Customer Reviews Smartwool Performance Hike Light Cushion Mid Crew

I use smart wool socks every day, and try to match them to my activity, the light cushion is very much dependent on the shoes, while cushion is warmer and a bit heaver .

These are my go to socks. Very comfortable and long wearing.

Great product! Love the durability of these quality socks.

First and definitely not my last pair of hiking socks by smartwool

These are on the thicker side for a hiking sock and aren't as tight as I'd hoped out of the box. They're still a durable Smartwool sock and perfect for camping/backpacking--hoping they shrink up a bit in the wash and they'll be perfect.

I wear high-top Chucks, these are the absolute best socks for these shoes. Not too thick or thin and the perfect height.

Great Socks.

Gift for my husband. He loves SmartWool. Comfortable. Warm.

These seem good so far... cushion is good...nice socks.

Great for the early morning hikes. Warm and comfortable. Oh I also sleep with them on.

These socks are a bit tight on the leg and also a little short. I ordered a medium based on the size chart. Though the socks are described as having light cushioning, I wish I had bought them with no cushioning. I was annoyed that they charged me for shipping after ordering more socks than I needed so as to meet the shipping minimum. And if they want to copy Darn Tough in look and material, why not give the same lifetime guarantee?

I buy these for Christmas gifts for my sons and grandson. On review, they are warm, soft, durable, and look great!!

I have worn the black and gray Women's PhD Run Cold Weather Mid Crew as my everyday fall/winter socks for several years. They hit just right under my ankle boots. Those are no longer made so I was looking for the next closest thing, which was a bit of a struggle. There are very few Smartwools in the black/gray color scheme with light padding (both for warmth and extra cushion when I'm walking in low heels all day) and mid profile. I ended up with these, which are also labeled Mid Crew, but as you can see from the photo actually hit about 3 inches higher on my calf than the old ones, which doesn't really line up with the diagrams or photos on this page. Aside from the height, they seem pretty similar in fit and padding to the Run Cold Weather. I'm not sure I like the spot it hits on my leg, but if it annoys me, I'll probably just fold the top over to match the height of my boots.

Very comfortable socks... but I'm not sure they are great for hiking. They seemed a little loose fitting during a 6 mile hike and started to bother my feet. I don't think I will wear them on my upcoming trek across the Grand Canyon (which is why I purchased them).

Hiking these are a little on the thick side.

They feel lose on my feet after a few hours wearing them

I ordered mid crew and got crew despite the packaging saying mid crew.

Taller tha. Mid crew

Bought smartwool hiking socks 2-3 years ago, they felt good the fit was good. The new ones feel cheaper and they do not fit properly.

Attractive design, good quality. Too small for being sized as XL

I bought a pair of these (and a few other pairs of smartwool socks in different designs) a few months ago, and every single pair I bought has a hole above the toe where the seam attaching the top of the sock to the bottom is located. They are otherwise comfortable, but I wouldn't recommend them, nor would I buy them again.

Smartwool has been my go-to for many years, but my latest purchase has me looking around at other brands. The socks just did not have the comfort and substantial feel that I have come to expect. In fact, one of the pairs has already begun to unravel.
