Customer Reviews Smartwool Classic Hike Extra Cushion Crew

Wool socks for the win!

These socks are so warm! This is the second pair I have purchased.

I have worn these every day for at least the past 10 years. Hands down warmest, most comfortable long lasting sock I've ever worn. They are spendy but you get what you pay for.

My husband wears daily

I purchased these socks for my husband. He has poor circulation and we have tried everything from heated socks, heated footed blanket, foot warmer and more. Nothing, I mean nothing was giving him relief. That is until he put on a soft, comfortable pair of Mountaineer Classic socks. His feet aren't cold anymore and he's a very happy man now. Thank you so much Smartwool for giving him relief and comfort.

Great for hiking and for use with work boots. I have to wear steel-toes at work and these socks keep my feet warm, comfortable, and odor free. I have several pairs that have lasted over 5-years. These awesome socks will last for years if you just keep them out of the dryer and away from your dogs ( :

Most comfortable socks for everyday wear that keep feet dry! Really a quality and premium product.

I've only worn them once so I don't know about durability but all day my feet stay warm and dry and I work outside the weather was about 20

These are my favorite smartwool sock style, and favorite thick sock design out of the major companies. I only have older versions of this model to compare it to, and it seems that the older versions had a tighter weave. The new version also had several irregularities before even putting them in the wash (some of the weave had areas that had pulled up). So far they're very comfortable and warm; we'll see how they hold up. I liked these a lot more than the mountaineer version even though that one is thicker because the toe seam on that one did not align well, and the cuff is too tall and tight in one specific spot, versus these have a uniform elastic going up and down the cuff. If you are looking for a specific smartwool thick sock, this is the one I would opt for and between going large or small, I would order a size down if you're in-between. The other tigher-knit thinner versions of their socks are too small in small, but these ones run a little loose.

I have been buying these for years. At first, at a local shoe store, when they sold out, the new people didn't carry them, so I started buying them online. They are comfortable, I get the extra padding, and they really do help. They are warm in the winter and are not too hot in the summer.... perfect. I have bought the red and the blue and love both. Definatley worth the money, they last a very long time, and you don't have to replace them as fast as regular socks, imo.

Comfort & Cushioning The extra padding in the heel, toe, and sole makes an immediate difference. Whether you're walking, hiking, skating, or working all day, the cushioning absorbs impact and reduces foot fatigue. They feel soft and supportive without being bulky.

Very comfortable and warm. Lasts based on my previous purchases. Very pleased with the product.

I love these socks. I also have the longer version, but these are better for my climate as the longer ones definitely keeps me warmer, but my area doesn't normally get cold enough to justify wearing them as often. Winter normally hovers are 40F where I live with spats down below that, so these are the perfect level of foot/leg coverage for the normal temperature for me.

I first purchased these socks back in summer, 2006 while attending a trade show in Freeport. I hit the Bean outlet across from the mothership, and found a pair of these on the clearance rack. From that day on, these became my favorite "warm and comfy" socks. I now have 8 pairs of these socks in varying states of "newness", and I replace 1 or 2 pair every year. Each pair lasts a good 5-6 years - I wear them indoors as slipper-socks, as well as with my hiking boots when I go out for hikes/walks. I highly recommend these. I have never been disappointed with the quality or durability.

I wear these socks in the winter as they are soft and warm. I can't wait to come home from work to put them on!! This is my 8th pair. My first three pairs, which I've had for many years have worn through and I want to mend them somehow because I love them SO MUCH!!! They get softer with age!!

I put on Smartwool socks and my feet were like, oh this is how we're living now? Somehow they keep things warm but not swampy, cozy but not claustrophobic, and they never get that end-of-day "please burn these" smell. I've worn them walking, lounging, traveling, and during those moments when the floor is so cold it feels personaland they show up every time. They're soft, they breathe, they don't sag, and they make all my other socks feel like they were made during a dark time in history. Not a real sheep, surebut if comfort were livestock, these would be prize-winning.

My 94 year old dad has some neuropathy in his feet due to age but is extrememly active...lives alone and walk and drives and goes to parties and sails etc...lots of outside time and these socks keep him steady as if his feet are warm he can feel "em!

I finally had to replace a pair of Smartwool socksand I'm pretty sure they were more than 10 years old. They've been through travel, job sites, countless washes, and everything in between. Honestly, they held up so well that I never even bothered using the warranty. They just refused to wear out. If there's one thing Smartwool gets right, it's durability that quietly proves itself year after year.

Best ever for working in refrigerated environment, durable, comfy and warm! I can go all day acting as a butcher comfortably!

Wow, thick socks that help protect my feet from cold floors. I look forward to wearing these outdoors vs the cold and snow.

Use these for hiking and hunting. Very comfortable and warm. Hope to win the one hundred to get more of these!!!

I've been wearing these socks for 30 years. They keep my feet warm on alpine routes and cold concrete warehouse floors. They wear like iron. Buy a few pairs and rotate them during the week. You may need to upsize boots to accommodate the sock bulk. That's what creates the warmth (trapped air and loose-er boots).

I first bought Smart Wool hiking socks for a trip to hike the Inca Trail back in 2004 and they were awesome! Ever since then I have used them for the majority of trips I take (I travel a lot) as well as for work socks. Generally, if I am wearing socks, they are Smart Wool socks. I highly recommend them.

My favorite winter socks.

These are my go-to for around the house everyday socks, especially in the colder months. Very comfortable and thick.
