The socks performed extremely well

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.
