Cushion surrounding the entire foot for aggressive backpacking but light enough for day hikes too.
Offering all-purpose, 3-season wear, the Smartwool Men's Hiking Medium Crew Socks are designed for rugged use when you want medium cushion all around your foot. Knit in the USA, this hiking sock is made from high quality, no-itch, no-stink, super soft merino wool with nylon blended in to help it dry faster and a touch of elastane for a snug, stretchy fit. These Smartwool socks use WOW technology for more wool in the high impact areas underfoot and to extend their lifetime. Rising 6 inches above your ankle, this crew sock has a ribbed upper that will hug your calf without squeezing it too tightly and an elasticized arch brace to keep the sock in place. The flat-knit toe seam and side panel eliminate irritation, making these some of the most comfortable wool socks you'll ever wear. From backpacking the Colorado Trail to bushwhacking the Pacific Northwest Trail in Montana, the Smartwool Hiking Medium Crew Socks for men are a classic staple that will keep you hiking happily season after season.

Great socks!!!
I have been wearing SmartWool socks for about 10 years now with no complaints. I wear them to hike in to work in and to run in. These socks are very comfortable and very well made. I'm a size 9.5 and the med. socks fit great. I wear them daily with Asolo boots and that seem so be a near perfect combination! I will say that if you wear them often, the heal area starts to wear after about 3 months or so. I should note, however; that I work mostly in the middle east and I am very hard on my clothes and gear. The few pair I keep at home for daily wear and backpacking, I have had for a couple years and they are still as good as new. These perform well here in the scortching heat and also keep my feet cozy on the train in fall and winter. I highly recommend these socks.

Great everyday sock for winter
My feet are cold during the winter and these Smartwool hiking socks make a real difference in the comfort of my feet. I use them everyday even for an indoor job. Not only do they help to keep my feet warm but they also keep them dry from sweaty feet. On really cold days I will use the heavier version of this sock for some extra warmth. The socks are soft and comfortable to wear. They do develop some pilling after awhile but not too bad. I haven't had any holes in these socks yet after 2 to 3 winters. I have used them for backpacking also. If the weather is hot, the socks are just too heavy, but are great for cool and cold weather. I wear a size 13 shoe and the XL size fit well.

Smartwool never disappoints
Warm, comfortable and long lasting. A medium fits an 8 men's foot perfectly and never sags. Always turn inside out before washing. This prevents the fuzz from forming on the outside. Socks can be put in drier but air dry so quickly that I rarely use the drier. Even though smartwools remain dry and odor-free for days, I will occasionally hand wash and air dry at the end of a day of backpacking.
