Feel good on the trails with these comfortable hiking socks.

Overview

The Hike Full Cushion Crew socks, formerly PhD® Outdoor, use cushioning on the entire sock to help maximize warmth and protection. These responsibly sourced, ZQ-certified Merino wool hike socks are built with top sock tech, including Indestructawool™ technology for enhanced durability, 4 Degree™ Elite Fit System for a dialed-in, performance-oriented fit, and Virtually Seamless™ toe for maximum in-shoe/boot comfort.

Smartwool have updated their hike line by improving mesh zones for additional breathability, as well as creating a new ply structure that reduces pilling while enhancing hand-feel and comfort. Not to mention, the best-feeling, best-fitting hiking socks are now made with recycled nylon—making these socks more sustainable than ever. Now that's something you can feel good in and about.

Care

Generally, Smartwool® products are machine washable, but please do check washing instructions on each garment for best results.

1. Turn socks and clothing inside-out.
   
2. Machine-wash on gentle or delicate cycle in cool or warm water (hot water may shrink wool so please avoid this).
   
3. Use mild soap only (no bleach or fabric softener as these destroy the Merino wool fibres and their benefits)
   
4. Most of our Merino may be tumble-dried, but we recommend air-drying to reduce energy consumption and further extend the life of each product.
   

Lay your wool clothes flat so as not to distort the garments shape. If you do prefer to use the dryer, check the product care label first, and tumble-dry on a low setting.
