Merino Wool Micro Crew Socks Cushion

Women's

Really great socks, finally! Smooth woven, non-itchy wool with the perfect give and “foot encapsulation”. Great for casual wear in the and light to medium length hiking in cooler autumnal and early spring weather. For winter in the northeast, these won’t suffice if planning to be outdoors all day — definitely would need to double up with something thicker plus wear a liner sock. However, for casual wear, these are nice. I like to pair these with a silk sock liner. I also like how the band doesn’t slip down but isn’t restrictive in the least bit. Yay for no ankle indentations. These also machine wash well for wool socks. Just use delicate or hand wash. I’ve put them in the dryer and they held up fine but because I like them so much, I tend to hang dry over a heater. They retain their shape really well, too. Lastly, they’re so unique looking and really cute!

I never would have thought that wool socks could be so very comfortable. To be honest, I bought a pair in a store, and when I saw them on Zappos, I just had to have another pair! I used to exclusively wear another brand that were thicker with more padding, but these provide support to my challenged foot, and feel like butter.

Love this pair of socks. They are great for winter weather on the east coast. I previously purchased a pair of these socks and I couldn’t go through the cold winter on the east coast without this pair of socks. I like the cushion the socks have especially since I have a high arch.

Fit and size is true to size… material is wicking and padding is comfortable. The thin top allows my foot to fit into regular shoes as well, for cold winter days. not just for hiking!
