DANISH ENDURANCE Merino Wool Socks for Men & Women, Light Hiking Socks

Nov 2018 - Original Purchase Date: Bought pack of 3 in grey. Bought the 6.5 to 8.5 mens even though my size is 9.5. Wanted a snug fit and they fit great with no excess. 1 pair after washing weighs 53g/1.8 oz/ Backpacked 3 full days in the mountains and some rain. No issues at all. Good cushion on foot bottoms, heel, and the top of foot. Feet breathed adequately with the nylon stocking-like ventilation areas where padding is not needed. I can't speak for drying time in the field because it was wet and overcast the whole time but they would dry fine in the sun or dry air. They hold up well ** 3 Year Update 2021 ** These Danish Endurance socks have suffered several hundred miles and many laundry/dryer cycles in the last 3 years and they are holding up very well. The Merino wool is now clearly looking like well worn wool should look. On ~10 to 12 occassions I have worn the same pair for 5 days straight, backpacking 40 to 60 miles in the wet and humid Appalachian & Smoky Mountains and they continue to perform better than I had expected. Quick Dry? Yes, on low humidity days just like anything else. Hanging overnight on a humid night allows them to dry somewhat. Re-wearing the next day is actually not a bad experience at all. These socks don't stink just as Merino wool is advertised. Comfort? I buy smaller sized socks to ensure they don't bunch up in my shoes/boots and that makes them comfortable for me. My feet never get hot in the summer with these. Holes? None in 3 years. If you get holes near your toe nails... trim your toe nails. If you get holes on the pads/heels of your feet... stop walking around the house with them. The elastic around the lower calf has not worn out at all. Smartwool, etc.? Yep, those are great socks. I have a bunch, but I don't hike with them in the warm season. I wear these. These are higher quality than expected socks for a fair price. If you find bad reviews for these socks, oh well. I just bought another pack of these so I have more when my 3 year old socks decide to quit.

I ordered a Medium and I assumed it was women's size M. The socks are terrific but NOT a Medium. They are way too big. I rechecked my order and couldn't find "Women's" or "Men's" anywhere in my order. My husband tried them on and they fit perfectly, so we're keeping them. I am hesitant to order these socks again for me.

They are very light weight socks, and comfortable to wear. I ordered a size small because I wear an 8.5 size boot or shoe. The fit is good and snug and I have zero problems with gathering up stretched out socks at the end of the day. They stay right where they should stay, on my foot, not all bunched up under them because of stretching during the day. I recommend giving them a try if you like light weight socks. Just order your normal size range.

I don’t usually write product reviews, but these socks are so good they deserved a review. I used them for a 3-week trip where we visited cities and walked and walked and walked. The socks are super comfortable, lightweight, easy to wash and they dry overnight. No problems with blisters, no discomfort at any time. Best travel socks I’ve ever had.

I recently had the pleasure of trying out the Merino Wool Life Socks during my summer hiking adventures, and I must say, these socks exceeded my expectations in every way possible. They are hands down the most comfortable and odor-resistant socks I have ever worn! First and foremost, the comfort level of these socks is truly remarkable. The moment I slipped them on, I could feel the softness and cushioning that the merino wool provides. It's like walking on clouds! The socks have a perfect balance of thickness, offering ample support and protection while still allowing my feet to breathe during those long hikes. No more blisters or discomfort for me! What impressed me the most, however, was the socks' ability to keep odors at bay, even during intense summer hikes. Thanks to the natural antimicrobial properties of merino wool, I no longer have to worry about offensive odors or sweaty feet ruining my outdoor experience. These socks effectively wick away moisture and keep my feet dry, fresh, and odor-free throughout the entire day. It's a game-changer! Additionally, the durability of these socks is worth mentioning. I've used them extensively, putting them through rigorous hikes and washing cycles, and they have held up remarkably well. The quality construction and materials used are evident, and I have no doubt that these socks will accompany me on many more adventures to come. The attention to detail in the design is also commendable. The socks feature a snug fit without feeling too tight, ensuring they stay in place without slipping or bunching up. The reinforced toe and heel areas provide extra durability, while the seamless construction minimizes any potential irritation or friction against the skin. These little touches make a big difference when it comes to overall comfort. In conclusion, if you're in need of high-quality socks for your summer hiking adventures, look no further than the Merino Wool Life Socks. With their unparalleled comfort, superior odor resistance, and excellent durability, they have quickly become an essential part of my outdoor gear. Treat your feet to the luxury they deserve and enjoy hiking without a worry in the world. Highly recommended!

UPDATE: As I have stated before, I really like these socks, they are my daily wear socks. But during a sale, I ordered a set of three, they were delivered in the manufacture's packaging. The package's seal had come undone and there was only one (1) sock in it. I quickly requested a replacement from Amazon, and they sent me a replacement within two days (great on their part!). But as the delivery driver handed me the new package (I was outside working in the yard when they showed up), out dropped a pair of socks, checked and the package's seal had come undone just like the last one, this time there were only two (2) socks in it! The driver did go and check his van, but no luck the missing sock was gone. This being the second time in less then a week that the manufactures packing failed and contents (socks) have gone missing. As much as I like these socks, I have had to lower the rating due to the manufacture's poor packaging methods. If the socks ordered, do not arrive it's really doesn't do the buyer any good. As you can see in the photo, only one of the tape seals was even used, the first shipment was the same, so this looks, I'm sad to say, to be a common occurrence at their factory. 1st review: Was looking for a good lightweight sock for a long time that I could use for everyday, as well as work for hiking and travel. Found these and after trying them bought 2 more sets. They have become my go to socks this summer. Only time will tell how well they last with daily wear. But for now they fit great and feel good on my old feet.

I accidentally submitted a review on these socks because I confused two sock orders. I wrote of problems that made me decide to return the other pairs of socks. I really like these socks. I needed socks that were comfortable and that wicked out sweat moisture in waterproof boots. These socks do exactly that. I have tried every pair in this shipment. I have worn one of each type of socks in two different pairs of waterproof hiking boots. One pair breathes less than the other pair of boots. Even with those boots these socks perform admirably. In the past 10 weeks I have purchased a lot of models with varying thicknesses from four different brands. I am most happy and satisfied with these Danish Endurance socks. I have been handwashing them inside and out. I press them in a towel and hang them to dry. In the morning they are ready to wear again, but because I have 5 pairs I actually don’t wear them the next morning. I like these socks cushioning and I appreciate the patterning on the socks which helps to make certain the sock cushioning is in the right place. The amount of stretch allows them to be put on and adjusted yet not to move around on long hikes. I definitely recommend these socks.

Got these for all the seasons - cooling the feet in summer & keeping them warm in the winter. PROS: - Do what they are supposed to do - good insulation to keep feet at ideal temps - Great padding for hiking! Super comfy! - Nice fit - as expected. - Wash well. No fading/stretching/falling apart. CONS: - Not really a con...but I wish these had the option to come in a above-the-calf length to be even more useful hiking in brush.

Perfekt, wenn man - so wie ich- bei "normalen" Socken sofort Blasen bekommt. Auch nach zwei Wochen intensiver Stadtbesichtigungen keinerlei Beschwerden. Selbst bei Temperaturen jenseits der 30 Grad Celsius hatte ich nie das Gefühl, "Winterkleidung" anzuhaben.

Ottimi calzini in lana merino, usati per diversi trekking di cui uno di 27 km, nessun problema di vesciche e ancora perfetti, abbastanza freschi anche d’estate, unico appunto è che non hanno destro e sinistro sono uguali per entrambi i piedi, consigliati.

Definitivamente compraré más y a partir de ahora solo comprare de este tipo de calcetines. Son suaves y ayudan a mantener el pie seco, suave y que no se resbale dentro de los tenis

Achei as meias caras e muito apertadas. Apesar do "pedigree" da marca ser dinamarquesa e serem fabricadas na Europa (Portugal) achei inferiores às meias chinesas de outra marca.
