Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Fair Isle Merino Crew Socks Everyday Cozy: Choose this if you want cozy everyday crew socks with a merino wool blend (67 percent merino wool, 32 percent nylon, 1 percent elastane) that knit up breathable, moisture-wicking, and anti-odour, with a secure fit, light underfoot cushioning, and elastic edging for all-day comfort. The Fair Isle patterned bands in olive, cream, rust, and black with contrasting charcoal heel and toe suit anyone who wants visible pattern rather than a plain sock, and Charcoal is offered in medium and large sizes. Note this is a blend rather than 100 percent merino wool.[1,2] | Solid Merino Wool Socks: Choose this if you want a crew-length sock with temperature-regulating, moisture-wicking, and anti-odour properties, built from a fine knit of 52% merino wool, 31% recycled nylon, 13% nylon, and 4% spandex with elastic edging; one wearer reports they stay up without squeezing too hard. One customer with a long, narrow foot found the size chart ran too short and was much happier after going up a size, so consider sizing up if that fits you. They come in medium (shoe sizes 6 to 8.5) and large (shoe sizes 9 to 11.5), in black, charcoal, chocolate/espresso, and navy/midnight blue.[3,4,5] | Striped Merino Wool Socks: Choose these crew-length striped socks if you want a fine-knit merino wool blend (listed as 50% merino wool, 47% nylon, 3% spandex) with moisture-wicking, temperature-regulating, and anti-odour properties for everyday wear. They feature elastic edging, horizontal stripes in neutral and warm tones on a light heather gray base, and come in Medium (shoe sizes 6 to 8.5) or Large (shoe sizes 9 to 11.5). Smartwool primarily sources its Merino fiber from New Zealand and backs its socks with a 100% satisfaction guarantee.[6,7,8] |
