Knee-high ski socks for warm, protected days on the slopes
These knee-high Smartwool ski socks are made for skiing, with padding throughout the sock to keep feet warm and cushioned from impacts. The merino wool and recycled nylon blend wicks moisture and controls odour, while a performance fit system with mesh zones promotes breathability and helps protect against blisters.[1]
Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Tricolour Skier Pattern Knee-High Ski Socks Contains 56% Merino Wool: Choose this if you want a knee-high ski sock with all-over padding that keeps feet warm and protected from impacts on the slopes. The merino wool and recycled nylon blend (56% merino wool, 42% nylon, 2% elastane) wicks moisture and controls odour, while the 4 Degree Elite Fit System adds breathable mesh zones, blister protection, and Indestructawool durability plus a flat Virtually Seamless toe. It comes in Light Grey with a skier motif in Medium and Large sizes, so it suits skiers wanting cushioning and a patterned look rather than a plain sock.[1] | Solid Merino Wool Socks: Choose these crew-length socks if you want a fine-knit merino wool blend (52% merino wool with recycled nylon and spandex) that wicks moisture, regulates temperature, and resists odour — one customer reports wearing them several days before they start to smell. The elastic edging is designed to stay up without squeezing too hard, according to that wearer, and they come in medium (shoe sizes 6 to 8.5) and large (shoe sizes 9 to 11.5) in four solid colors. Note that one customer with a long, narrow foot found the size chart alone left the socks feeling too short and was happier after sizing up.[2,3,4,5] | Striped Merino Wool Socks: Choose this for everyday crew socks if you want merino's comfort perks: the wool blend wicks moisture and is described as temperature-regulating and anti-odour, with elastic edging to help the socks stay up. The Simons listing gives a composition of 50% merino wool, 47% nylon and 3% spandex (Smartwool's own page lists 62% merino, 36% nylon, 2% elastane), and the socks come in Patterned Ecru with horizontal stripes, in Medium for shoe sizes 6 to 8.5 and Large for 9 to 11.5. As a Smartwool product, they come with the brand's 100% satisfaction guarantee and use merino fiber primarily from New Zealand, though note they have a visible knit toe seam rather than a seamless toe.[6,7,8,9] |
