DANISH ENDURANCE Light Hiking Socks, Light Merino Wool Socks, Anti Blister, Sweat Wicking, Breathable, Men & Women, 3 or 5-Pack

Nov 2018 - Original Purchase Date: Bought pack of 3 in grey. Bought the 6.5 to 8.5 mens even though my size is 9.5. Wanted a snug fit and they fit great with no excess. 1 pair after washing weighs 53g/1.8 oz/Backpacked 3 full days in the mountains and some rain. No issues at all. Good cushion on foot bottoms, heel, and the top of foot. Feet breathed adequately with the nylon stocking-like ventilation areas where padding is not needed. I can't speak for drying time in the field because it was wet and overcast the whole time but they would dry fine in the sun or dry air.They hold up well** 3 Year Update 2021 **These Danish Endurance socks have suffered several hundred miles and many laundry/dryer cycles in the last 3 years and they are holding up very well. The Merino wool is now clearly looking like well worn wool should look.On ~10 to 12 occassions I have worn the same pair for 5 days straight, backpacking 40 to 60 miles in the wet and humid Appalachian & Smoky Mountains and they continue to perform better than I had expected.Quick Dry? Yes, on low humidity days just like anything else. Hanging overnight on a humid night allows them to dry somewhat. Re-wearing the next day is actually not a bad experience at all. These socks don't stink just as Merino wool is advertised.Comfort? I buy smaller sized socks to ensure they don't bunch up in my shoes/boots and that makes them comfortable for me. My feet never get hot in the summer with these.Holes? None in 3 years. If you get holes near your toe nails... trim your toe nails. If you get holes on the pads/heels of your feet... stop walking around the house with them. The elastic around the lower calf has not worn out at all.Smartwool, etc.? Yep, those are great socks. I have a bunch, but I don't hike with them in the warm season. I wear these.These are higher quality than expected socks for a fair price. If you find bad reviews for these socks, oh well. I just bought another pack of these so I have more when my 3 year old socks decide to quit.

Best socks I’ve ever worn. I bought them for some summer hiking around Maine and New Hampshire. I was able to get these same day from Amazon to save the trip (I had ordered others that were cheap and very thick) and was pleasantly surprised at how nice they were. I didn’t even have time to wash them, just threw them in my bag and hopped on my plane. I wore one pair around on a day of mild walking to test them out and was pleasantly surprised at how great they were. The next day was our first hike and I loved them. Kept my feet dry and comfortable all day. Later on the trip we did a waterfall hike on a rainy day, so the fear of blisters was on my mind but they held up and my feet felt great all day. Seriously the best socks I’ve ever put on my feet. I’ll definitely buy more, soon!

When I first got these they were absolutely fantastic out of the bag. Were warm, but light. Super breathable as well. I am on my feet all day and I will wear these all day and they are super dry and still comfortable at the end of the day when I take my shoes off.BUT, they shrink. They were the perfect length when I got them, but shrink in the wash. They also become stiffer, which makes them harder to put on. They are starting to pill a bit. I have washed them about 3-4x. I am not sure that I will get them again, but for their good qualities they still deserve a 4 star review.

I bought these brand new and went hiking with them without testing them. They felt great and I did not get any blisters. They also kept me warm at night. They look good, too! Would recommend.

Great fit, nice colors, good thickness. Soft and they feel warm but dont overheat my feet. My other danish endurance socks are work horses and I believe these will be too. My favorite is the elegant no plastic packaging, so simple, I dont understand why its not mandatory for all businesses! A million stars for just that!

These were what I was looking for, the right weight--they are substantial but you can wear them with tighter-fit shoes, good trick--my only con is that they are short. Shorter than they look in the sale copy. Picture about an inch and a half shorter in life than they look in the ad copy, and you're getting it.

These socks are ok, once they are on your feet. However, they are not very stretchy, so getting them on your feet cab be difficult. These are thin wool socks. I found Tenysaf (50% merino wool) brand was far superiors to these. the Tenysaf socks slide on your feet no problem.

My husband is incredibly picky when it comes to what he puts on his feet. He loves the feel of these and the fit. He wears them for everyday use, hiking, competition days, and work days with his business attire. I’m ordering a second round for him per his request so he can switch out his other sock brands. They are moisture wicking and really do help prevent odors. Based on my incredibly (not picky just knows what he likes) husband, I’d recommend these to anyone looking for great cushioning, everyday wear, and value for what you get.
