Dahlgren Alpaca Light Hiking Socks (For Women)

A little too warm for what I wanted (summer hikes), but I kept them because they are very comfortable.

easy care

These are hands down the BEST technical wool socks I have ever owned. Beats both my Icebreaker and Smartwool socks in terms of fit and durability. I use them when skiing cross country, which I have learned is awfully tough on my socks, I usually wear out one or two pairs of icebreaker/smartwool socks in one season. The season is over here now, I have mostly used these, and they are still looking almost new. Washes well. Hugs the feet and cushions in all the right places. I will get lighter socks for running, for sure. Icebreaker wins on looks, but these definately win on performance. And the price is better, too. I'm a beleiver. Note that it's possible that they run slightly big, I am a US size 10-11 and the M fits my long, narrow feet like a glove (or should I say sock?). Could imagine women with size 7 feet would experience some bulk in size M.

after a swish and a spin in the washer placed the socks on the counter to dry. Placed the remainder of the load in the dryer. Grabbed the socks to move to a drying rack and they were dry. I look forward to using them this summer when my feet get really sweaty.

Comfy And cute.

Great pair of socks! Used hiking and found no problems. My feet were dry and comfy all day long. Great product for the price! My feet are happy :)

Have had Dahlgren socks in the past and have been pleased w/durability and comfort. Hope these are the same. Nice color combination--grass green and brown. Cushioning was well placed and also has lycra support in arch. So far, so good.

Gave these to my wife as a gift because she was always snagging my pair when her feet got cold. I got her a couple of pairs and she loves them. They keep her feet warm when its cold and comfortable when it is warm. She loves the colors and the feel of the socks. They are soft and comforable. She wears them around the house barefoot and out on the town on those colder Chicago nights. Hands down better than a pair of cotton socks and way more versatile.

I've worn Dahlgren's for years. What a treat to find them at this price!

These are great socks-- I've only worn them a few times, but they are super soft. The alpaca makes them a bit slippery, which helps prevent friction inside my hiking boots. My husband has been wearing dahlgren socks for about a year and he loves them too.
