What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:“These are my go-to socks for long ski days when I need warmth, control, and zero bunching. The zonal mesh and targeted cushioning feel dialed-in—especially underfoot and around the heel.”Smartwool’s Intraknit Ski Targeted Cushion OTC Socks are engineered to deliver performance-focused comfort on every descent. Blending the breathability of zonal mesh with the precision of targeted cushioning, these socks work as hard as we do on the slopes. Graduated cushioning zones reduce impact where it matters most, while a snug cuff and anatomical shaping help prevent bunching or friction inside our boots. The Merino blend manages moisture and odor during high-output days, and the heel and ankle zones get an extra boost of durability for long-term wear.
