RTZATRTZAT Merino Wool Ankle Running Socks for Men and Women - Moisture-Wicking, Breathable, Arch Support, Year-Round Wear

I just recently started seeing articles and videos touting the praises of merino wool as an all-weather material, since it helps you stay warm in the cold and cool in the heat. When I ran across these 50% merino wool socks, I jumped on the opportunity to try them out.It's summer where I am, and we're actually in the middle of a fairly long hot spell of 90+F (daily highs) weather for over a week. So, this was a perfect time to see how well these perform in the heat. Since they are ankle-length socks, I don't plan to wear them in cold weather, so I'm not as concerned about how well it would work in the winter. My feet do tend to get a bit sweaty after wearing socks for hours in 80+F weather, so I wasn't sure how these would do.After a few days, I can happily say that these socks delivered better than I expected. They felt soft and lightweight when I put them on. I got them in Large (based on the size chart) for my US men's size 9-1/2 feet, and they fit really well. In general, they just immediately felt more comfortable than any of the socks I usually buy at Costco. Best of all, adding to the comfort level was the fact that my feet never felt sweaty or damp walking around outside (in shoes) with these socks even when other parts of my body were sweating like crazy. :)These socks are even marked with "L" and "R" to indicate which foot to put them on...the OCD part of me appreciated this, and I think this would also help to maintain a good fit over time. Now, at $27 for 5 pairs, this is definitely more expensive than the socks I get from Costco, but based on my experience with them so far, they are worth that extra cost. Don't get me wrong, the socks from Costco are what I would consider at least above average quality, but none of them have ever had the moisture-wicking and temperature regulating properties these socks have.

Comfy casual business socks for sure! Feel premium and stay in place on my feet really nicely.Great colors (I ordered the multi-color set). You can tell they are a natural ingredient because they feel thick without actually being ticket than polyester or cotton socks.The little "L" and "R" on each sock is extremely appreciated!!!The extra elastic around the mid-foot grips your foot nicely and is actually wonderful for wearing with my work shoes because it keeps the sock from sliding around during the day.

These are really comfy, not too tight but hold their shape, and they fit true to size. These are a wool blend, specifically 50% wool, 30% acrylic, 10% nylon, 8% polyester and 2% spandex. They are medium weight, good for wearing with casual walking shoes or light hikers. They have the L/R on them like my premium socks do. I got the multicolor pack and the only thing to note is that the white is more of an off white than a bright white. I wore these to walk a few miles and they were comfortable and stayed put. No slipping, no rough seams. If these fall apart or I have any issues I will update this review.

Although these socks are not 100% wool, I found them to be comfortable and odor-free, despite wearing for several days worth of workouts. The colors are pretty standard and rather subdued, but the functionality and comfort make these excellent for multiple days of wear!
