Great for thru-hiking, day tripping, and any time you want your feet to stay cool and comfortable, the SmartWool PhD socks are so named because they’re built for performance—to the highest degree. Each pair of Outdoor Light socks is made of merino wool for breathability, temperature regulation, and moisture and odor management, with nylon for durability and a splash of elastane for stretch Read More

I have a pair of these bought from a retailer in Canada. They're superficially nice but I have worn a hole in the heel of mine after only 2 months of walking short distances from my dorm to class. I would not recommend smartwool personally. You'll get much better value and durability out of Darn Tough brand socks.
Have had similar experiences overall. All 3 Smartwool socks I owned wore out on heel and ball of foot fast (3-4 months) for me whereas Darn Tough has so far only had one pair that wore out incredibly fast on ball of foot. I assume that was just a bad pair though as my other pairs are all looking decent after a year of use.
My friend bought these socks, and they are awesome. They don't smell at all after 3-4 days of hiking, beginning to smell after approx 5 days. Just came back from an 80 km hike and wish I had these (would be the only pair I brought instead of 3 pairs that I ended up bringing). i think this is a must buy for anyone looking to cut down on weight/volume.
PS. the price is pretty good too, since they dont typically go on sale...
