Awesome, Bodacious, Radical Socks!
I hiked 18 miles (in Chicago) as a trial for a planned hiking trip in New Zealand (Milford Trek) which spans 33 miles over 5 days. I felt very comfortable with these socks; you will want a sock liner to use with these type of wool socks, planning to use these with North Face Dhaulagiri II GTX boots which I simply love and wish they were still on the market! I will use the shorter cosins of these type of smartwool socks with Salomon XA Pro 3D Ultra GTX shoes. I was worried about cushion and bought both medium and light, I now wish I had stuck with light because the medium are nice and warm!
Favorite socks. I love good gear, and am usually one that is willing to pay for a good product. I've thought for a while now that Smartwools were a little over priced for how long they lasted. They've always been great socks, but the have worn out rather quickly. These new PhDs are comfy and have lasted. I'm a fan. The toe and heel fit is great. i've learned that by not buying a pair that is super tight will also add to durability. I am in between a M and L and have recently worn the L and they are a little bulkier, but hold up better.
My favorite socks
People freak about spending $20 on a pair of socks because they don't know how good good can be. I have light, medium, and heavy versions of PhD's and LOVE THEM!
I wear the lights with dress shoes for work, mediums and heavy's for hiking, working outdoors, fishing and hunting. They ROCK and I'll never go back to regular socks. Thanks Smart Wool for making my life better!
I picked up a pair of these for my boyfriend, as I have always been a solid believer in Smartwool socks. The Phd's are no different- versatile, comfortable, and keeping your feet happy all day long. Highly addictive, you probably won't be able to stop at one pair- would definitely recommend these!
Didn't have any socks to go with my boots for the winter and I am very pleased with this product. Keeps my feet warm while out in the snow and feels great. Would definitely recommend and I plan on buying more before the end of the cool season.
Great, great socks!
the best ever
I love smartwool and these are not different. the only real problem is that i feel it takes a bit longer to dry than some of their more expensive socks.
Negative Reviews:
New but not improved
The problem with the thinness is that they do not hold your foot nearly as well as the original, even though they talk about how they have improved the fit. maybe if they used the same amount of material with the new design they'd have an improvement, but as these are not as thick as the old, the new design doesn't feel improved real world.
the second problem with them thinner is that the balls of my feet over heat from friction. and the heels just feel less cushioned.
i purchased 7 pair of the original phd crew light socks on rei.com on clearance, and bought this one pair new at the store in seattle to test them, based on my last experience with a new design from smart wool. now i now i will stock up on the old, then look for a new brand of sock.
i was one of smart wool's biggest fans, and since this is the second new sock that is using significantly less material, i'm not happy. not to mention, the cost is still the same.
there is no way these would beat out the old phd socks in a real world wear test.
