Love Smartwool socks, will never go back to cotton socks. I have to try the liner under them...

ENOUGH SAID.
I tried smartwool, and they were OK, but the Darn Toughs destroy them.

But here is a review anyway.

if you're doing anything waterwise, sealskin makes the best water socks for sure.

I used to think that wool would be too hot to wear for summer hiking and would wear cotton instead, but wool is a much better sock material than cotton any day.

I have tried liners, but many times the liners get twisted or other wise uneven, so I have stopped wearing them.

Everyone has a different way of protecting their feet, but two thin wool socks on each foot works for me.

Thats the truth... For all those that like the Smartwool brand...you should all try a pair of Darn Toughs. They really blow the Smartwools out of the water.

I always carry Falke socks. During my hiking through Norway this summer, I did wear Falke TK2 Cool socks. The fit my feet very well and keep them dry.

I wear WrightSock double layer hiking socks. They have a liner attached, wick, don't stink, stay warm when wet, all that.

I actually forded a river & hiked up 1400' in wet boots with a brand new pair of these & absolutely no blisters or foot problems whatever. After that I bought 6 more pairs of them.

costco sells 4 packs of 70% merino wool blend outdoor socks for 12$ or so. great work and play socks at the price of one pair of "name brand".

I use these, too, and they are great socks. I also use some from Thorlos.

I used to use polyester liners under cotton, but these merino socks are so much better.
