Tempo Socks - Quarter

I love the fit and fabric. Please make a merino blend version and you can have all my money.

The socks are mostly cotton, not wool so the socks do not keep your feet warm. They are ok for summer riding. They have pretty good cushioning and seem well made, of good quality.

These durable socks provided all the comfort and practicality I needed during my twelve days on the GDMBR. Washed daily in cold rivers, dried nightly in a "less than warm" tent, then worn before sunrise while coffee brewed, I found myself impressed and, quite frankly, grateful that they were accompanying me. I credit SP for its selection of quality items and, in all humility, my good judgement to have purchased many of them!

Too tight. Hard to put on. Once on however the socks are comfortable.

I use Tempo Quarter Height socks for hiking as well as everyday wear with shorts. The contrasting pattern on the white socks is subtle, so they blend with any outfit. The most pleasing aspect of this sock is that it fits snug. Any movement of the foot inside the shoe is buffered by the layer of organic cotton, which breathes and vents well. The result, at least from what I experience, is no pressure points or risk of blisters because the socks are thick enough without being too thick and feel great as they form to the foot. Too often socks were snug but too thick or too thin. The Tempo sock is a happy fit that are my favorite for all-day adventures or casual outings that look great.
