bit on the thinner side typically, and was a bit worried about the cushion in these, but the strategic cushioning felt comfortable instead of bulky!

Smartwool keeping feet dry like usual
- Familiarity:
- I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I bought these for my boyfriend. He really loves them. As always, wool seems to be the best if you want to stay warm in the cold, while still wicking away that moisture. These socks are comfortable, they have extra cushion in high pressure areas. They are good for everyday wear or if you are planning on going for a hike. They fit true to size. They seem to slip a little bit when they aren't in shoes, but not enough where it becomes a problem.

Important Socks!
- Familiarity:
- I've put it through the wringer
Socks are one of the most severely important parts of any activity but often times the most overlooked. These socks are another example of Smartwool's awesome durability, comfort, and breathability in a fantastic sock. I use this sock for everything from cold weather cruising the city to warm weather hiking, and granted the sock gods don't make it disappear in the laundry like many of my socks do I'll likely have this sock for years to come. Thanks, Smartwool.

I just to want the true size. IMy shoe size is 71/2, 255mm and it is very thin. It looks like M size on the size chart, but if you read the review, I wonder if size S is the right size. Let me know please.
