The Hike Full Cushion Crew socks, previously known as PhD Outdoor, feature all - over cushioning. This design not only maximizes warmth but also offers excellent protection. These responsibly sourced, ZQ - certified Merino wool hiking socks are crafted with top - notch sock technology. The Indestructawool technology makes them highly durable, the 4 Degree Elite Fit System ensures a performance - oriented and precise fit, and the Virtually Seamless toe guarantees maximum comfort inside shoes or boots. Smartwool has upgraded their hiking sock line. They've improved the mesh zones to enhance breathability and developed a new ply structure. This new structure reduces pilling, improves the hand - feel, and boosts overall comfort. Moreover, these best - feeling and best - fitting hiking socks now use recycled nylon, making them more eco - friendly than ever. Wearing these socks, you'll feel great both physically and about your choice.
To use these men's hiking socks, simply put them on like you would with any other socks before you head out for a hike. They're designed to fit well in your shoes or boots, so there's no need to adjust them too much. As for care, it's best to machine - wash them in cold water on a gentle cycle. Avoid using bleach as it can damage the Merino wool and the recycled nylon. When drying, air - dry them to keep their shape and performance intact. Don't expose them to direct sunlight for too long, as this may cause the colors to fade. If the socks get dirty during a hike, try to clean them as soon as possible to prevent stains from setting in.
