about smartwool

When it comes to doing socks right, you won't find better ones to keep you comfortable in all conditions than SmartWool socks. (Hey - don't quit reading just because you saw the word "wool"! Bear with us and we'll tell you why SmartWool socks are nothing like those itchy socks that used to make you want to scratch your ankles off.) Whether you're hiking in the sun or trekking through slush puddles on your way to your office, SmartWool socks offer the best - and most comfortable - natural fiber in the world for wet and dry use.

SmartWool socks combine their comfort and versatility with odor-free and temperature control technology. They're unshrinkable. SmartWool socks use only the finest wool, New Zealand merino. It's the softest, strongest, whitest wool on the planet. SmartWool socks also work with its growers who are in tune with their land and sheep.

SmartWool socks were born over 10 years ago with comfortable performance in mind. Its founders were New England ski instructors struggling to keep their feet warm. After trying a variety of materials, they rediscovered an age-old classic: wool. But while classic wool socks were warm, they were also itchy and shrink-prone. So the inventors worked on a process to make the wool soft and easy care.

The instant people try SmartWool socks, they are awestruck with the soft, luxurious feel and the way their feet stay comfortable for extended periods of time in mixed weather conditions. Instead of getting clammy, SmartWool socks stay dry, soft and comfortable.

In 1995, Backpacker Magazine tested SmartWool socks, awarding them its coveted Editors' Choice award for best hiking socks. The company received the same honor in 1996 for its trekking socks, and won the award yet again for its new base layer line in 1998 before the first product was even shipped.

Satisfying the needs of walkers, runners, skiers, cyclists, climbers, hikers and anyone else who enjoys comfort and performance, now SmartWool socks are found in everything from high-performance socks to everyday casual socks that work well in boardrooms everywhere. And ShoeMall offers free delivery of all styles. Who knew socks could be so exciting?

I love thick comfortable socks ... mostly I can't find them. These are the first ones I've bought that fit the bill in a long time. If they had more colors, I'd buy more!

These socks are great! I ride motorcycles and on long rides usually feet are damp from sweat but with these socks don't have that problem any more.
