Anlisim6 Pairs Merino Wool Ankle Running Hiking Socks Compression Support Breathable Thick Cushion No Show Socks for Women Men

I’ve been dealing with athletes foot for decades and using daily maintenance medication for longer than many people reading this have been alive. I generally don’t have any issues other than I always at least one or two nails that are cloudy and brittle. I’ve tried synthetic blends in the past but this just seemed to make things worse so I always go back to cotton.I was been reading about the benefits of wool so I thought I would try these socks. I had several clouded nails at the time but in just a few weeks of wearing wool socks I noted subtle improvements. At the time of writing this it has been over 4 months of wearing wool socks exclusively and all my nails are completely clear and healthy! I honestly can’t believe it since I haven’t had seen completely healthy nails since I was a teenager. I do continue to use daily antifungal maintenance medication but the only change has been the wool socks.I think part of the issue was the cotton socks being soaked with sweat when I took them off at the end of the day regardless of the season or activity levels. The wool socks, however, are usually dry. Even after taking them out of a hiking boot on a hot day on the trail they will feel damp but not soaked. Consequently, they dry out completely on a rock while taking a short break. By staying dry they don’t bind up and cause hot spots like cotton socks. That, and I think they just distribute the heat better than cotton and I wouldn’t be surprised if they are actually cooler on hot days. Of course, in cooler temps they are warmer and I did appreciate how much so until the other day when I wore some cotton socks that felt like I was wearing ice cubes on my feet when I was walking around my hard wood floors at the end of the day.With these particular wool ankle socks I did note a hole around the toes with a couple of the socks after a few washes. My experience with cotton socks is that even the smallest of holes will grow exponentially with each use and so I generally just discard them. At first, I was disappointed thinking that these socks would not last but it does not appear that the holes grow like cotton. In fact, I haven’t thrown one wool sock away. My eyes aren’t great at close distant but it seems like the holes I noticed disappeared. Even if they didn’t it doesn’t matter since they do not currently seem to be a problem. I haven’t had these socks long enough to notice any thinning at wear points like cotton socks but I suspect that since they don’t bind like cotton they are less prone to wear.I now have a dozen pairs of wool ankle socks and I’ve gotten in the habit of putting them in a separate bin for washing otherwise they end up getting tumble dried with the rest of the family’s close. They have been in drier a number of times and I suspect they look a little more aged as a result. If I wash them separately with other delicate items I just lay them out on the floor after washing since they aren’t noticeably wet after a spin cycle and they completely dry out overnight. At this point I would rather put on a pair of wool socks straight out of the washer then put on dry pair of cotton socks since the results would be the opposite at the end of the day.

Quick review. I just received these along with an order for white. White are being returned because they look like dirty water. The grey ones I’m keeping. Wore first pair yesterday and they were very comfortable all day! Not your typical smart wool sock. Not a lot of padding. Light weight. The material dosent look great but they were comfortable. I’m comparing to Smart Wool socks that I usually pay 20 for one pair. If these hold up I will buy more.Update. I have washed two pair after wearing for a day. Man wash. Didn’t pay attention if hot or cold, mixed in with other clothes. Full cycle in dryer. The shrunk ever so slightly and seem as good as new. I kinda expected threads coming out or really fuzzy. Nope. And as comfortable as first wear. Let’s see how they last in a year. For real. My other smart wools work socks have lasted 15 years! But, 20-25.00 a pair.Highly recommend.

After having these a few weeks, I have to say it's one of they best, " non brand " wool socks I've found! I've tried about 6 different brands on Amazon and it's by far the best deal for the price. I'm on a farm so I'm rough on my wool socks. I got tired of paying almost 20 bucks a pair for a .... "smart" brand. A few bucks more and I get 6 pairs with these.I now have these in ankle and quarter. As long as this company keeps the quality and decent prices, they have a customer for life! We'll done 👊

Very comfortable. They do seem to attract lint or pet hair on the floor a little more than "cotton" socks (most socks aren't really cotton these days), but not by much.Some of the pictures from other reviews make them look pulled after one wash, so I waited until I washed and dried them before this review. They came out looking and feeling good as new, so I'm not sure what was going on with those people's washers and dryers. Also, no holes. Time will tell how long these last, but I think of I get a year out of them, I'll be satisfied.Also, please pay attention to the sizing chart. I wear a size 10 sneaker and have fairly narrow feet. I can tell I'm at the end range for size medium, so if your feet a size 10.5 or larger get size large. You may want to consider large if you have wider feet, even if you wear a size 10.

I don’t usually write a review unless it is a 5 or 1 star. In this case they are definitely a 5 star. I have bought Darn Tough and Bomba socks and these are equal if not better than both. Both of the other brands use a lot of marketing. As a cost reduction consultant, why would anyone buy a pair of socks do $20+ when you can get 6 pairs for the price of one. They are very comfortable and your feet don’t sweat. We need more companies like Anlisim that care about quality and the customer first.

I’ve been wearing these Merino wool ankle socks for both running and hiking, and they’ve been fantastic. The blend of merino wool makes them incredibly soft and breathable, keeping my feet comfortable throughout long workouts and outdoor adventures. They manage moisture really well, which helps prevent any discomfort or blisters, even on warmer days.The fit is snug without being too tight, and the ankle length is perfect—providing support without being too high or low. After several washes, the socks have held up well, maintaining their softness and elasticity. The cushioning in the sole adds an extra layer of comfort, especially during longer runs or hikes.For anyone looking for socks that combine comfort, performance, and durability, these are an excellent choice. I’m definitely planning to buy more of these!

These are wool socks… but I’m not sure they’re merino wool…they are comfortable but run a little hot and the moisture wicking properties are subpar compared to other brands such as smart wool or darn tough, but you’re also getting 6 pairs of socks for the cost of one pair of darn toughs/smart wool socks.
