Are these good for hiking?

For light trails and casual walks, yes. For long hikes with a pack, Smartwool's Hike line offers more targeted cushioning and support.

Do they keep feet from smelling?

Merino wool resists odor better than cotton or most synthetics. Many owners wear them several times between washes.

They fit snugly and follow the foot. If you are between sizes or prefer a roomier sock, size up.

Merino regulates temperature, so they work in mild heat. In hot, humid weather a thinner sock will feel cooler.

Machine wash cold and tumble dry low. Avoid bleach and fabric softener, which break down the wool fibers.

One pair of crew socks in the chosen size and color.
