The smartwool socks size chart is very comprehensive and clearly outlines the sizes of our favourite fabrics, from 100% cotton (aranthrope) to nylon and Spandex. The charts also indicate that sock features are best for what part of your body – for example the leg areas or footbed. All the details are laid out neatly in a simple to read format so you can make informed decisions before you buy.
For women there’s a special size for their slim waist areas. This is called the Slimmer Pocket (also available in plus sizes). For tall and petite women the largest measurement is in fact an inch or two smaller than the Canadian sizes described above – referred to as the Tall and Petite sizes.
And for men there’s a special size for their lower leg that is half an inch smaller than the Canadian sizes, again described as the Regular Fit Socks. For both genders the smartwool socks size chart lists an allowance of about two to three centimeters of fabric between the outside leg seam and the cuff. This gives the wearer ample room for flexibility and movement. Smartwool socks are made from the finest Merino wool socks.
