Smartwool's new and improved Hike Light socks, formerly PhD® Outdoor, offer a women's-specific fit and bring you enhanced features to maximize comfort and help you get after it at the highest level. They've extended the durability zones to make them cover even more of the sock–offering the same comfort with even more strength. And updated mesh zones help improve breathability without sacrificing the perfect sock fit. Less pressure. More performance. Add these features to a lightly cushioned sock that already provides the highest degree of comfort, fit, and durability, and it's never been easier to go far and feel good.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I get Smartwool socks for my wife every year for Christmas. These are virtually the only kind of socks she wears. Same for me as well. They never stink. Last for a long time with repetitive use.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love these socks!!! Fit well. True to size. I bought these in store and had a great experience. Hopefully they last longer than some of my previous smartwool socks but time will tell.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have a high instep and arch, and big feet (W11, Euro 44). Size L is a good fit & I like the color choices. No more wearing Men’s socks for me. Also appreciate the lower crew height option.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought these socks for the cold months. They are very warm. I am someone who always has cold feet but these keep me warm. I’m very happy with my purchase.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the look and feel of these socks. So comfortable. Wore them in hot humid weather this summer and they were great. My feet did not feel hot and sweaty. Looking forward to trying them this winter.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wore these (and only these) on a 4-day trip on the Timberline Trail around Mt. Hood. Very dusty, lots of elevation change, amazing views. Socks held up great and were comfortable even when very dirty!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These were perfect for hiking in the summer, upper 70's, they fit well in hiking boots that I usually get blisters in, but not this time! So nice to have happy feet the day after a hike!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've tried every pair in my collection in preparation for a big hiking trip coming up and these are the winners! They are the perfect weight - not too heavy but have cushioning.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My wife loves them and seems to wear them everyday! They are thick and comfortable according to her. She is excited to try them next time we go hiking as well as when we are doing a lot of walking in India.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Loved my Smartwools from 10 years ago, so I bought a bunch more including these for a hike/brewery trip to the Acadia National Park area. They're very comfy all day and didn't make my feet smell :) Like the new pattern on top as well. Got the blue/grey ones.
