These socks turned out to be a great choice, although at first I didn't think so at all. On the first day they seemed too tight, but by the very next day, after a bit of breaking in and taking them off and putting them on several times, they adjusted perfectly, even leaving a little extra room. It may be due to the high elastane content. I compared them with other trekking socks, Alpinus Valletto, which despite the wider size range (39-42 instead of 39-41) did not fit the foot very comfortably. The Bennons perform much better in this respect. Putting on a new, fresh pair is truly a pleasant experience. The socks are fairly thick and give the impression of protecting the foot well, but so far I have not yet noticed any clear thermoregulatory properties. My feet still get cold, although that may be because for now I use them mainly at home. Only a longer walk will show how they perform. Even when the foot gets sweaty, the sock still remains fairly neutral in terms of odour. Another plus is their sensible length. I am not fond of socks that reach halfway up the calf.
Long, lightweight socks featuring Merino wool, known for its thermoactive and hypoallergenic qualities. The fabric is breathable, dries swiftly, and prevents the development of unpleasant odors. Polyamide fibers and reinforcements in the lower section enhance resistance to abrasion and tearing, while the addition of elastane ensures a snug fit to the foot.
Flat, anatomically placed seams minimize the likelihood of skin chafing and irritation, and wide, elastic ribbing help keep the socks in place, preventing them from slipping and rolling.

The socks fit well size-wise and feel warm; foot length is 32 cm. We’ll see how long they last, and if possible, I’ll add to my comment. ....
