Review: Minus33 Crew Socks

Socks don’t usually get much attention—until you’re ten miles deep with blisters. Minus33’s Mountain Heritage Micro Weight Full Cushion Crews earn their keep with a Merino wool blend that’s breathable, moisture-wicking, and surprisingly durable.

I tested them on hikes in the Bridgers and cool mornings bouldering in Hyalite. They held shape, stayed dry, and offered just the right amount of cushion for long days in boots. The snug fit prevents bunching without cutting circulation, and they dried quickly after creek crossings.

They’re not paper-thin, despite the “micro weight” label, but that bit of extra padding pays off in comfort. At $18.99, they’re a worthwhile splurge for anyone who demands more from their socks. Bottom line: comfortable, tough, and trail-ready, these are socks you’ll actually notice (in a good way).
