Smartwool PhD Outdoor Light Crew Socks

Socks.
What better way to start your day then with a warm pair of awesome socks? The answer- nada, except maybe warm socks and a good breakfast. ;)
A good pair of socks can change your day, well not only your day- but your health and attitude as well. I had the pleasure of giving the new Smartwool Outdoor light crew socks a try from Appalachian Outdoors.  These socks are warm, supportive and a very nice way to keep your feet protected from the every wear and tear they normally receive from running, hiking, biking, or walking for that matter.  Yes, and chasing kids  :P

Some cool features of these socks include: 4-Degree Fit System for all-day performance fit, WOW™ technology in high density impact zones to reduce shock and abrasion, Merino wool inside for moisture, temperature and odor control, and Duroyarn reinforcement for added comfort and durability.
The color I received was oatmeal, and they are super comfy.  I had to fold them down, they hurt my leg if I left them up- too tight.  But folded down, no problems, and they were super comfy.  Sometimes comfort is more important then fashion, especially when you are running about.  At $19.95/ pair these are the perfect fit for those new hiking boots or running shoes.  A little pricey- but if you are big into the outdoors, you know a good pair of socks can be SO worth it.  I like to run, and they like to run with me  :)

Happy running!  (Or whatever you like to do)  :)

A good pair of socks is my only solace during the winter nasty.

I think I have told you before what a freak I am when it comes to socks and can NOT be barefoot! These just look comfortable

I live in the middle of Maine so I am always wearing socks. Will have to buy a pair.... or two!

I would say that though most would think 19.95 was expensive for a sock it is not expensive if you consider you are buying warmth and comfort. Frost bit feet are a lot more expensive than 19.95
Also a great gift idea for the holidays.

I especially like the shock absorption effect! Sounds like a sock my husband would like!

Tucking this away for a Christmas idea! Thanks!
