FOX RIVEROutdoor Wick Dry Alturas Ultra-Lightweight Liner Socks

I bought these socks before a now legendary hiking trip. I wore these socks along with some ankle socks and my KEEN Women's Gypsum WP Hiking Shoe, Raven/Baltic, 9 M US hiking shoes.We hiked into the Bankhead National Forest in the Sipsey Wilderness area. No trails at all, bring clippers to cut brambles and briars out of the way type of hike. Because there are only 10 people allowed per group in the Sipsey Wilderness, we broke up into two groups. The leader of our group wasn't as familiar with the area as he thought he was and we ended up wading about a mile up the wrong creek. When our mistake was discovered, we had to hike back out as quickly as possible, and ended up getting out of the forest as darkness was falling, thanks to the group member who had marked his car with a GPS location. I ended up with Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever from a tick bite and a torn calf muscle due to pushing on when I had a huge calf cramp while climbing a very steep section of hill. It was an adventure!Anyway, these socks performed very well. They allowed my feet to stay dry in the waterproof keen shoes (which made my feet sweat on a subsequent hike during which I did not wear these socks) and they prevented any rubbing so even though I hiked for eight hours, I did not get any blisters. Instead of my socked foot rubbing against the inside of my shoes, the two layers of socks (these and jogging type angle socks) rubbed against each other. My feet did not overheat, and the socks gave a very satisfactory performance. They worked really well after the creek wade when I had to swap out of water shoes back into my keen shoes. They were easy to get on my feet even though my feet were damp and I'm convinced these socks are the reason I escaped the wilderness without a blister.

Wicking socks for my grandson while skiing. They worked great!

This is my first interaction with the Fox River brand. My first impression has been the socks are finely woven, ultra-light, and gentle to the skin / tough. Size M - fit light like a glove. Can't wait to try them out on the trails.... I gave 4 stars based on my first impressions... Can't comment on durability at this stage.

A very nice and thin sock liner that will go a long way in keeping your feet warm in winter. If you wear these with even regular socks they will do the job.

These are awesome as a base wicking layer under wool socks or blister reducer hiking or rucking.I own dozens.

I loved these after I got several a few years ago. Great quality and I still use those same ones. I ordered four pair of these new ones and they’re nothing like the old ones. Way thinner, shorter, and not the quality they once were. The new ones are almost like pantry hose. I’ll have to look around for a new brand.

Great socks! They’re comfortable, lightweight, perfect fit and they don’t shrink after washing and drying.

These are so comfortable, look cute, are warm and thick. I would definitely buy these again - no sweating.
