Merino wool is a magical material. It’s a natural fiber that feels super soft, dries quickly, and fiercely resists stink. Unfortunately, it’s also typically very pricy. These REI Co-op socks typically cost $18 per pair, and while they’re worth it as a splurge, you can get them for $11.93 right now during REI’s clearance. If you’re going to do any running, hiking, or anything that involves spending lots of time on your feet this summer, this is worth grabbing.

REI Co-op

This is a tried-and-true summer sock. It’s made from Merino wool, so it’s soft to the touch, won’t blister, and dries extremely quickly if it gets wet. Only one colorway is currently on sale, but it’s a versatile washed blue that pretty much goes with everything. They’re reinforced in all the areas that take the hardest beatings, and they’re easy to wash after wearing. You’ll be spoiled for other socks.
