Pretty Good Socks4
I live in NYC and i bought these socks for our cold winter days. I’m not much of a hiker.

They fit great, and they are a huge improvement over regular cotton socks in terms of both warmth and moisture-wicking ability (my feet don’t get very sweaty in them).

I usually wear them around the house on the weekends instead of slippers. I’ve found that slippers get very sweaty, but these socks work great.

The fit is very good- molded to the shape of your feet. The thickness is also pretty good, and I can still fit into my regular sized sneakers when I wear them.

For the price, compared to other wool composite socks I’ve seen, these are probably the best.

After 2-3 months of owning and wearing them on and off, I have noticed the bottoms are very “fuzzy” and if you hold them up to the light you can really see that extra fuzz on the bottom. I don’t think they will fall apart, though. They seem to be holding up well.

Thorlo wool/thorolon thick cushion hiking sock5
This is the best all around / all year around casual boot hiking / work shoe sock on the market. Well worth the high price. Been wearing them for over 15 years.

Comfy, not sweaty5
I’ve been wearing these to the gym, hiking, and walking for months and I absolutely love them! They fit well; they’re not bunchy or tight. They feel great – they’re soft and cushioned. But they’re not so cushiony that your regular walking or fitness shoes won’t fit over them. I’ve washed & dried them lots of times and they haven’t shrunk or lost their shape, and they show no obvious signs of wear. And I have ridiculously sweaty feet, yet the socks never get more than slightly damp, and they keep my feet nice and dry.

I’m really pleased with them, although I do wish there were more color variety.

Pricey but worth it5
I have health problems that make it important to keep my feet happy, and I have searched high and low for the “right” socks. In an effort to keep my feet warm I’ve often resorted to buying thicker men’s socks, even though they never fit me quite right. This sock is the best I’ve found. It’s thick but light enough to wear with everyday shoes; sturdy enough to wear for hiking on rough terrain here in the high desert and southern Rockies. Very comfortable — doesn’t bunch up, and it has nice padding in the right spots. I bought it specifically for cold-weather use, and it consistently keeps my feet warm even in temps around zero (Fahrenheit), or on hikes where my feet are likely to get cold and damp. Feels comfortably dry even though I have notoriously sweaty feet.

These socks are not cheap, and that made me hesitant to buy them. But I liked the first pair so much, I ended up buying three more. I’ve tried socks made of everything — cotton, acrylic blends, wool, bamboo — and these socks are my current favorites. I hope Thorlo keeps making them, because I intend to buy more in the future.

Thorlos Are The Best5
I have used these socks for hiking around our high desert and mountain areas since 2006. When my last pair wore out, I was pleased to find them on Amazon.

These are my favorite socks for hiking the local trails. The moisture- wicking technology keeps my feet relatively dry and the cushioning helps in preventing blisters.
