Our take on the Smartwool Adult Targeted Cushioning Hike Ankle Socks

These are merino wool ankle socks built for hiking, with 55% merino, 3% elastane and targeted cushioning placed under the heel and forefoot. The merino blend wicks moisture and resists odor, which is why hikers pick them over cotton or basic synthetic socks on long days. They suit day hikers and trail walkers who want a low-cut sock that stays put inside trail shoes. Against thicker crew hiking socks they run cooler and lighter, but they offer less ankle protection and less warmth in cold weather.

Questions and answers

Are these socks good for hiking boots?
They work best with low-cut trail shoes and light hiking boots. The ankle height leaves the shin exposed, so taller boots may rub.
Do they keep feet dry?
Merino wicks moisture and dries faster than cotton, but the knit is breathable rather than waterproof. Wet feet come from the shoe, not the sock.
How should I wash them?
Machine wash at 30 degrees and do not iron. Skip the dryer or use low heat to limit shrinkage.
What is the merino content?
The blend is 55% merino wool with 3% elastane for stretch. The rest is other wool and synthetic fibers.
Are they warm enough for winter?
They are a warm-weather and three-season sock. For cold or snowy hikes, a thicker crew sock gives more insulation.
