Icebreaker Merino Men's Hike+ Medium Cushion Merino Wool Crew Socks

These socks have changed my life. I never knew I could have feelings so strong toward socks. I never thought that buying a second pair of Icebreaker socks would make me almost feel bad, like I was cheating on my first pair of Icebreakers, as though I were telling the original pair that they weren't enough for me even though that's really not it, I just wanted to give them a break because they've done so much for me.You've gotta understand, I am a VERY CHEAP PERSON. It's legendary throughout my immediate tri-state area. You have to coerce me under the threat of harm to small puppies to buy anything other than a six-pack of white Hanes tube socks from the dollar store, and even then I'll still haggle at the counter. A $15 pair of socks has never been my scene.You also have to understand that even after a normal day NOT camping, my feet will still emit a smell that will outlast religion. Entire flocks of birds will fall from the warm embrace of a forgiving sky, becoming a heap of mangled feathers and anguished twitching on the sidewalk the second I kick off my shoes at the end of the day. My roommate will literally lock herself in her room for 20 minutes when I get home, just to let everything air out. And yet, when I switched to Icebreakers for my daily wear, all that went away. I have hiked for DAYS in these things with no noticeable build-up of smell. At this point I'm actually a little worried, because if I ever do end up injured in a bad spot in back-country hiking, my plan has always just been to take my shoes off and let rescuers follow the pungent odor of a life well lived to find my location. What am I supposed to do now? GPS? Nah, I'm a goner. These socks may just get me killed.That said, thank you, Icebreaker, for both making my home life more comfortable, and allowing me the chance to consistently gross people out by making them guess for how many days straight I've been wearing the same pair of socks. Honestly, it just never gets old. Like these socks.

An excellent sock. Wears well. My only criticism is the elastic is a bit too strong. Weaker would be better.

Awesome. Have lasted a long time.

GREAT DEAL THANKS

I can’t recommend these socks. I made the mistake of ordering a few medium weight and one heavy based on the quality of their base layer and tech wool s/s.The quality of the sock is good but it does shed. Unfortunately, they don’t dissipate sweat quickly. In my Salomon Mid GTX the socks either sweat out or too much moisture causing friction and blisters.I hiked several times in these, Darn Tough and Danish Endurance hiking socks this summer (2018). Hands down Darn Tough but bang for buck would be Danish Endurance.Great sock but not for hiking

comfortable, odour free, and very enjoyable to use.however signs of wear occurring after only a few days use.will they last?

Not too long (so no good if you like your socks over your trousers), not too short either. Saving them for the cold weather, so not yet worn, but I have other, lighter pairs which are first class. I'm a big Icebreaker fan and favour them for most of my walking gear.

Quick delivery. Packaged well. Felt soft. Purchased as a gift so can’t really comment further.

Very comfortable, will buy more of this. No itchy feel, no nothing, very good!

Comfortable, warm. Got these for my husband to wear on a trek in Nepal, and they worked perfectly with the Bridgedale Coolmax Liners underneath.
