Smartwool Merino Wool Socks

Smartwool socks: the merino wool benchmark

Smartwool was born from a simple idea: make better merino wool socks. More than 30 years later, Smartwool socks are still among the most loved for keeping feet dry, warm and odour free, whether you're running, hiking or getting through a Canadian winter.

Why merino socks?

Regulated temperature

Merino keeps you warm when it's cold and stays breathable when it's hot. Your feet stay comfortable all day, whatever the season.

Drier feet, fewer blisters

The wool absorbs and wicks moisture, and stays warm even when damp. A dry foot rubs less, which lowers the risk of blisters.

Natural odour resistance

Merino fibres limit odour build-up, a real advantage on long runs, while travelling or on multi-day hikes.

Find the right Smartwool sock

For running

Smartwool running socks (Run Zero Cushion, Targeted Cushion, Cold Weather) are thin and fitted for running shoes, on road and trail.

For hiking

Smartwool hiking socks (Hike Light Cushion, Full Cushion) offer more cushioning and warmth for boots and long days outdoors.

For everyday and cycling

Everyday styles, patterned or striped, and cycling socks bring merino comfort to work, around town and on the road.
