Review on Stay Warm And Comfortable On Your Next Outdoor Adventure With EnerWear'S Merino Wool Hiking Socks - 4 Pack For Women by Richard Gallagher

I like a thick, cushiony sock. I was looking for some replacements for my cotton athletic socks, but unfortunately the company that used to make those socks is now selling a much inferior sock. I found these on ebay and figured I would give them a try. I wore my first set for a week and immediately bought 2 more packs. I've retired my old socks and have been wearing these exclusively for several weeks now.These are perfect socks. They're very soft and cushiony, with some grip around the arch. They handle a range of temperatures very well without getting sweaty. I work in an office that's usually around 72 degrees F, and I go out for half-hour walks during the day in Michigan weather. Since I started wearing these socks, I've repeatedly been out in weather as cold as 20 degrees and as warm as 55, wearing the same tennis shoes I wear indoors. In colder temps my feet have been toasty, and in warmer temps (including indoors) they've been perfectly comfortable; neither overheated nor sweaty. I believe this is the power of Merino wool. :) My cotton socks would get sweaty indoors, but these socks have stayed dry. They've been through the wash several times now with no noticeable pilling, shrinkage, or breakdown of the fabric. I use a gentle cycle with a mild detergent, wash them inside out, tumble dry until they're mostly dry and then flip them to outside-out and dry the rest of the way.I'm not sure how these will do in summer, but so far it seems like they would be fine. Really a great, great sock. Probably the best I've ever worn.
