I live at 8,300' in Colorado. I'm a volunteer firefighter, and sawyer, and run plows and tractors in the winter. In other words, I spend a lot of time outside, typically in boots. Rohner makes the best socks. Cotton may feel cooler than wool, but once your feet start to sweat, it gets wet, and you've got blisters. Wool has natural lanolin, which reduces friction. I probably buy about half a dozen pair of these a year, and have done that for at least five years. They last a long time, but eventually will wear out. If your boots fit, the socks last much longer. If you're slipping around, you'll wear out any sock. I wear them in everything from a Merrell sneaker to a full blown La Sportiva hiking boot.
I NEVER put them in the dryer, but hang them to dry.

Best Uses:
Backpacking, Hiking

Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: This sock is very comfortable with a lot of cushion. It does make my hiking boots feel a little snug but it does not rub anywhere. I thought it was a good value.

Pros:
Comfortable, Durable
Describe Yourself:
Avid Adventurer
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: This product retains heat so well that after only three hours of wear my feet feel like I have been wading. Too hot for use in South Carolina Summers, but certainly good for use in colder months. The footbed is very well paddes, but adds bulk to the foot, requiring boots to be adjusted to accomodate the larger size. I failed to adequately adjust a boot for fit while wearing the sock and was plagued by foot/leg pain and poor circulation until I finally "got it Right." Then the next day I had to refit my boot because I was wearing a less bulky sock. A pain, but minor inconvenience.
By Big G from Boston on 6/16/2008
Cons:
feels somewhat shoddy, Wears Quickly
Describe Yourself:
Casual/ Recreational
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: The socks were ok but vastly overrated. If you can get them at a good price - and I mean a very good price - the rating would be better. The quality didn't seem to be as good as other socks such as Thorlo, for example.
