These socks are a bullseye, although I didn’t think so on the first day. At first, they seemed too tight to me, but already the next day, after breaking them in and taking them off and putting them on many times, they turned out to fit perfectly with a slight looseness. Perhaps that’s thanks to the above-average amount of elastane? I compared them with other trekking socks (Alpinus Valletto), which, even though they came in a wider size range (39–42 instead of 39–41), clung to the foot unpleasantly. The Bennons, on the other hand, are just right. Putting on a fresh pair is pure pleasure. The socks are quite thick and give a sense of protection, but I still don’t feel those thermoregulatory properties. My feet are still cold; perhaps that’s because for now I’m sitting at home. We’ll see how they perform during a long walk. Even when the foot sweats, the sock remains fairly odor-neutral. Another plus is the sensible length. I don’t like long socks that cover half the calf.
