I have been using Wally world merino wool socks for a couple of years whitetail hunting and had been very happy until this summer getting ready for elk hunting and after 4-4 1/2 miles with a heavy pack I started getting hot spots on my feet. I then changed to UA coldgear merino wool blend socks and I couldn't believe how much better they were with no sore feet! Elk hunting in tough ground,down falls and up to 8 miles a day with a pack I love them. I'm sticking with these for a long time so I just bought 4 more pair.    Ben

i got good socks over here and they keep ya toes nice and warm when wet good old New Zealand wool socks.
