Smartwool Unisex Hike Classic Edition Full Cushion 2nd Cut Crew Socks Deep Navy X-Large | Sustainable Merino Comfort

Step into a balance of comfort and responsibility with the Smartwool Unisex Hike Classic Edition Full Cushion 2nd Cut Crew Socks. These socks pair a plush full-cushion feel with a responsible material blend, designed for hikers, commuters, and everyday explorers who value durability and soft warmth. The 2nd Cut yarn is sourced from sock take-back programs and canister waste, turning older products and waste streams into fresh wearables. This thoughtful approach supports a more circular approach to textiles, while still delivering the warmth and breathability you expect from Merino wool.

Crafted with a 50/50 mix of recycled fibers and virgin Merino wool, these socks bring together sustainability and performance. The blend provides the soft, breathable feel of Merino against the skin, along with the robustness needed for longer wear on trails or busy days in the city. The flat knit toe seam minimizes irritation, so your feet stay comfortable from the moment you lace up to your cool-down at day's end. An elasticized arch brace helps secure the fit, reducing movement and keeping the sock in place as you move through varied terrains.
