smartwool Womens Walking Socks

Smartwool Women's Walking Socks are perfect for season round hiking, treks and casual wear and their range can be split into two; Hiking socks and PhD socks. Both can be purchased in Light, Medium and Extra Heavy which indicates how cushioned they are. The more cushioned the better they are for longer and colder walks. So, if you're doing a winter walk or a long, winter hike we'd recommend you take a look at the Hiking Heavy, PhD Outdoor Heavy or Mountaineering Extra Heavy socks. For hot days and short walks take a look at the new PhD Approach, PhD Outdoor Light or the Hiking Light walking socks. Women's PhD walking socks from Smartwool are higher tech than the traditional Hiking collection and include some great features including Indestructawool for durability, 4Degree elite fit system to keep the sock in place and mesh zones for ventilation, wicking and temperature regulation. Smartwool women's walking socks are made from a high percentage of merino wool depending on the style of sock making them durable and naturally antibacterial so that odour is kept under control. Hiking socks have a higher percentage of merino wool than the PhD equivalent and use WOW which is a wool on wool construction in high wear areas to improve durability.
