Merino Wool Ankle Running Hiking Socks for Women and Men

Anyone complaining about it not feeling like real wool didn't read the description, it says wool blend. They are the most comfiest socks I have ever purchased! They fit well they keep my feet warm . They don't sweat in hot weather. I almost forgot I had them on this evening. Best socks ever!!!!

I am in love with these socks! In fact I've reordered five more times and have told my hiking friends about them, and they've ordered them now, too. We all love them. This is an excellent price for a 70% Merino wool sock. They wick away moisture & keep your feet nice and dry and comfortable in your boots. They're very cushiony yet your feet do not overheat. I bought these for the gym and for hiking. I actually hike about a hundred miles a month so I can tell you these socks go through a lot with me! The ankle cut socks are perfect for both my trail runners and my actual low ankle boots. The arch support keeps the sock firm on my foot and does not allow the sock to bunch up down towards the toe. The Merino wool helps to control moisture and my feet do not stink after a 6-7 mile hike. And oh my gosh they are so soft! It's like walking on clouds. I've had no issues with holes in the socks and will definitely update later if I do. I highly recommend these socks and tell your friends about them too

I’ve been dealing with athletes foot for decades and using daily maintenance medication for longer than many people reading this have been alive. I generally don’t have any issues other than I always at least one or two nails that are cloudy and brittle. I’ve tried synthetic blends in the past but this just seemed to make things worse so I always go back to cotton.I was been reading about the benefits of wool so I thought I would try these socks. I had several clouded nails at the time but in just a few weeks of wearing wool socks I noted subtle improvements. At the time of writing this it has been over 4 months of wearing wool socks exclusively and all my nails are completely clear and healthy! I honestly can’t believe it since I haven’t had seen completely healthy nails since I was a teenager. I do continue to use daily antifungal maintenance medication but the only change has been the wool socks.I think part of the issue was the cotton socks being soaked with sweat when I took them off at the end of the day regardless of the season or activity levels. The wool socks, however, are usually dry. Even after taking them out of a hiking boot on a hot day on the trail they will feel damp but not soaked. Consequently, they dry out completely on a rock while taking a short break. By staying dry they don’t bind up and cause hot spots like cotton socks. That, and I think they just distribute the heat better than cotton and I wouldn’t be surprised if they are actually cooler on hot days. Of course, in cooler temps they are warmer and I did appreciate how much so until the other day when I wore some cotton socks that felt like I was wearing ice cubes on my feet when I was walking around my hard wood floors at the end of the day.With these particular wool ankle socks I did note a hole around the toes with a couple of the socks after a few washes. My experience with cotton socks is that even the smallest of holes will grow exponentially with each use and so I generally just discard them. At first, I was disappointed thinking that these socks would not last but it does not appear that the holes grow like cotton. In fact, I haven’t thrown one wool sock away. My eyes aren’t great at close distant but it seems like the holes I noticed disappeared. Even if they didn’t it doesn’t matter since they do not currently seem to be a problem. I haven’t had these socks long enough to notice any thinning at wear points like cotton socks but I suspect that since they don’t bind like cotton they are less prone to wear.I now have a dozen pairs of wool ankle socks and I’ve gotten in the habit of putting them in a separate bin for washing otherwise they end up getting tumble dried with the rest of the family’s close. They have been in drier a number of times and I suspect they look a little more aged as a result. If I wash them separately with other delicate items I just lay them out on the floor after washing since they aren’t noticeably wet after a spin cycle and they completely dry out overnight. At this point I would rather put on a pair of wool socks straight out of the washer then put on dry pair of cotton socks since the results would be the opposite at the end of the day.

These are quality socks, but for me the large are a bit small at size 11 shoesize. They are warm in any conditions, and warm days they can feel a bit stiffling, and I have probably sweatier than average feet, so without well ventilated shoes, my feet still get damp. They are so soft and cozy in cooler/cold weather. But again, it the heat, with some sweat, this makes them a bit "slippery" and my feet slide in my shoes on steep off-camber terrain. I would probably buy these again, except I have 6 pairs, and my wife buys me expensive branded socks I'd never purchase for myself.

Oh my goodness! I have never been obsessed with a pair of socks but, here we are. They are thick which I usually dislike but they don’t feel thick even with my chuck taylors on, I usually have either sweaty or cold feet they are neither in these. Love love love the colors so vibrant, haven’t washed any yet will update on how it wears. No toe fuzzies, color transfer to feet, they fit so well, barely a seam…dare I say these are my perfect socks! Wish the price was not so much, which honestly for what I’m getting isn’t that bad but I’m poor… GO GO WOOL!!! BAA

I needed a good cushioned gym sock with a compression feature to use in the gym. These socks are perfect! They absorb moisture, do not smell funky, fit true to size & enhance my workout! I love them!

I am amazed. At first I was hesitant because I wanted merino socks to wick sweat. I figured it was low risk, ordering these to test them out since they were priced so reasonably. I ordered them and immediately tested them in a hot environment while camping, and they were amazing. Comfy, my feet dont overheat, they breathe well. I think theyre intended for hiking, but do well in every environment. I wear them at work (business casual) with non breathable shoes and they still work to wick sweat. They are way cheaper than name brand merinos and still perform. Not sure if they are in fact real merino, and time will tell their durability but I intend to wash them like merino with proper detergent to help. Extremely happy. Will be buying more.

I bought the Anlisim Merino Wool Ankle Running Hiking socks in medium. I wear size 8 - 8.5 US women's size shoes. The socks are pretty good, but I do not consider them compression socks at all. They are also advertised as having a thick cushion. The cushion is not as thick as Kirkland (Costco) wool socks, but I am happy for that since I purchased these as a summer weight hiking sock. Out of the bag they were quite loose. After washing and drying on medium heat they tightened up enough that I am willing to keep them, but overall I am not especially impressed. If you want them for good compression, look elsewhere such as Sockwell - which are expensive but provide true compression and are worth the expense if you actually want true compression socks. I wore the Anlisim socks yesterday on a 12 mile, 2,500 foot elevation gain hike. Compared to Kirkland (Costco) and Darn Tough hiking socks, these feel quite fibrous which became a bit irritating on the bottom of the foot toward the end of a long hike. I am not certain how well the heel and toe areas these will hold up compared to Costco and Darn Tough socks. I was hoping these would be a nice substitute for Darn Toughs which I am trying to get away from b/c Darn Toughs are 100% synthetic (not to mention ridiculously expensive). Anlisim are thinner than Kirkland wool socks, making this brand better for summer hiking than Kirkland, but I will stick with Kirkland socks for cool and winter season activities because Kirkland are more comfortable (soft, non fibrous cushion underfoot), fit better, and hold up reasonably well in the toe and heel. For day-to-day wear Anlisim socks are fine, but I am not sure I will buy them again.

I’m writing this review having owned these socks for many months. They are my go to socks for the summer months. Soft, comfortable, breathable - do not smell. I’ve replaced my cotton socks with these.They have washed well and lasted well too.I will buy again.

I recently purchased the 6 Pairs Merino Wool Ankle Running Hiking Socks, and I must say, they have surpassed my expectations in terms of comfort, support, and performance. Here's a detailed review based on my experience:Comfort and SoftnessFrom the moment I put them on, I noticed how incredibly soft these socks are. The merino wool blend provides a luxurious feel against the skin, which makes them perfect for long runs and hikes. They offer just the right amount of warmth without being too heavy or causing overheating.Support and CushioningOne of the standout features of these socks is the excellent support they offer. The compression support around the arch and ankle gives a snug fit, which is essential for preventing blisters and reducing fatigue during prolonged activities. The thick cushioning is another highlight, providing an extra layer of comfort that feels like walking on clouds. This cushioning also helps absorb impact, making each step feel more energized and less taxing on the feet.BreathabilityDespite the thick cushioning, these socks are highly breathable. The merino wool naturally wicks away moisture, keeping my feet dry even during intense workouts. This breathability is crucial in preventing unpleasant odors and maintaining overall foot health.PerformanceThese socks have genuinely added an extra bounce to my step. Whether I’m running on trails or hiking up steep inclines, the combination of cushioning and support translates to a more enjoyable and less strenuous experience. The added spring in my step helps with endurance and reduces the impact on my joints.ConclusionOverall, the 6 Pairs Merino Wool Ankle Running Hiking Socks are an outstanding choice for anyone looking for high-quality, supportive, and comfortable socks. They excel in providing the necessary support and cushioning for high-impact activities while maintaining breathability and durability. I highly recommend these socks to runners, hikers, and anyone in need of reliable and comfortable foot support.

These feel really good, bought them for a holiday in the Mediterranean, walked miles everyday in new trainers . Never had any discomfort, never sweaty feet and good support.Cant say how long they will last but recommended on a few weeks experience.

Mit Diabetikerfüßen den Jakobsweg laufen - was kann da schiefgehen?!Mit diesen Socken zumindest nichts! Sie sind zwar etwas dicker, waren aber zu keiner Zeit (bei durchgehend ca. 22°) zu warm. Sie können ohne Probleme das ganze Jahr getragen werden. Sehr bequem und gut verarbeitet.Hinweis für potentielle Langstreckenwanderer, die zwischendurch Handwäsche machen: aufgrund der Dicke des Stoffs brauchen die Socken etwas länger zum Trocknen, auch unter Anwendung des "Handtuchtricks".Fazit: absolute Empfehlung!

Been wearing these for over a year now and they still feel like new. My favourite ever sock purchase!
