Buy the weight that matches the shoe you were fitted in. A thicker sock in a tight shoe creates the blister it was supposed to prevent. Carry a spare pair on overnights. The warranty is real and it is not an excuse to buy one pair for a thru-hike.

Who should buy it. Most hikers who want one reliable sock.

Best for. Everyday hiking socks with a warranty you might use

Standout limitation. Warm in hot weather if you buy the thick one
