Give your feet a little loving.
Photo: SmartwoolSocks often get overlooked. In fact, this soft piece of fabric is one of the most important pieces to any adventure.
Personally, I own nothing but Smartwool socks. I have a whole drawer full of dress socks, hiking socks, bike socks, running socks, and socks for life. Some women collect designer handbags while some men collect fancy wristwatches.
I collect socks.
One of my all time favorites is the Smartwool Adrenaline Light Mini which is the perfect combination running/biking/light-hiking/casual sock.
I own about ten pairs of these.
It’s a perfect blend of 67% merino wool, 32% nylon, and 1% elastic. The wool naturally wicks moisture away from feet while providing the added temperature control. The nylon provides the breathability we all desire out of a sock. The elastic offers support in critical areas: arch and heal.
So the next time those white cotton tube socks slow you down on your backpacking trip, spend the extra bucks and keep your feet happy.
Price: $16 | Where to buy: Smartwool

SmartWool’s the best. I’m wearing them right now. You can turn down the thermostat and still have toasty tootsies!

Yep, love those Smartwool. I am an even bigger fan of the socks now being made out of bamboo fibers that feel even softer than Smartwool. I’m using them on our RTW in Australia now and they are so comfortable.
