"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""I picked these up for a young hiker in my family and the merino blend has held up well through full days outside without any complaints about sweaty or uncomfortable feet. The crew height stays put through running and scrambling, which is more than I can say for a lot of kids' socks at this price point.""Trail days, playground sprints, and everything in between put kids' socks through a serious workout. The Smartwool Hike Light Cushion Striped Crew Sock is built for exactly that kind of active day, combining a merino wool blend with just enough cushioning to keep young feet comfortable from the first mile to the last tumble on the grass. Merino wool naturally resists odor and regulates temperature, so the sock stays fresh whether the day calls for a shaded forest hike or a sun-baked afternoon at the park. Light cushioning softens impact underfoot without making the sock feel thick inside a shoe, and the crew height stays in place through all the running and scrambling that comes with being a kid outside. Made from a partially recycled blend and backed by a two-year warranty, the Striped Crew Sock is a reliable everyday pick that earns its place in the rotation."
