Well, after the second day they stink. Less then one day of cotton socks, but they still stink. Not carry them in another room kind of stink, but enough to notice. My feet don’t itch and aren’t pruned. I’ll call it a win.
your feet stink because of your shoes not your socks. feet sweat no matter what sock or shoe you wear, and overnight isn't usually enough time to dry completely. really dry shoes do not harbor the bacteria that make your feet stink. get a boot/shoe dryer and use it everyday on whatever shoes you're wearing. it's good for your shoes to dry them completely every day, even better for your foot stank. I have two electric Peet boot dryers (have had them for 20 years, running effectively non-stop, so they last a long time), one of which was overtaken by the woman that lives here, and one that runs on a 1lb propane cylinder for traveling. your feet, socks and shoes will be happier than ever.

Best pair of socks I've ever owned. I've worn them 5 days in a row before they show signs of it.
Well my shipment of socks came in on Thursday. I ordered 4 pair total from Duluth Trading. All 4 are different styles. 1 pair is light weight mid calf with Copper. 1 pair is over the calf compression style. 1 pair is a short pair for tennis shoes. All of those are light weight. I also picked up 1 pair of heavier weight for cold weather. I have tried out all of the light weight pairs.
So far I have mixed reviews. I live the comfort and feel. I am pissed though that from here on I will be spending a lot more money on these things.
I blame you Dave by the way.

Well, I got four different pair today and will be wearing my first pair tomorrow...I’ve looked at the packaging and it doesn’t say anything about care. It is smart wool. Can you put it in the washer and dryer? I don’t want to turn a $20 pair of socks into a pair of baby socks.

I’ve been doing this for years, with many smart wool products. Really interested to see the response here.

I bought a bunch of wool socks at the end of last year off Amazon . They are Merino and I have no complaints . They say "Time may Tell " on the inside Arch . I bought them mainly for work but also wear them ice fishing and hunting .
2 things I read in here are things I do . Scent free anti persperant spray and polypropylene , or silk sock liners help alot .

Merino wool. Which from what little reading I just did is what smart wool socks are. From the smart wool website it says you can dry on low but they recommend air drying to save energy.
