After being on my feet for over 12 hrs a day my feet were not all sweaty like when I wear my regular cotton socks. Will be buying more!
Wore these on a mountaineering trip in Nepal up to 20k feet and just bought another pair for Denali this summer. Perfect for tall 6-8,000 meter mountaineering boots. Zero blisters and super warm.
I bought my first pair of these almost 15 years ago. I still wear those same two pairs today. They have been to the highest point in the US and the lowest. I finally bought two more pairs and I bet they last just as long.
