## Description

When you’re hiking hundreds of miles like some of our friends do, you start to become a bit of a “sock aficionado” out of necessity. This humble sock has earned a place in the hearts of many a discerning hiker. Cushioning along the bottom of the foot provide the perfect amount of support while a smooth, performance fit assures there’s no slipping, no bunching, and no blisters. Fine gauge knitting makes this Merino Wool sock a true workhorse that’s supremely comfortable, breathable and fast drying. This “all-weather” sock stays cool in the summer and warm in the winter plus it’s naturally antimicrobial so it repels bacteria and odor—a great feature when you need to get any extra day (or two) out of your socks. Still made in Vermont. Guaranteed for life.

Review: Not cheap but well worth the money - The sock is expensive but it’s the best socks I ever wore. It is thick but it keeps your feet warm and dry. For its thickness, it also does not cause your feet to sweat.

So since your here you have already got over the initial shock of paying this much for a pair of socks. Do yourself a favor and buy one pair.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Where is the information on sizing?**
A: How many times do we (increasingly) find vendors and manufacturers putting their products up on Amazon, but seem to have no clue how to provide the most basic info about the product?  This is one of those cases.  They sell socks and other things, but provide NO SIZE INFORMATION.  On their website you have to waste time hunting for sizing info, only to eventually discover that it's buried in the FAQs.  I-D-I-O-T-S  The quality of vendors on Amazon has grown increasingly low when it comes to product information.

**Q: Is this one pair of socks?**
A: I think I understand the concern.  At least at the moment, the price has a range from $16 - $120.  The alarming $120 price is for a pack of 6 pairs of socks.  I just ordered another single pair and it was $19.00 for the ones I bought.  When going Rim-to-Rim-to-Rim across the Grand Canyon, good socks are worth every penny.

**Q: is this the price for ONE pair?? I love that they're made here, but, that's crazy**
A: These are not for wearing to work.  I use them mainly for rough hiking and for travel when the number of socks matters more than anything else.  3 pairs and I can be on travel indefinitely - even camping/hiking all around the world.  
They are very comfortable and they last.  I've gone through 3 pairs of hiking boots - using the same sets of Darn Tough socks.  That should say enough about their quality.  I don't expect to **ever** buy hiking socks again in my life - and I expect to be hiking 20+ more years.   So ... if you buy new smartwool socks every 2 yrs, it doesn't take long to pay for these much higher quality socks.  

OTOH, if you buy 10 pairs for $5 every 2 yrs, then these might not be the socks you seek.  I have a bunch of those socks - never wear them anymore.

**Q: What are the sizes for large and medium?**
A: Men's Sizing Guide: Small (5.5-7.5), Medium (8-9.5), Large (10-12), X-Large (12.5+)Women's Sizing Guide: Small (4.5-7), Medium (7.5-9.5), Large (10-11.5)

The sock is expensive but it’s the best socks I ever wore. It is thick but it keeps your feet warm and dry. For its thickness, it also does not cause your feet to sweat.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best socks I have ever worn.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My plantar fascitis magically disappeared after 3 days in these socks
*by A***S on 5 January 2017*

I wear a size 17 shoe, and these in XXL fit perfectly. I also have plantar fascitis in my left foot and, unexpectedly, it feels better after 3 days in these socks than it has in years. I have no idea why this is. I immediately noticed the super high quality craftsmanship and material used in these socks. I ordered a few more pair after a few hours in these socks and I plan to phase out all of my other socks and replace them with Darn Tough. I recommend these socks to everyone! No other sock holds a candle to these. I assumed the glowing reviews were somewhat embellished until I put on my first pair. I see why these socks cost as much as they do, and I believe these are a better value than any other sock.
