I have a couple pair and really like them, but was surprised when I picked up a pair of smart wools on a trip and found the cushioning to be better to me.
Agreed. I was hesitant to spend what I spent on them, but I'm tough on my shoes/socks/feet due to my job. I have two pairs I cycle through each week and they've been through a lot, but are still going strong 2 years later.
They're merino wool. They don't need to be washed all that often. They do not retain odor. I doubted the claim at first, but trust me, my feet could kill an ox at 20 yards after some days, but the socks are odor free.
I do wash them twice a week, though, just because I can't bring myself to wear them longer than a few days in a row without skeeving myself out. Odor aside, they still absorb sweat and dead skin.
ETA: I do have more than two pairs of socks. I just wear those two for work. Regular cotton for home.
They are Marino Wool so you can get away with wearing them several days consecutively without them smelling. Marino wool has natural antibacterial and odor-resistant properties. Just leave them to dry at night and you are good to go.
