Smartwool Performance Run Zero Cushion Mid Crew

Smartwool Run Zero Cushion Sock Review

If you want an idyllic and secure fit in an ultralight quick-drying chassis, choose the Smartwool Run Zero Cushion Socks (shop now). This model is Smartwool’s most minimalist sock, and it’s perfect for reducing foot sweat on hot days. Thanks to Smartwool’s “4 Degree” elite fit system, these socks never bunch, sag over the ankles, or fail to give anything less than a perfect fit.

While this merino blend sock lacks cushion, it is reinforced with tougher nylon fabrics at the toes and heel to increase the durability and lifespan of the socks. Zonal mesh on the upper further increases breathability. We recommend these socks highly if you are already confident in the fit and feel of your trail running shoes and know there aren’t hot spots.
