The targeted cushioning on these is no joke — my heels felt fine after a full day of switchbacks and scree. The crew height kept grit out of my boots too, which I didn't expect to matter as much as it did.
The crew height is nice and the print is fun, but after a couple of long hikes the cushioning under the heel already feels flatter than day one. Decent trail socks, just not sure they'll hold up for a full season.
