    Point 6 are some of the better ones for durability, I think.

    I use the midweight crews for work, plus have half a dozen pair each of the lightweight version and shorter midweight minis, but my feet vote Smartwool PhDs over anything else for hiking.

    I rock the light hikers from icebreaker...latest version is amazing. I get them for $5 on STP when they run a sale.

    I had to buy a pair of socks recently for use in boots and got Wigwam wool socks. They seem comfortable and appear to be holding up in the areas lesser socks tend to start getting threadbare. Anyone have any experience with these?

    Unless Wigwams have changed lately, they are good work socks but I didn't find them at the same level as Darn Tuffs or smartwools for hiking . I expect like any company they can adjust the materials and production techniques to go upscale or downscale.
