Smartwool responsibly sources the wool they use. Their Merino wool is ZQ-certified and made with recycled nylonmaking these socks more sustainable than ever. Thats why, as Smartwool likes to say, the Hike Full Cushion Crew Socks are socks you can feel good in AND about.
The Smartwool Story
Smartwool is a little ski-town brand founded by Peter and Patty Dukeski instructors who moved in 1994 from the East Coast to Steamboat, Colorado. That first year in Steamboat was the coldest my feet have ever been, Peter was quoted in an Outdoor Retailer article from 2017. I literally poured water out of my boots at the end of the day! A friend and I made some merino socks, and after that my feet were the warmest theyve ever been, and they were absolutely dry. Thats when the lightbulb went off.
These socks are made of biodegradable materials so that, when they DO eventually wear out, it only takes a few years before they totally decompose. The outdoors means everything to Smartwool since, like us, their whole existence is to help folks spend time outside. Thats why they practice ethical sourcing and sustainable manufacturing using natural and recycled wool. Their recycled nylon makes for a more sustainable sock construction as well!
