Smartwool Men's Hiking Medium Crew Socks
A superb general hiking or backpacking sock, the SmartWool Hiking Medium Crew sock has ample cushioning for extended trips but is not so bulky that it's out of the question for day hikes. Looking beyond the cushioning, the SmartWool fibers play a major role in the comfort experience. These fibers are extremely small, with a diameter much smaller than a human hair. This makes for a very soft sock, a feeling that is very inviting to the feet the moment you slip them on. The SmartWool fibers also move moisture at a phenomenal rate, wicking away perspiration vapor before it has a chance to turn to a liquid. Another important comfort advantage of the SmartWool Hiking Medium Crew sock is the supportive arch brace. This brace feels much like a terry cloth wristband, wrapping around the mid-foot area to hold the sock in place and support the foot.
- Fabric content: 70% wool, 29% nylon, 1% spandex
- Medium full cushioning surrounds foot
- 3 x 1 rib knit leg cuff provides excellent horizontal stretch and form fit
- Arch brace knit with spandex to hold sock in place and support foot
- Flat-knit toe seam and side panel
- Crew height: 6 inch rise above ankle

awesome socks!!
Wonderful socks!! My husband wears them early in the morning outside and loves the warmth. The wicking is an added bonus.

the best
i wear these all the time, work, play, hiking, whatever. They are super durable and last years. They wick great and never smell, plus they stay cool in the summer and warm in the winter. There is a lighter weight and a heavier weight sock in the same style available but these medium weight socks are the best of both worlds - not too thick, not too thin.

Excellent socks
Just got back from a 50 mile backpacking trip; first time I've used these socks and I'm very pleased with them. Started the trip w/ the socks and some sock liners but soon dropped the liners because these socks are good enough on their own. Excellent support and cushioning and they did a great job of keeping my feet comfortable mile after mile. A must have for all future trips!
