Smartwool says:
Our Women's Hike Light Cushion Mid Crew Socks offer a women's-specific fit and bring you enhanced features to maximize comfort and help you get after it at the highest level. We've extended the durability zones to make them cover even more of the sock–offering the same comfort with even more strength. And updated mesh zones help improve breathability without sacrificing the perfect sock fit. Less pressure. More performance. Add these features to a lightly cushioned sock that already provides the highest degree of comfort, fit, and durability, and it's never been easier to go far and feel good.
Our Verdict
The Hike Light Cushion Mid Crew Socks are excellent for hiking and outdoor adventures. Made with a blend of responsibly sourced merino wool, recycled nylon, and a touch of elastane, they provide outstanding breathability, moisture management, and stretch.
A generous merino wool cushion underfoot provides impact protection and premium next-to-skin comfort. The virtually seamless toe box eliminates hot spots and blisters. Additional venting mesh zones allow airflow to prevent overheating. These socks have become my go-to socks for hiking. Soft and incredibly comfortable to wear, they provide not only protection but also moisture-wicking
The key to their performance is Smartwool's Indestructawool technology, which reinforces high-wear areas for enhanced durability on the trail. The 4 Degree Elite fit system locks the socks without bunching or slipping.
