Everyone knows wool is the natural choice for outdoor socks due to its ability to resist moisture and odors (cotton absorbs and holds sweat making the foot sometimes hotter, sometimes colder, but always more sore and stinky). And, I was looking for a new serious hiking sock (I haved tried quite a few but have never really been happy). I previously owned Smartwool Adventurer socks and wore them with different liners. The new Smartwool PhD socks, however, offer a far better fit (but same tough merino wool used by REI, EMS, etc). So good at preventing sock rub and the resulting blisters that liners are not needed. PhD Outdoors are the most snug Smartwool made (compared to old Trekkings) and well suited to any heavy load. They are the most comfortable socks I have ever worn (dear firemen: wool won’t ignite or melt like synthetics). And, they cost less than my old Adventurers. I am very happy. For more less aggessive treks, I like the lighter Smartwool PhD Outdoor Light Crew.

LOVE the comfort and relative warmth/coolness of the sock, but just under my big toe on both sides they are wearing thin. I can see through both hole. They’re good socks, just not that durable. it may have something to do with their attempt to blend as they did with this particular pair.

I have sweaty feet and have tried many different brands. I tried the Xsocks(3differant styles) that cost $40 a pair and claim be the best but fall short of Smartwool .
