BEYOND THE FIBER
We make Merino wool more comfortable through innovative fabric creation and smart construction. Through specialized knitting technologies they’ve created fabrics that maximize the benefits of merino wool. They use smart garment construction to create products that offer the right amount of wool in areas where the body tends to chill and less where the body tends to run hot for maximum temperature regulating, comfort and performance.
EASY CARE:
Like you, they would rather be outside playing than inside doing laundry. So they’ve made most of our products easy care; meaning you can throw them in the washer and the dryer right along with the rest of your clothes. Just to be safe, though, always make sure you check the care label inside the garment.
SOME FUN SMARTWOOL FACTS
• One sheep “haircut” = One wool fleece = 10 pounds of wool = 40 pairs of SmartWool socks or 7 pieces of SmartWool Next-to-Skin Midweight
• An average SmartWool Sock has 500,000 individual fibers of wool.
• A standard cone of yarn weighs three pounds and has almost 25 miles of yarn. They use well over half a million cones of yarn a year – that’s enough to circle the earth 500 times. Talk about spinning a yarn.
• Merino sheep are fine boned and active with white wrinkled faces, white legs and pink noses. Rams have horns. They instinctively follow each other but don’t like to lead. All merino sheep are fluent in baah.

Love these socks! Won't run in anything else. Seems like the style has changed a bit over the last few years but they are still amazing. Ran a marathon with these and never got a blister!

Fine socks, although the sole is a little thicker and cushier than some runners would prefer. Regarding flawed questions to follow, these are not shoes.
I'd also recommend: Asics.

Smartwool has made a recent change to this model (Phd Run Lite Mini). It now contains less merino wool than the previous version (54% now, 74% previous). It was immediately noticeable to me when I first put them on. After comparing item descriptions with the old design I confirmed the difference. (There are a few pair of the previous design still out there in limited sizes.) I've been buying this model for the last few years but have to say I don't like the newer design as much. The top of the sock is and feels thinner and slightly more elastic but slightly more abrasive. Perhaps there is more elastic and nylon in that area now. Some may say thats a good thing but for me they're just not as comfortable. The top of my foot can be more sensitive to abrasion than for most and the older version seems to provide a softer, smoother barrier to the upper of the shoe. The new design probably increases profit but in my opinion reduces comfort. Just my 2 cents. Zappos is still the best. I've been a customer for 12+ years. They have earned my loyalty in how they have handled some of my orders and made up for their rare mistakes.
