If you redesign one of the most popular socks in the line you better come correct. Increased breathability with mesh panels on top of the foot, a new smooth ribbing upper that stays put forever, and extended cushion over the Achilles - just a few heavy additions to one of the lightest hike socks out there. Height: Micro Crew Weight: Lightweight Pair with: Hiking shoes, trail runners, fresh mountain air Details Men&';s micro crew socks average 8.5 in. from heel to cuff - expect them to show about 6 in. above a low hiking shoe or just above a standard hiking boot. A performance fit means no slipping, no bunching, no blisters for peak hiking comfort. Light Hiker socks have cushioning underfoot, atop the ankle, and up the Achilles to keep feet comfortable for miles and miles. Multi-zone mesh panels improve venting and flexibility, while reducing bulk and pressure points. Merino Wool is at home on the trail, naturally moving moisture to keep feet fresh and dry in all weather. Lightweight socks breathe naturally and deliver flexible, all-day comfort for summer hiking.

Unconditionally Guaranteed for Life - if these aren&';t the longest lasting socks you&';ve ever owned, return them for another pair.
