Pros & Cons
Pros
They are a bit thicker than my cheapo socks, but not too thick as to need a larger shoe to be comfortable. If you’re battling athletes foot, smartwool is a game changer. One of my all time favorite 1/4 ankle socks.
The merino wool keeps my feet comfortable and dry, and not stinky, even in warm weather. Feet always feel dry and comfortable, never bunch up or crease inside the shoe. Hold up well in washer/dryer.
Smartwool socks are great for running shoes/walking and in hiking boots. They are perfect for trail running and for hiking shoes. They keep your feet cozy cycling during fall and some winter months. Great for business attire or outdoor gear.
Cons
These are very thick, bulky socks. They feel nice and tight at first but have to elasticity. The material is extremely coarse.

At the risk of stating the obvious, do not put them in the dryer.

But don't buy them for the looks because they look well worn after a single trip through the laundry.

My conclusion is the sock industry needs to get together to define terms so we can get back to my attorney's words that: words have meaning.
