Merino Wool Crew Hiking Sock - Moisture Wicking

Comfort, Performance, and Magic – All in One Sock!As an avid hiker, I’ve tried my fair share of socks. But let me tell you, the Minus33 Merino Wool 903 Day Hiker Sock is a game-changer!1. Nature’s Technology at Your FeetMinus33 calls it “Nature’s Technology,” and they’re not kidding. It’s like they sprinkled a dash of wizardry into these socks. Here’s why they’re practically magical:Wicks Moisture: These socks regulate body temperature like a pro. No more sweaty feet ruining your hiking vibes!Odor Resistant: Say goodbye to stinky sock syndrome. Seriously, these socks stay fresh even after a long day on the trail.Naturally Elastic: They hug your feet without feeling tight. Perfect for those steep ascents!Sun Protection: With a 25+ UPF rating, your feet are shielded from harmful rays.Eco-Friendly: Fully biodegradable and made from 100% renewable Merino Wool. Mother Earth approves!2. Aesthetics That PopThe Men’s Chocorua Midweight Crew top and Kancamagus Midweight Bottom come in a sleek navy blue, but you’ve got options – six other colors and even a “Mossy Oak Break-Up Infinity” (think woodsy camo). Ladies, the Franconia Women’s Midweight Bottom and Ossipee Women’s Midweight Crew top in Violet (more like a deep pinky-purple) are impeccably constructed. I felt guilty getting mine dirty – that’s how high-quality they are!3. Fit for AdventureBecause these are base layers, they cling close without feeling restrictive. The seamless toe in the Merino Day Hiker Sock is a blister’s worst enemy. And guess what? They survived gnarly trails and multiple wash cycles without a complaint.In summary, the Minus33 Merino Wool 903 Day Hiker Sock is like slipping your feet into a cozy cloud of performance and style. Whether you’re conquering peaks or just strolling through the woods, these socks have your back (or should I say, your feet?). So go ahead, sock it to the trails!

Size 10.5 Shoe, large fits perfect. These socks are awesome, really awesome. Very similar to the Smartwool hiker medium crew in fit and feel but these are 85% merino wool whereas Smartwool current hiker medium crew is only 66% (and slightly cheaper). So what does this higher content of wool mean in a sock/garment?1: I think Merino wool is warmer than acrylic / synthetic.2: Wool is renewable and also bits and pieces don't live in our oceans and waterways forever with each wash like synthetics. Search 'fleece particles in ocean water'.3: They do regulate the temperature of your feet better. I can wear these all day in a 68°F house but acrylic or cotton socks of similar weight I am taking them on and off.4: Yet not least. You can wear them 3-4+ times without washing them. I joke not. Wool has antimicrobial properties that kill odors and bacteria. That's why sheep don't stink like crazy. However acrylic and synthetic (as well as cotton) are prime surfaces for bacteria to grow. Very similar to the wood vs plastic cutting board. search "UC-Davis cutting board research". I have 100% merino wool long sleeve base layer shirts from Minus33 and have wore them for a week (showered daily) went out hiking, biking, sleeping and never taking them off basically and had them to my GF say "does this smell fine" her response "yes, doesn't smell at all". If you live where it gets below freezing or your feet get cold in the cooler months around the house get you a pair of these your feet will be happy.5. The only downside is they may take a little bit longer to fully dry than acrylic as acrylic holds a slightly lower percentage of water than acrylic. Dry times aren't even in the same realm as cotton though, not even close. If you know you will be hiking multi days in really wet conditions you might consider a pair of acrylic for this reason as they might dry over night a little more.Also for what its worth my mother claimed wool made her itch like crazy. I gave her a pair of these for christmas and she wears them all the time.

I have only become a wool sock afficianado recently and have purchased 3 different brands on Amazon - all of which I love! I wore all of my other ones for about a month before I decided to get a couple of more pairs. I selected these just to have another sample of a different style and brand.Holy cow! These define awesomeness! Very thick, very soft, very luxurious. I will not ever buy another brand, in fact, I will go ahead and order several more pairs after I finish writing this just in case they somehow disappear from Amazon.I highly recommend these for everyday wear, no matter the climate. I live on the Gulf Coast and they keep my feet both warm and cool (I know that sounds strange, but it is true). They also keep your feet very dry by moisture wicking. And are they ever comfortable!I wear a size 12 or 13 shoe and I ordered the XL. They are a perfect fit.I washed them once when they arrived and wore them - no itchiness or scratchiness at all! Absolutely incredible footwear! Try a pair and see. You will not be disappointed!

Very good and warm socks. The same level as Icebreaker Expedition.

Es la primera vez que uso calcetines de lana merino,y la verdad que esos no aguantaron ni dos meses,no se si igual con otras marcas, los compre siguiendo los votos positivos, no fue buena experiencia

Los calcetines están bastante buenos, de muy buena calidad. Al principio cuando los ví pensé que estaban demasiado grandes y no me iban a quedar pero ya al momento de probarmelos si me quedaron bien. Yo calzo del 11 US y pedí los Large. Están bastante cómodos y cálidos. Yo los usé para acampar a Cero grados C con unas botas y no sentí frío en ningún momento.

Le compré un par a mi hermano, a quien le gusta salir de acampada a lugares fríos, y le encantan. Desde que se los regalé, son una pieza esencial del viaje. Son muy gruesos y calentitos (quizás no queden si los zapatos quedan muy justos, o aprieten), y, a pesar de ser de lana (o supongo que se debe a que es lana de merino) son suaves y cómodos. Definitivamente los recomiendo para cualquier persona que no desee pasar frío en los pies.

GREAT SOCK,WARM AND COMFORTABLE.I LOVE THESE SOCKS FOR OUR COLD NOVA SCOTIA WINTERS.
