DANISH ENDURANCE Merino Wool Hiking Socks, Lightweight, 3 & 5-Pack

Nov 2018 - Original Purchase Date: Bought pack of 3 in grey. Bought the 6.5 to 8.5 mens even though my size is 9.5. Wanted a snug fit and they fit great with no excess. 1 pair after washing weighs 53g/1.8 oz/ Backpacked 3 full days in the mountains and some rain. No issues at all. Good cushion on foot bottoms, heel, and the top of foot. Feet breathed adequately with the nylon stocking-like ventilation areas where padding is not needed. I can't speak for drying time in the field because it was wet and overcast the whole time but they would dry fine in the sun or dry air. They hold up well ** 3 Year Update 2021 ** These Danish Endurance socks have suffered several hundred miles and many laundry/dryer cycles in the last 3 years and they are holding up very well. The Merino wool is now clearly looking like well worn wool should look. On ~10 to 12 occassions I have worn the same pair for 5 days straight, backpacking 40 to 60 miles in the wet and humid Appalachian & Smoky Mountains and they continue to perform better than I had expected. Quick Dry? Yes, on low humidity days just like anything else. Hanging overnight on a humid night allows them to dry somewhat. Re-wearing the next day is actually not a bad experience at all. These socks don't stink just as Merino wool is advertised. Comfort? I buy smaller sized socks to ensure they don't bunch up in my shoes/boots and that makes them comfortable for me. My feet never get hot in the summer with these. Holes? None in 3 years. If you get holes near your toe nails... trim your toe nails. If you get holes on the pads/heels of your feet... stop walking around the house with them. The elastic around the lower calf has not worn out at all. Smartwool, etc.? Yep, those are great socks. I have a bunch, but I don't hike with them in the warm season. I wear these. These are higher quality than expected socks for a fair price. If you find bad reviews for these socks, oh well. I just bought another pack of these so I have more when my 3 year old socks decide to quit.

I recently had the pleasure of trying out the Merino Wool Life Socks during my summer hiking adventures, and I must say, these socks exceeded my expectations in every way possible. They are hands down the most comfortable and odor-resistant socks I have ever worn! First and foremost, the comfort level of these socks is truly remarkable. The moment I slipped them on, I could feel the softness and cushioning that the merino wool provides. It's like walking on clouds! The socks have a perfect balance of thickness, offering ample support and protection while still allowing my feet to breathe during those long hikes. No more blisters or discomfort for me! What impressed me the most, however, was the socks' ability to keep odors at bay, even during intense summer hikes. Thanks to the natural antimicrobial properties of merino wool, I no longer have to worry about offensive odors or sweaty feet ruining my outdoor experience. These socks effectively wick away moisture and keep my feet dry, fresh, and odor-free throughout the entire day. It's a game-changer! Additionally, the durability of these socks is worth mentioning. I've used them extensively, putting them through rigorous hikes and washing cycles, and they have held up remarkably well. The quality construction and materials used are evident, and I have no doubt that these socks will accompany me on many more adventures to come. The attention to detail in the design is also commendable. The socks feature a snug fit without feeling too tight, ensuring they stay in place without slipping or bunching up. The reinforced toe and heel areas provide extra durability, while the seamless construction minimizes any potential irritation or friction against the skin. These little touches make a big difference when it comes to overall comfort. In conclusion, if you're in need of high-quality socks for your summer hiking adventures, look no further than the Merino Wool Life Socks. With their unparalleled comfort, superior odor resistance, and excellent durability, they have quickly become an essential part of my outdoor gear. Treat your feet to the luxury they deserve and enjoy hiking without a worry in the world. Highly recommended!

They are very light weight socks, and comfortable to wear. I ordered a size small because I wear an 8.5 size boot or shoe. The fit is good and snug and I have zero problems with gathering up stretched out socks at the end of the day. They stay right where they should stay, on my foot, not all bunched up under them because of stretching during the day. I recommend giving them a try if you like light weight socks. Just order your normal size range.

Best socks I ever had

They’re lightweight, comfortable, and provided good cushioning without feeling bulky inside my hiking boots. They stayed in place throughout the day, kept my feet comfortable, and helped prevent hot spots during longer walks. Even in warm desert weather, they remained breathable and didn’t feel overly thick.

True to size, fit well even with my wider feet. They are soft and comfortable, but the moisture wicking was completely absent and didn’t provide any warmth.

Kept my feet dry throughout the hike. No blisters on my feet after 5 hours of hiking. Comfortable fit throughout.

Good fit and quality..

Was soll ich sagen, ich habe mir diese schicken Socken zu meinen neuen Meindl Ohio gegönnt. 1. Sie (also ich meine jetzt die Socken, nicht die Schuhe) sehen mega stylish aus. Ich mag einfach das schlichte dunkle Design mit der dänischen Flagge als farblichen Hingucker. 2. Sie sitzen sehr gut am Fuß, um nicht zu sagen, das fühlt sich perfekt an. Nichts schlabbert, aber sie sind auch nicht einschnürend eng. Richtig angenehm. 3. Sie dämpfen viel besser, als die Trekking Socken, die ich parallel aus Baumwoll-Mischung ebenfalls gekauft habe (von Stark Soul). Sie sind angenehm weich, aber nicht zu dick für warme Tage. Ich schwitze bis 25° nicht damit, allerdings wird das sicher bei 35° mit meinen Vollleder Schuhen mit Gore-Tex sicher anders sein. Irgendwo sind logischerweise dann Grenzen. Das erwarte ich dann auch ehrlich gesagt nicht. Im Video trage ist sie bei 28° in Tirol, das ist noch sehr angenehm. Meine Füße waren im Laufe des Tages nie verschwitzt. 4. Bei momentanen Morgentemperaturen von feucht kühlen 10° sind sie angenehm warm. 5. Ich schätze, auch in Richtung 0° werden sie immer noch gut die Temperatur regulieren. Momentan laufe ich die Socken zusammen mit meinem neuen Meindl Schuhen morgens und abends auf der Hunderunde ein, in einer Woche geht's dann auf nach Tirol. Fazit: Ich bin begeistert und werde sie sofort wieder kaufen, wenn sie "durch" sind. Ach ja, eine Socke hatte einen kleinen Fehler (kleiner Faden gerissen). Ein Bild mit Kaufnachweis direkt an Danish Endurance per E-Mail geschickt, und eine Woche später lag jetzt ganz unkompliziert Ersatz in meinem Briefkasten. Also auch der Service ist super. Ich habe in Deutsch hingeschrieben, habe verständlicherweise aber Antwort in Englisch bekommen, die haben sich tausendmal entschuldigt, alles easy und kein Problem. By the way, noch Mal an dieser Stelle vielen Dank an den super Kundenservice. Von mir 100% Empfehlung. Sollte sich in meiner Meinung nächste Woche beim Einsatz in Tirol etwas ändern, dann gibt's natürlich ein Update. Aber geht davon mal nicht aus, ich kann es mir nicht vorstellen. Super Trekking Socken.

Ottimi calzini in lana merino, usati per diversi trekking di cui uno di 27 km, nessun problema di vesciche e ancora perfetti, abbastanza freschi anche d’estate, unico appunto è che non hanno destro e sinistro sono uguali per entrambi i piedi, consigliati.

Brilliant socks.

I've read some mixed reviews about the company, but I'm happy to say that my order got to me in one piece, with the correct items, and the socks are very comfortable and seems to be good quality! I love the addition of the encouraging quote on the inside of the sock lining (Have a nice hike!), when I saw it it made my morning! ;) thank you!
