Hi Kanga - I saw the posts also, but no mention of place of manufacture. I have just ordered a pair of walking socks - made from - wait for it - "bamboo" !! I have a shirt that is part bamboo fabric and something els - might even be hemp. Cheers
I keep reading about smart wool socks. Alas, I have wool socks but I fear they are not the sharpest knives in the drawer. Or even the leading ram. How do you measure if a sock is smart? IQ tests? Or is it just a bit like "targeted pain relief"? Marketing spin?

How do you wear a highly intelligent sheep? Does the sheep sit still while you put it on? Do they actually walk on your behalf, kinda like that mechanical horse/pig/bull thing posted on here a couple weeks back?Made from Highly Intelligent Sheep. I wear them while hunting and while working in waterways wearing hip boots. Hold up very well and are warm.
- stick my foot in water and see what happens. .
Any comments?

Others may have different mileage (kilometerage?).
I try to grab them when there is a sale at REI. But, unlike so many of my synthetic running socks, they hold up amazingly. I'm still wearing pairs I bought more than four or five years ago!I find them outstanding. It isn't just about warmth - they provide great cushioning and, most importantly, move moisture away from your skin thereby reducing blisters. Only complaint is that they are fairly expensive.
SmartWool is a brand name, widely sold in the U.S. And on the internet. They're made of Merino wool.I keep reading about smart wool socks.
