I have some reservations about these socks. The light variant is suitable for spring, summer, and partly autumn, as they are not too thick. Unfortunately, small holes appeared quite quickly on the toes, even though I don't use them every day—a few longer walks and the socks are already worn out. However, on the other hand, the price is attractive, so I’m giving four stars.

Merino wool
Merino wool (40%) provides thermoactive properties, efficiently wicking moisture away from the skin. The material also has antibacterial properties.

Merino Wool is a material with natural antibacterial properties. It is distinguished by the lightness and softness of its fibers, its ability to absorb moisture and its high thermoregulation. The wool does not absorb odors, is anti-static, breathable, easy to clean, fire-resistant, and protects against UV radiation.

The socks are very comfortable and perform great during longer walks. Merino really works – feet sweat less and stay dry even after several hours of wearing. The material seems durable, and the socks stay well in place on the leg. I think this is a successful purchase for this price.
-
I usually wear shoes size 43 and socks 42-44. So I picked this merino socks size 42-44 and they fit perfectly. Feel and sit very comfortable on foot. Can't say anything negative, will probably buy a pair or two more in the future.
-
The socks are very comfortable. While wearing them, they fit well to the foot, do not slip off, and do not fold over. Even after long walks, your feet stay dry. The only downside is the wear that appears on the toes (a mesh forms, but without holes) despite choosing the right size. Despite this, I am satisfied with the purchase.
-
Compared to other seasonal socks, I was surprised by their thickness. They keep you warm and are comfortable, so for this price, I think it's a good choice. After a month of frequent use, I have no complaints.
-
I rate the socks a solid four. They are best suited for spring or summer. At this price, I have no major complaints. A big advantage is their length – the upper part can be folded over the edge of the shoe, which helps prevent debris from getting inside while walking on difficult terrain.
-
After walking 10 kilometres on a spring day (around 15°C), blisters appeared on both feet in the same places. The socks do not work at all for long walks and the material feels very synthetic. I do not recommend this product.
-
The material is great, but they ripped within 5 days, and I was not even in the forest with them, they ripped at the front and sides of the socks which is unusual
-
Overall, everything matches the description, but the socks wore out quickly at the heels, and in two pairs a hole appeared at the toe. Admittedly, they are not big, but I can't say that I'm very satisfied.
-
The socks are okay, but for everyday use it's better to choose something more durable. For occasional wear, they work very well. They contain only 40% merino wool, but considering the price, that's understandable. The socks are thin and have quite a high cut. They are worth trying.
-
The socks are suitable for any season. They don't constrict, and the merino wool content is sufficient. The material is not too thick and dries quickly. The only downside is that they wear out relatively quickly.
-
This is already my next pair of Pentagon socks that I have purchased. This time I chose the merino wool model. They're not too thick and are very comfortable to wear. In my opinion, these are really good quality socks.
-
The workmanship is quite good, the material is comfortable and pleasant to the touch, but even the largest size turns out to be very narrow and puts a lot of pressure on the calf.
-
I am satisfied with these merino socks – they wick moisture well and dry quickly after washing. I recommend them for hiking, as feet stay in good condition and do not chafe, which is very important for me.
-
The socks performed well, even during an all-night shift at -16 degrees I didn't feel any discomfort. My feet didn't sweat, and the socks fit well. This isn't my first purchase of these socks, and I'll definitely come back to them.
