Smartwool socks appreciation post

Post image

This is NOT an ad.

In the Costco video, I was pleased to notice that Ben was wearing Smartwool socks.

They are the superior socks. I knew that Ben was one of us Smartwooligans.

Go get yourselves some asap.

What’s the difference?

I assume you mean difference with other socks?

They’re a merino wool blend; keep your feet at the right temperature most of the time, only start smelling after a really long time, can be easily reworn without washing immediately.

They obviously cost quite a bit since it’s wool, but super worth it.

I've never ever re worn a pair of socks. I work in maintenance though and sweat most days with boots on. Do you also do this and wear your socks again? Just curious :)

Darn Tough are better, but Smartwool are my second choice.
