FOX RIVERFoxRiver Women's Dry Ultra-Lightweight Crew Liner Coolmax Thin Fabric for Comfort | Breathable | Moisture-Wicking | Boot Sock

These are GREAT sock liners!I'm new to hiking gear and stumbled upon liner socks on amazon.com accidentally while looking for wool hiking socks. Never heard about liners but read the comments and decided to give them a try. I took them on AZ/UT vacation. The socks are incredible! They keep your feet dry and prevent rubbing - no blisters despite new hiking boots and loooong hikes. My girls loved their liners too - including the defiant teenager. My only regret is that I couldn't find such liners for the little feet of my 6 year old.I washed them by hand in the hotel sink every evening and they dried overnight. One night I forgot to wash them and went on without the liners. I really felt the difference! As soft as my merino wool hiking socks are, the liners are nicer and silky against the skin, and since they are so snug there is zero rubbing.The liners are very thin and don't add much thickness. They also look very good - shiny like silk. Nobody sees that but it's nice to know. :-) However, I find them staining easily. Yellow and red canyon dust made it's way through boots and wool socks to the white liners and they were never white again (heel and ball parts only).I'm looking forward to using them in my everyday life. Will buy more but most likely in black this time.Sizing.The small was great for my 6.5 wide feet. I bought same size for my daughter - she is size 5, she wasn't complaining.The medium fit my other daughter's 7.5 feet very well.

We were hiking and these helped my feet

I did a lot of hiking this year, mostly in rocky terrain which is where your feet need the most protection. The liner is not all there is to it. You have to put your feet in quality socks and boots. I changed to Darn Tough socks and Crispi boots this year as well as a custom insole and my feet did very well. I like using liners to provide an extra level of protection and these did good. I will say they are not the best out there and I will have situations where I will do better not using them, but they are still good to have when you need more moisture wicking.

The socks were of good quality and even had a one year guarantee to be free of manufacturing defects. These socks are made in the US according to the label on my socks which generally means better quality. The sock fabric is slick enough to prevent blisters but not obviously so. These socks also wick away moisture very well and keep your feet warm. I actually like these socks better than the ones I bought from a reputable camping supply store since the socks maintain their elasticity after a day of wear and seem to be made of thicker fabric. All in all, these socks are a critical piece of kit since your mobility is controlled by these socks preventing blisters and you must do everything you can to prevent injury to your feet, i.e. use foot powder and change your socks if you detect sweat which lead to blisters. I have found that it is better to prevent blisters with polypropylene liner socks in addition to a normal pair of wool socks worn outside the liner socks since most of the "hot spot" and blister remedies don't seem to work very well. Therefore, if you don't want to become stranded in the woods with severe blisters and/or trench foot then make sure you include a couple of pairs this item with your hiking gear.

I used these in August on a 37 mile through-hike backpacking trip in the North Cascades and they worked very well. For rugged mountain hikes and backpacking, I always bring several pairs of liners, lightweight socks and boot insoles to change out along the way. Powder is a must as well. For this trip, I did about 4 change-outs along the way and didn't get a single blister. Taking care of your feet is the key to an enjoyable excursion no matter what the difficulty level is. These liners are just one piece of a system I use to keep my feet comfortable and blister free on long treks. They fit well and sizing is correct.

I originally bought these as a gift for a friend who works outside a lot, but my son was going hunting and his feet always get too cold so I gave them to him to put on. He's a young teenager so it took coercing but he wore them. I was amazed that they went on his feet so easy - his feet are very wide and it's always difficult getting socks and shoes for him. He wears an 11-1/2 4E shoe, sometimes 5E, and the Large 11-13 Liners went on easily, the heel was in the right place and not up the back of his ankle like some larger socks I buy him.He wore them the first morning and when I asked how they were all he'd say is "they're fine". But the next morning I watched him put them on again sooooooo they had to be worth it :) After the second day hunting he said they definitely kept his feet warm. I know that's not a ton of feedback but for my teen that's the equivalent of jumping up and down with pom poms.So - they keep feet warm, they're true to size; and if you have wide or large feet, the Large is going to fit.The friend I had bought them for wears only a 9-1/2, I had bought Large because other insulated socks came in so small; but now I know I can just order a Medium for him - I'm going to do that now! He has trouble with circulation and his feet and toes are always cold even in the spring and fall; so I think the liners will be helpful to him even then.

Unhappy that these liners had holes tear in the toes after one hike. Other Fox River liners I own have held up much better.

produit conforme aux attentes

Los utilice debajo de unos calcetines de lana en la nieve, funcionaron muy bien manteniendo mis pies secos, sle quité una estrella porque el ajuste de la pantorrilla es muy pequeño.

Estan muy delgados pero se ven de buena calidad. Aún no se usan por lo que no se si aguanten las lavadas. Se los compre a mi papa y le gustaron mucho. El es XL y le quedaron bien. Esta marca siempre es garantía.

Love those, they are soft and thin :)

Very light. Prevents blisters!
