A low volume fit, moisture wicking performance, and a spandex arch brace to hold the sock in place.
Whether your hike is a short Saturday morning getaway or a multi-day go-light excursion, the SmartWool Hiking Light Crew sock cares for your feet every step of the way. The unique SmartWool fiber is the primary comfort component. These fine micron fibers not only have a very soft feel, they also wick moisture rapidly to maintain a dry environment inside the boot. Other comfort features include a flat-knit toe seam to assure a smooth surface against the toes and a ribbed leg cuff offering excellent horizontal stretch for a more comfortable form fit. The SmartWool Hiking Light Crew sock's dedication to foot comfort is further demonstrated by the inclusion of sole area cushioning and a spandex reinforced arch brace that holds the sock in place and supports the foot.

Great Socks
I have two pairs of these socks. Used them on two trips recently. The first trip, to Northern Utah, we hiked over 27 miles in four days and on the second trip, to Southern Idaho, I did a short 6 mile hike. The socks performed well. It was hot on both trips but my feet stayed fairly cool and dry. I wore the socks on multiple days on the 4 day trip with no detectable foot odor. The only problem were a few stray strands on my second pair of socks. They did not seem to get worse with wear though, so not a big problem. I will strongly consider other SmartWool products in the future.

You Can't Go Wrong With These
Smartwool makes the best socks period! They are high quality and durable. Great for summer hikes and just wearing around town in the cooler months. They keep your feet dry when moisture gets in the boot and they don't stretch out and lose their shape. I have them in the grey and the taupe.

simply good socks
I'm hard on socks and have lots of them with holes to prove it. Smart Wools outlast any others I have worn. Good fit, quality and durability. They are even made so that either sock goes on either foot.

Great socks. Did a pretty hard hike for four hours during a hot and humid day and my feet came out of the socks near bone dry. I've used socks that claimed to wick away moisture before, but these were awesome.

Fantastic Socks
After having a rather poor hiking experience with cold wet cotton socks, I knew I needed to upgrade to something more suitable. I picked up these on sale and I am very impressed. A pair of these socks are totally worth the investment as they are comfy, fit perfectly, look great, and certainly hold up better in wet conditions. In addition they do not have that extreme thickness that other wool socks have, so my feet are not hot and sweaty.
