I can’t stand mine. I know they don’t cost as much, but there is no comparison to Darn Tough or Smart Wool socks. Don’t waste your money.

evvignesI have the socks that these were based on, the ISW Isolwool. I can't believe they went thinner and lighter with these, as the ISW's smooth, cushioned feel doesn't last. They were OK at first but later I went back to Darn Tough after the ISW's started giving me a blister 8 miles into a 35 mile hike, and I was wearing liners and using a friction-reducing powder. I recently did a 70 mile hike in worse terrain, much heavier pack, blister free in Darn Toughs. The original ISW's are good for casual, work, riding a bicycle, and I imagine these are the same, but less durable. The cushioning gets thin, uneven, and rough after a couple of trips to the mountains.

Brett919I wear Darn Tough/SmartWool (medium thickness) with ON Cloud shoes and I could not be happier. The combination is literally life changing. Thank you for your insight.
