Product Description

Product Description
SmartWool was founded in New Zealand. A group of Ski instructors were bothered with cold feet while being on the slopes for hours. Through research they learned that the New Zealand Merino was soft, strong and white. As a result, SmartWool was in business. The Merino wool keeps your feet warm in cold weather and cool in warm weather. And, these socks will not allow odor bacteria to build up in the fibers. These socks are wonderful for anyone who is active such as skiers, firefighters, professional athletes, hikers, runners, cyclists and climbers. The Ski Light Sock is very popular. And for those days that you need to be in the office - you can also enjoy the dress slack socks that are available.

SmartWool Hiking Medium Crew sock is a 1996 winner of Backpacker Magazine's Editors' Choice Award.

These socks are worth every penny. Comfort and warmth without wool itch or sweating. I gave these socks as stocking stuffers to all my family members and now they are all hooked.

5.0 out of 5 stars best socks ever, January 11, 2009

By	Lawrence Fanning "blue pup" (indianapolis) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I would not have believed it if I had been told that socks could make such a difference in walking several miles, boots seem to fit better, and no foot rubbing or chafe, no blisters , AND , they dry overnight, AND there is no odor even after 2 days of wear, 3 maybe if it is not too hot. Great for at home in cold climates also.

5.0 out of 5 stars good socks, November 14, 2008

By	Daktoid Luhr (Tallahassee, FL United States) - See all my reviews

I always get smartwools, they are the best, almost like slippers. I hike for a living so I know, try 2 pairs (not of the super thick ones) at once its even better. I suppose there are other wool/synthetic blends out there, maybe as good. But thick blended socks are the way to go for hikers and bootwearers in general. Also nice for cold days around the house with no shoes.
