My personal review is based on my experiences during two deployments and one training exercise.
I am a first responder and work in emergency medical services therefore regions (environments) I work in are frequently changing.
In this case, I took up a volunteer position to serve in Puerto Rico, high humidity and temperatures exceeding upper 80s meant traveling LIGHT especially through the rural/mountainous areas. My feet were bound to take a heavy beating on 12-16hr shifts
There were times when I didn't have access to a laundry facility and literally wore one pair straight (airing out at night) by day 5 the socks only started to vaguely smell. I could have switched to a fresh pair but I wanted to push and see how well these socks would last under extreme conditions. SOmetimes basic necessities like laundry and water aren't always readily available. I am thankful I had these socks...
I ordered the Size: Large ( I wear a Men's 8W / EU 41 Boot) These fit me well.
Style Name: Style KL Mix Color
Pros:
Well padded and comfy. I felt like I was walking on clouds inside my boots.
Enough support and compression in all the right spots.
Wicked the sweat well. Kept my feet dry during sweaty days and warm during colder evenings. While flying these were amazing, my feet normally go numb, these socks helped to regulate the temperature while in the air. When I landed, no sore feet or discomfort. I literally hit the ground running HAHAHA ;)
I received my item in less than 48hrs after placing my order.
A big selling point for me was the price and great value of receiving 3 pairs. Other brands, normally cost the same and you only get one pair!!!
Overall the quality,size and performance far exceeded my expectations.
Cons:
This isn't really a CON. More a recommendation. These socks are better washed by hand and air dried. I did wash them in the tub on gentle, they got a little fuzzy. I reckon to prolong the life of these socks, just hand wash them and air dry :)
Conclusion:
Other volunteers and first responders commented on my socks and while others were showing off their 5.11 and UA socks etc, here I am, no blisters, cool as a cucumber with my bargain unknown brand quality socks. Just goes to show, sometimes the "underdog" brand comes out on top.
As a first responder I am always trying out new gear in the field. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't NO Bullsh**. Given that feet are normally the first to fatigue during an operation. Having a good pair of boots and socks makes all the difference, not only in personal performance/wellness but also public service delivery. I had a really good experience using these socks for the first time, therefore I highly recommend Meriwool socks...for the hiker, the outdoors person, the first responder... or just someone who wants to get a quality pair (3 Pairs in fact) at a reasonable cost.
UPDATE 07/09 - After redeployment to Weslaco, TX (Flood Response)
High humidity and temperatures exceeding 100F+ these socks paired with my SWAT Boots protected my feet. No blisters, no raw feet nor sores. Thick enough to deter the mosquitos. (We were located in a Zika region) Provided enough cushioning and wicked away the sweat very well during 12hr days of mucking out. Socks have faded slights after a few wash cycles, no holes or tears. They passed the sniff test on a few occasions. I added another two photos...
So far so good.

I am sharing my feedback because not all of us can afford fancy brands especially since I am a volunteer, it’s great to try out products that work in the field that don’t cost an arm and a leg...

Features & Benefits
Odorless Merino Wool Socks
Merino wool isn’t prone to absorbing odors. Merino wool ability to absorb moisture keeps the skin drier, so the microbes don’t find as much moisture in which to grow. It’s texture and subatomic charge is different from synthetics, so it doesn’t tend to attract bad odors.

Why Merino Wool?
Adaptive Clothing
Unlike other materials, Merino wool is a reactive material that adapts to your body's temperature. It regulates so that you are never too hot or cold in any weather.
Naturally Warm
Originating from Merino sheep from Australia that endure temperatures as low as 5 degrees, Merino wool is a lightweight, naturally warm fiber.
Itch-Free
Unlike regular wool fiber that is heavy, coarse, and itchy, Merino wool actually has thinner, finer fibers that make it soft to the touch and cause no irritation to the skin.
Ultra Soft
Merino’s fibers are much smaller in diameter than other wool which gives the fibers the ability to bend softly with increased flexibility. The result? Soft to the touch.
