Experience durability at its peak with the Smartwool Women’s PhD Outdoor Light Crew Socks. These socks are built for performance in the highest degree, making them ready for any adventure on your list.
The Smartwool community is a collection of people who believe that time outside is valuable, restorative, and essential for everyone.
When Smartwool started making socks back in 1994, their founders simply wanted to be able to ski longer without getting cold toes.
That’s when they discovered the benefits of Merino wool as a performance fabric. It was soft (softer than any wool they had every felt), moisture-wicking, thermoregulating (warm when it’s cold, and cool when it’s warm), sustainable, and odor-neutralizing- helping to keep feet dry, comfortable, and warm for longer than the synthetic socks they were wearing at the time. It worked so well, in fact, that Smartwool uses it in almost every single item they make.
Smartwool was the first outdoor company to make performance Merino wool ski socks- revolutionizing the category and forever changing the way outdoor enthusiasts viewed their feet.
Smartwool’s whole brand was built on the desire to be comfortable on outdoor adventures-we wanted to go farther and experience more. And that drive continues to fuel everything Smartwool does. From their Merino wool supply chain to the Smartwool advocacy program to how they design their socks and apparel, Smartwool exists to help you play, love, and laugh in the great outdoors as often as you would like.

My husband stole them So warm and cozy! I never thought Iâd pay this much for a pair of socks. I never thought Iâd write a review for socks. I mean, what can you say about a sock? These are wonderful! I wore them around the house instead of slippers. So toasty warm and cozy. Unfortunately they ended up in with my husbands socks and he wonât give them back! Time to buy another pair (or 2)
Hiked the Spanish Camino-80miles in these puppies Socks were light weight, but not thin. For hiking, you really need a good solid sock so that you don’t get blisters. I found the size slightly larger than needed, so I had a bit of extra fabric in the heel (I’m a size 9 shoe). But no real problems with that. After 6 days and 80 miles, I couldn’t have asked for a better pair of socks. Through all sorts of weather (rain, sun, snow even!) these socks were good and kept my feet dry. Worth the money.
Sizing runs large! Bought these to try with new hiking boots, and they seem like they will be comfortable and warm as expected.Sizing seems to run large though. I usually wear size 6.5-7 women’s shoe and I bought the small socks (for size 4-6.5), and they are still a bit too big. Will need to be careful how I put them on so they don’t bunch and become uncomfortable when in the hiking boots. I’ve attached some photos so you can see how baggy they are.Haven’t tried them outside yet but I…
