Customer Reviews Smartwool Walk Light Mini

Great for warmer weather. They keep your feet the perfect temperature and no stinky feet even after a long day running around!

I've always loved these socks especially when they came in a variety of colors years ago. They are my go to socks for exercise but white and black are so boring and don't match with my outfits, I like to coordinate :) . The older ones also were softer and had more wool content, shame that they aren't as woolly. Is there any intent to have more colors in the future? Lighter colors would be great, like pink, blue, yellow or green. Thanks!!!

These socks are the best! Perfect fit, soft fabric, cushion on the bottom. I ordered another pair. I have small feet and have a hard time buying socks that fit. These are great! Highly recommended!

I discovered Smartwool socks several years ago, these like the others, are wonderful. I wear them summer & winter, you just can't beat them. Yes, they're more expensive than cotton but they BREATH, and you can throw them in the washer and dryer, no shrinking ! They also wear really well, I have my original pair from 3 years ago. I have converted my husband as well :)

I hesitated buying this after seeing reviewer note change in Merino Wool % from 72 to xx. [Love Smartwool socks -- only store bought socks I wear regularly. Happy to see these back in the line up, but not pleased that they've reduced the wool content. Previous version had 72% wool, 26% nylon, 2% elastane. Current Version cuts the wool to 60% Was 5 star, dropped to 3]. Well, I got anyway and while I do like, will completely agree that the slight decrease in wool content made a difference in fit, comfort, quality, to me. Not as soft or lofty as previous. I see a listing for a new offering of light thin.... at 67%merino and think will try those.

Not enough padding. Do not protect feet from shoes like previous versions. Definitely not enough padding for hiking. I have 2 pairs of a previous medium to heavy weight that I saved specifically for hiking. Better top, too.

I've worn these for years and still do. I have two issues regarding the latest version. First, why the decrease in the amount of wool??? They went from 72% to 60%? The previous ones were a bit softer, I'm assuming that has something to do with it. Second, please make these in different colors. I don't wear the black ones so whit is my only option. I have older ones that came in a natural color which I really liked but I can't even get those anymore. Like a pink or a light blue would be great!!!

Ankle-high black socks are hard to find. The ones I've been using are cotton, so they don't work well for wet weather. But these are great. If you have waterproof sneakers or sneakerboots that's the way to go. I would rather not have that white logo on the back of the cuff. I understand they need to promote themselves but they are not paying me to do it - I'm paying them... But whatever... The other thing is - with Smartwool I ended up getting one size up, just like with their classic rib socks. I usually wear 11.5 sneakers and boots (because my feet are wide, otherwise it would be 10.5) and I have to order XL in these socks (12-14.5), the L feels too tight.

They are ok but I would like thesocks to be thicker on the soles and heels for more cushioning like the ones I bought several years ago.

These socks are very well made and breath very well, keeping your feet warm and dry in winter, and cool and dry in summer. No more icky damp socks! But as I stated, you will need to get one size larger than you usually wear. And even with that you may have to stretch the ankle part around a larger object so that they aren't restricting blood circulation

These are very nice socks and I'm sure most people love them, but they are not for me. The band around the ankle cuts off my circulation. If I could return them, I would.

Not soft like the ones I purchased several years ago and finally wore out. Good fit, but rough texture. Hopefully they'll soften with age.

The new ones just aren't as soft and comfortable as the older versions. More color options and more wool content would be great.

I wear this sock and the PHD Run all the time, every day except when backpacking or skiing. I just like a pure white sock to prevent black lint in my toes. I work from home so I'm in these 24 hours a day. I'm really frustrated about the durability. I redid my sock collection and bought 14 pairs split between these and the Run PHD. I'm down to half the pairs as the rest had holes. I calculate these socks last on average 20 wears. I feel that is suboptimal for wool socks from Smartwool. Trouble is, I'm really having a hard time finding completely white wool socks elsewhere. I have a few different brands on order now and am going to shop around. YMMV.

These socks are cut small. The next size up was out of stock, so I took a chance on the smaller ones. They are a little too snug and despite gentle washing in a mesh bag, I believe that they shrunk.

The new version of this socks aren't as good as the older version. The new ones have less wool and aren't nearly as comfortable. More color option would be nice as well.

they say they fit up to size 11 1/2 but they are much too small and hurt my feet

they are great nice and lite very good thanks

Love them very unique

So I was buying cheap socks for my son and they kept getting holes in them, so I decided to give these a try--seems less wasteful to have good socks than to keep throwing socks in the trash. So far, so good. They are comfortable and keep his feet dry--much less stinky feet!

comfy, washes well

Comfy & durable

These socks are so comfortable for every day running around (not actual running).

I wanted white Smart Wood ankle socks so other colors didn't compete with my purple sneakers! And you had them.
