Fox River Outdoor Wick Dry Alturas Ultra-Lightweight Liner Socks

I have been searching for decent socks for years. I use these as primary socks...not liners. These are really thin so your feet stay nice and cool. They are bomb proof. I walk at least 5 miles a day and they haven't gotten any wear marks, holes or snags, after a month's worth of walking. The elastic isn't tight, but they also don't bunch up or fall down. I have 2 cats and four rabbits, and these don't pick up any animal hair at all. I hate paying $11 for a pair of socks, but these are good enough that I ultimately ordered 24 pairs so I don't have to worry about wearing crappy socks again. It's amazing how something as seemingly insignificant as socks can have such an impact on your general comfort.

I bought these socks before a now legendary hiking trip. I wore these socks along with some ankle socks and my KEEN Women's Gypsum WP Hiking Shoe, Raven/Baltic, 9 M US hiking shoes. We hiked into the Bankhead National Forest in the Sipsey Wilderness area. No trails at all, bring clippers to cut brambles and briars out of the way type of hike. Because there are only 10 people allowed per group in the Sipsey Wilderness, we broke up into two groups. The leader of our group wasn't as familiar with the area as he thought he was and we ended up wading about a mile up the wrong creek. When our mistake was discovered, we had to hike back out as quickly as possible, and ended up getting out of the forest as darkness was falling, thanks to the group member who had marked his car with a GPS location. I ended up with Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever from a tick bite and a torn calf muscle due to pushing on when I had a huge calf cramp while climbing a very steep section of hill. It was an adventure! Anyway, these socks performed very well. They allowed my feet to stay dry in the waterproof keen shoes (which made my feet sweat on a subsequent hike during which I did not wear these socks) and they prevented any rubbing so even though I hiked for eight hours, I did not get any blisters. Instead of my socked foot rubbing against the inside of my shoes, the two layers of socks (these and jogging type angle socks) rubbed against each other. My feet did not overheat, and the socks gave a very satisfactory performance. They worked really well after the creek wade when I had to swap out of water shoes back into my keen shoes. They were easy to get on my feet even though my feet were damp and I'm convinced these socks are the reason I escaped the wilderness without a blister.

These Fox River socks appear to be well made, they fit comfortably, and seem to provide a good thermal/moisture barrier. But if the skin on your feet is rough (like mine), you may find they catch quite a bit. I found this a minor inconvenience... and something I'd likely encounter with any similar product. Just be aware you may not be able to just tug them on by grabbing the top and jamming your foot inside. And, once they're on, they feel great.

I use these over toe socks, really thin In*in*is. I have been able to avoid blisters this way. And I think/imagine it helps them last longer. These wick moisture very effectively. They are very thin but durable polypro. Dry very quickly. Can wholeheartedly recommend.

If you are looking for a "silky" feeling sock that still has good wicking properties, this is it! Love it

Great liners, quite pricey. They really are not wearing as well as they did prior years. See photo for the evidence. I am still buying them because they all kind of suck in terms of quality and these are the best of the worst.

Just used these on a backpacking trip, and indeed, when I used these in conjunction with wool outer socks, they performed. At no point did I get hot spots on my feet, and temperature was well regulated. They felt great, and were very comfortable. I'm convinced that sock liners are a must for miles, and I'm glad to buy from a made in USA source. Thanks!

Saved me from lots of blisters during long hikes. This is basically a sock liner made of hose, don't expect any thickness.

Used these socks inside the main pair of hiking socks on an expedition. I believe they saved me from getting blisters and are a great product. Good quality and a comfortable fit. I didn't think they were especially warm on their own but as liners, that's not their job. The only problem was not buying enough for me to have a fresh pair each day - live and learn...!

Le produit est très bon pour mes besoins . Mais un peu dispendieux. Fait bien le travail de liner! Garde les pieds au sec.

No hay roces y trabaja perfecto con calcetines de merino, no se siente la división entre ambas capas.

Bought new hikers and broke them in on several day hikes, but then after a four day trek, I realized they were slightly oversized - by the end of the first day on the trail, blisters were forming, and 63 km later my feet were covered in blisters! I bought these socks and tried them out on my next multi-day trek and I had absolutely no issues! 100% recommend for blister prevention.

Wie immer Klasse von Foxriver
