Merino Wool Sock Review, from SAMS Club, Omni Wool
Editor: Mike
Just the Facts:
Sams club 3 pack of Merino Wool socks
Made by Omni Wool
Story:
I love to wear Merino Wool sock. In fact my like of wool socks has gotten so out of control that I am wearing them every day, not just for hiking, and hunting.
Merino Wool does several things that are really important to me:
-It wicks moisture, keeping your feet from getting soggy
-They compact and give cushion, but rebound like no other material, keeping them good for years of use
-They are warm, but not hot.
I am high on Merino wool socks, and very high on the OMNI Wool socks from SAMS club.
I have spent over $20 on a single pair of socks on several occasion, ok I am a sucker. The Sams club pack
of 3 socks can be purchased for $14.98. That is a heck of a deal.
I have used these socks now for a couple of years. I have worn them in Utah, Wyoming, and Idaho, on a variety of hunts.
I have found them to be very durable, very comfortable, and very affordable.
Socks can occasionally wear at the top of the heal, when this happens, there is a high probability of blistering in that area. The OMNI Wool socks have not shown any sign of this.
This pair of socks is a mid weight sock, which I like. It gives me enough cushion without being so thick that I cannot feel my foot.
Overall, this is just a great sock, at an outstanding price. I highly recommend them to anyone that hikes, hunts, or just likes kicking it in a comfy sock.

I am not the hiker, but I do walk and ride a bicycle a bit. I have had problems with my feet being cold and or sweaty. I walked a bout 2.5 mile during lunch today mostly uphill and it is about 38 degrees outside. My feet did not get cold and did not get sweaty with these socks. They did give good cushion and I am thrilled with them. I’m going to get myself a few more of these Omni wool socks.
that is great feedback thanks! and for 14 for 3 pair, hard to beat.
I love these socks. They fit so well and never slide down. They keep your feet warm and dry. However, there is a flaw in the reinforced heel. On the underside near the arch of your foot they wear badly and pull apart. Eventually a hole appears. I have tried to mend them, but the mended area is irritating to walk on. They need to put as much material on the heel reinforcement as they do on the top of the sock. I hope this is corrected as I want to continue to buy them.
I agree w/ this comment.
I have been a hunter, camper, hiker ect for 30 plus years. I am a retired Sheriff’s Deputy. I have spent literally thousands of mins and hours in light to heavy boots. Along with all the miles in hunting boots. My point is the shoes/boots. Are only as good as the socks that separate foot from boot. These socks are perfect, indoors or outside. I could say more, but I’ve already took up enough time. All is good, except the same problem as stated above. The heel area is not reinforced enough toward the toes or the area covering the heel area. Thanks….
Up here in Duluth, MN, the winters are cold and people wear wool socks on a daily basis. I love the Omni wool sock, but I can’t find them in size small for my wife. Do you make size small wool socks?
Sams and Costco both carry a womens wool sock that we quite like.
