Men's Trekking Heavy Crew Socks

I used these for years then tried Yuedge (made for tiny feet) and Danish Endurance (not much merino in them really) to save a few pounds, but it was a false economy. Once I got another pair of Smartwool, I could see there was no comparison and my feet are kept at a nice temperature year round, no smells or noticeable sweat and just so very very comfortable. I you are buying Merino socks, always check the actual content of merino wool, as many have only 50% or less and the rest is synthetic garbage. I bought the Smartwool heavy hiking socks and also the Smartwool Indestructawool versions for work in steel toe boots and they rock. Yes, very expensive, so I bought two pairs every payday this year and binned all my other socks at the end. Your feet are worth it. (Yuedge LMAO at those plasticky socks...you know they pay ppl for good reviews right!)

These socks are top quality and provide great warmth and comfort when out hiking. Even when my boots failed and let in a tonne of water they kept everything warmer than expected. NO BLISTERS either which has been a great bonus.If you have size UK8 feet, order the Medium size instead of the size chart suggested Large - if you do order large you will have to try your best to shrink them, which I have actually found quite difficult - Another bonus!

Been a Bridgedale wearer for years. Not anymore! Love these socks. Soft, airy, warm, dry. No more sweaty feet, which is great because the sweat gets cold and then so do my feet. Not cheap but so far feels worth the ££. Took a star of for durability. They develop pulls really easily. Doesn’t affect the function but should be mentioned.

Socks arrived very quickly, feel great in walking boots except badly finished off inside so if the end of the yarn is in wrong place then rubbing occurs so extremely uncomfortable, in fact one pair so bad I won’t wear and haven’t tried all of them. If these socks were finished correctly they would be fantastic - ok for little dog walk but wouldn’t go miles - sad as they are great socks.

I have 4 pairs of these (2 heavy and 2 medium) and rotate them. No signs of wear on any. They are extremely comfortable, and do not shrink in the wash. My type of sock all round. Will ask for more for Christmas. Maybe they'll do some darker shades...

But be warned they come up very large. My husband takes a size 11 shoe but the XL is far too big. Unfortunately packaging ripped on opening so can’t exchange so an expensive error. But they are indeed fabulous socks. Very comfortable and durable. I hope they shrink though (but they are such good quality I am sure they won’t!)

I was expecting fluffy soft socks like Darn Tough make, but instead these socks have coarse loops of wool inside which make an abrasive texture on the sole of your foot at the start before they wear in. A couple of hours walking in these and I really noticed the extra soreness on my skin. Rather disappointed with these. I want to return them but don't feel I can, having properly worn them for a day.

I have a selection of this brand, and all are good !I get, on average, 4 years wear out of a pair, and that’s all day mixed use.Highly recommended !
