    I can't remember how many pairs of these I've ordered since the low-cut version was introduced. A bunch.

    They are a literal perfect fit for my Redback steel toed workboots which I wear every day to work..... then usually put back on to go out when I get home.

    Spring through fall, these are my 6 days a week socks, replaced only on the rare day when I throw on sneaks for some other task. Come winter, they get replaced with Hiker GX full height socks.

    I've worn many brands and types of merino socks over the years, but these are by far the best solution for warm dry feet and socks that take a beating, yet manage to last a long time at work for me.

    As you probably realize it is quite difficult to photograph one’s socks while hidden in one’s hiking boots, so I thought you might like to my “Hiker GX’s” relaxing with their bigger brothers after a relaxing bath in the washing machine. They are presently enjoying traipsing around the Cotswolds in the UK.
    Next week back to Canada and their local Niagara trails.

    Such a comfortable and cozy sock. Love them year round.

    Got 3 pairs: Black, Olive and Navy (look grey to me).
    Fit and comfort are perfect; not too tight around the foot and plush enough. Size is perfect, I wear 9-1/2 shoes and L is right on. I have competitors socks (D.T.) and they're too tight around the foot and "pull back" on my toes which these don't do.
    After 5 days of wear, the Navy ones show some fuzzing around the ankles and very small "blowouts" on the sides. The other 2 pairs got to see the same wear without any hiccups. Too early to talk about durability but hope they do not loose the Merino wool in small clumps as the D.T. have done after a few weeks.

    My husband can't live without these socks. He often ask for another laundry to be done so he can wear them quicker. We purchase more of these this year!

    I had ordered a variety of socks to try and these were my favourite. Perfect thickness. Perfect height to wear with my boots.

    Duffy, my wooly Standard Poodle and I both have something in common when we go outdoors for adventure - we both have amazing wool on our feet and are super happy with the warmth and comfort! Looooove these Sox! Thank you.

    Super comfy Sox! Bought these due to superior fibre blend (no polyester) and am happy with the fit and softness. Pic shows my dog and I resting after a hike. Both of us with happy feet!

    I really like the socks.. They are durable and a bargain. But, it would be nice to have some thinner options from J.B. Field... While I wear them 12 months a year, they are a bit warm for the summer.

    The Hiker GX are my favourite socks. I have several pairs and use them hiking in summer and as my everyday winter socks. They are comfortable and supportive without bulk and long lasting. This is my first pair of the shorty version.
    They fit smaller though than most J.B. Fields, so size-up. The Large (says mens 8~12) fit my 9.5 feet perfectly. I cannot see them fitting someone with size 11, 12.

    Honestly, in the the past socks were never all that important to me and I used to just buy half decent pairs from Mark's locally. I kept seeing ads on FB tho and I was intrigued. Now being a senior with foot pain and neuropathy almost constant, I took a chance last year on the full length hiking socks. They provided enough comfort for me to keep walking daily and I loved the color (black, which is actually a pleasing mixture of shades of grey). I loved them so much I recently got the 1/4 length sock to go with shorts in summer. Pretty much the same in all regards except shorter length. Actually not even sure whether I even need full length socks anymore. Not sure how long they will last but no issues yet and if I ever do need replacements ... these are now going to be my go to socks from now forward. Thanks Great Sox!

    My only peeve is they have a tendency to camoflauge themselves with other laundry (I don't use dryer sheets) and try to escape frequently. So be aware :)

    I recently purchased a number of different styles of J.B. Field's socks. These ones get 5 stars because they are well padded, stay up without being too tight and are warm without being too warm. If I could, I would take off half a star as the stitching on the toe area can bunch up a bit if the sock twists a little on your foot. I can usually solve the issue with a quick adjustment but I did have to take off my winter boots, adjust the sock, and put my boots back on a few times this winter before heading out for a walk. One thing to note about all the J.B. Field's socks I purchased is that while my shoe size is 9, I definitely need a medium in the sock. The top shoe size for medium is 9, the bottom shoe size for large is 9, but when I ordered some socks in large they were much too loose on my foot. Also, washing does not cause the socks to shrink so the large were too loose even after being washed. I gave the large socks to my husband and ordered medium thereafter.

    My husband has large calves and has always struggled with Sox being too tight. He loves these shorter sox. The merino wool is moisture wicking and comfortable.

    Very comfortable high quality socks purchased for my European trip. Had previously learned that cheap un padded sock and cobble stone roads aren't a good combo. Foot comfort = happy traveler.
