SmartWool PhD Outdoor Light Socks -
SmartWool PhD Outdoor Light Crew Socks are the highest performer in the SmartWool ladies socks line, great for trail running, hiking, mountain biking and more.
Crew sock height is the second highest in the SmartWool line, coming up to traditional crew height below the calf, keeping dust and dirt off your skin.
Made of the all-natural, odor free, moisture-controlling Merino wool fibers for which SmartWool socks are famous.
Wool-on-Wool (WOW) technology puts more SmartWool in high-impact and high-wear areas to help reduce shock and abrasion, making these performance socks a lasting pair.
SmartWool's 4-Degree Fit System means special attention to ankle, arch and insteps to keep sock in place - no bunching or slipping with this pair!
Strategically placed mesh zones provide maximum foot ventilation.
100% SmartWool fibers against your skin absorb sweat in its vapor state, which means sweat never condenses and makes your feet wet and clammy, and odor-causing bacteria won't build up.
SmartWool and its New Zealand Merino wool partners have developed Zque, the world's first traceable Merino fiber value chain to ensure environmental, social and economic sustainability, so you can buy SmartWools with a good conscience.

Awesome Wool Socks

I did a few hikes with PhD wool socks and they turned out to be better than I thought because the socks are comfortable and left my foot blister-free after a 10 mile hike with about 35 pounds of gear. The design of the look good and the socks are true to fit. The socks does not roll down like my other wool socks and does not loosen up inside after a prolong use of time. I highly recommend them.

My only complaint is the price being a tad bit high compared to other wool socks, but a very good investment for my foot.
HJC985 at Eastern Mountain Sports (EMS) on 11/11/2012

Nice socks

These socks keep my feet dry and fit very well. They seem durable and wash well (machine washed and dried low to med). There was minimal shrinkage (but I sized up to L anticipating this, as I don't air dry them). They are warm and well cushioned. I've used them for short hikes, with boots, and everyday (though for most of my non-athletic footwear, the cushion is a bit too thick).
Patricia at Eastern Mountain Sports (EMS) on 01/01/2013

great sock

Most socks I have tried on for hiking are too bulky. These are just right. I also use these to down hill ski. Wool makes the difference. You really don't need a lot of cushion if your boats fit well and are well made.
hikeglacier at REI on 07/07/2012

Ilove thesesocks

I love these socks because theyfitsowell-they are made with extrastretchymaterial at critical parts,and a cushiony sole. I am allergic to woll(it makes my skin itchy),but these are minimally itchy.. They have become my winter socks.

Good fit and good quality

PhD Smart Wool are especially good for people with thin feet. They hug the foot well, which prevents blisters. I wouldn't wear anything else.
Walker lady at SunnySports on 04/04/2013

I will never buy any other socks than the SmartWool brand. I want to try others now - but the PHD are incredible.

Warm Feet in Arkansas

We are safari people and wear them with our boots in hot/warm climates or at home in cold climates. They are a staple item for Christmas. I have introduced my adult grand daughters to the joy of warm feet here in Arkansas in the cold months, which they appreciate. I order from Campmor for sale prices in quantities for the basic hikers and some fun colors, too. I enjoy them for walking/running in the colder months. Coolmax is a wonderful product in every way.
