good sock
good sock, I'd buy it again
Excellent socks!
I wear these socks on all of my runs. They have greatly helped with my blisters and irritated skin. I intend to buy more in the near future.
big disappointment
Have worn the Smartwool Adrenaline light hiking socks for years and have always found them to be comfortable and long-lived, but these new PhD socks have proven to be a big disappointment: lots and lots of piling and shedding; notable degradation in fit, comfort and appearance, even after the very first wearing; difficult to care for in the field; abrasion-prone and hot spot-inducing; quick wear-through in high abrasion areas. Mine have holes in the Achilles and ball after only 100 miles of ultralight backpacking use of the sort that the old Adrenaline socks handled with nary a complaint. My sense is that Smartwool may not have sufficiently wear-tested the new PhD formula, which may have too high a ratio of wool to synthetic to offer performance comparable to the Adrenaline series.
