The socks performed extremely well

I came across the eXtreme socks while searching on-line for quality hiking socks for an upcoming trek in Uganda. This ten day trek will be quite demanding, over varying terrains and through varying climate zones and it will be important to have reliable hiking socks that are both warm for the alpine mountain section and successfully wick away moisture through the more temperate regions. I recently wore the socks, along with a pair of wick dry liners, on a three day pack walk through the western Blue Mountains. The socks performed extremely well, with the liners helping to avoid blisters. After washing, the socks bounced back well and I have worn them on more local walks since. At the time that I bought the eXtreme socks I also bought a pair of cheaper socks (wigwam) and found these to be of a very loose knit which made for an uncomfortable walking experience. The eXtreme socks are a little more expensive than other brands, but in my view having comfortable feet on a long hike makes them well worth the price.
