I tested these socks found I love them and am now faced with the idea of replacing all in the drawer, many new. I don't know about wicking but my feet are not wet at the end of the day. The comforting thing for me is the combination of crew and a type of compression sock. They pull up to mid calf and have a very comfortable compression and no pinching at the top that my other sock have done. I recommend you try a pack.
