Customer Reviews Smartwool Classic Mountaineer Maximum Cushion Crew

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!

Only purchase Smartwool socks. They are very comfortable and have good cushion. Super warm in very cold climate.

I wear these socks everyday. I have plantar fasciitis and the extra cushion is great.

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.

Perfect!

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.

Bottom of feet are thinning. Adds cushioning

My husband's feet had been cold his whole life until I started buying him Smartwool socks. These are the only socks he will wear!

I haven't actually worn these yet, but I've been wearing Smartwool merino sox for years when the weather gets cold and the Maximum cushion socks are as warm and comfortable as you can get!

The thickest, warmest socks I've ever worn!

I use these socks for my steel toe work boots. They are comfortable and keep my feet dry. These socks last me all year easy.

The best socks I have used in my work boots. Keeps my feet dry and comfortable.
