This week, we scanned Amazon's bestseller list for the highest-rated wool socks, then pulled the best, most authoritative reviews for each.
Fun Toes Men's Merino Wool ($25 for 6)
“These are great socks. I wore my first pair during a five-mile race and they kept my feet warm and did not rub and sore spots at all. They fit firm to the foot but not strangling tight like some socks do.”
Darn Tough Men’s Merino Wool Hiker ($25)
“I bought these socks because of their lifetime guarantee. The decision proved a good one, they are just showing their age after two great years.”
Fits Medium Hiker Crew ($20)
“Fits are the best wool hiking socks I have ever worn. They’re well worth the price. Even in the summer, these socks are perfectly comfortable and they really help prevent blisters.”
Loritta Women’s Vintage Style Thick Knit ($10 for 5)
“I love these socks! They fall somewhere between ankle socks and knee socks as far as length. They are warm and wash well, and the elastic around your calf holds the sock up but does not dig in and leave marks.”
Smartwool Women’s Cable II Socks ($20)
“These are the only socks I wear in the winter. The socks keep my feet warm and dry all day, they’re super comfortable and the blue and black colors go with any outfit.”
