SmartWool Men's Hiking Ultra Light Mini

After dismissing this sock as sub-par, I have a new found appreciation of them. They are not a great hiking sock, but they are pretty decent for running and cycling. I have own this sock for more than a year. On my first backpacking trip with it, I wrote it off as a bad purchase. The reason for this was the low cut did not work well with a light hiker (like my Merrell Moab Ventilator pictured here). Shortly into a hike, especially in wet conditions, the top of the sock is below the back of the shoe,… Full review

Salomon XA Trail Pro Running Socks

The second most important piece of running equipment. So, who writes a review about socks? You can get them anywhere—drugstores, Target, even gas stations will have a pair that will likely fit your feat. So what's the big deal?  The big deal is next to your shoes, socks will affect your running. A bad sock will give you blisters, let ticks attack your ankles, or allow your friends to ridicule you. Socks are IMPORTANT MAN! That said, these socks are fantastic! No pinching, no rubbing of the top… Full review

SmartWool PhD Run Medium Mini Sock

SmartWool's PhD Run (medium cushion) is hands down the best hiking sock I have ever used. After 100+ miles on the same pair, there is virtually no signs of wear or pilling. I've purchased SmartWool socks in the past and was not that impressed. They haven't held up any better than cheaper brands. For this reason, I had begun to believe that SmartWool was one of those companies that had once earned its reputation and then faded into fashion-oriented mediocrity. However, the moment I tried on the PhD… Full review

WrightSock CoolMesh II Quarter Sock

Lightweight, dries fast, durable, comfortable, BLISTER FREE! Wrightsocks are an interesting concept: marry a liner sock and an outer sock in one piece, lighter than the full combo, but still providing the moisture control and friction reduction of the standard pairing.  I'm happy to say it works like a charm! I took a chance on these socks last summer. I bought two pair for a 100-mile section hike on the Pacific Crest Trail in Oregon. I normally wear your standard light poly liner/heavy cushioned… Full review

SmartWool Men's Hiking Ultra Light Mini

Not worth the money. I picked up two pairs of these for cheap, and if it didn't cost more than they are worth to send them back, I probably would. First, I'll have to admit I didn't plan on using them for hiking. I want taller socks for hiking anyways. These were just to be casual wool socks. I LOVE SmartWool PhD running and outdoor socks (light mini and light micro are amazing), but these are thick, hot, and not tightly woven like the PhD. Much much hotter, cause my feet to sweat, even in the cold,… Full review

Injinji Performance Crew Sock

Used as a liner sock with a pair of mid-weight merino wool hikers, I found the Injinji Performance Crew to be exactly what I need for blister free hiking/backpacking. While not the most durable socks, I am pleased enough with them to have purchased a second pair. Conditions of Testing: My Injinji Performance Crew Socks were used as liner socks with a pair of SmartWool PhD Run Medium Mini Socks on an 6-day, 85-mile hike along the River-to-River Trail in Shawnee National Forest in early April 2014.

Polyester fleece breathes and wicks moisture away from skin Two-way stretch and flatlock… Full review

WrightSock Coolmesh II Crew Sock

A blister-free guarantee that I have tested and found to be true. It seems like the minute I let my guard down and forget to wear decent socks or stop to dry my feet I will earn a stern reminder from my heel in the form of a blister. In the same way that each new summer earns me that first sunburn each hiking season gets me, if I am not careful, a new blister. After my gentle reminder I usually resort back to wearing a light liner sock under my normal hiking socks and this works but Wrightsock has… Full review

Darn Tough Merino Boot Sock Full Cushion

Lifetime socks. I was given a pair of Darn Tough Hike/Trek socks about five years ago with the purchase of a pair of Zamberlan 760 Steep hiking boots and I've never looked back. They are the only socks I wear for anything — period. From the label I see they are made of 69% Merino Wool, 27% Nylon, and 4% Lycra Spandex. On the back of the package is says Unconditional Lifetime Guarantee.  "If you can wear these socks out, we'll replace them. Free of charge. No questions asked. For life. When you're… Full review
