The Hiker Micro Crew was not the first sock we ever knit (that was a run sock), but it is by far our most popular. Once their comfort, durability, and fit became a thru-hike staple, we never had to stop knitting them. So, when we had some midweight yarns in overstock - raw material inventory with no future in sight - we figured our best women&';s hiking socks were a great place to see if we could use it up before we recycle. And dang, the colors hit. Limited offering, but still guaranteed for life. Women&';s micro crew socks average 7.5 in. from heel to cuff - expect them to show about 5 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. These limited edition socks are knit with overstock yarns - using up leftovers to create ultra unique designs and keep raw materials out of the waste stream. Reinforced footbed and Achilles cushion improves the comfort of our socks and helps them last longer. Merino Wool is at home on the trail, naturally moving moisture to keep feet fresh and dry in all weather. Our all-season weight, midweight socks thermoregulate to wrap feet in steady comfort when temperatures change. The "still" in Still Made in Vermont, USA is personal. We knit all our socks at our VT-based Mills - we can&';t imagine it any other way. Unconditionally Guaranteed for Life - if these aren&';t the longest lasting socks you&';ve ever owned, return them for another pair.
