I recently turned from a 10 day remote alpine elk hunt in Idaho. A remarkable trip. We were carrying all our gear. I used two sets of socks rotating every other day. I never had a blemish or irritated area despite being wet and navigating steep heavy obstructed terrain.
These are the most comfortable socks I’ve ever worn. You can feel the comfort when I put them on. The toe area has a different padded area from the main body of the sock. This area gives added comfort from the ball to the toes. The heal and top (tongue/lace area) has padding also. The main body looks like it’s made for breathability. You can tell the difference in these socks just by rubbing your hands on them.
