When you want a crew with 72% merino and mapped padding

Keep in mind: The padding sits at the heel, toe and bottom of the foot. Compare full cushioning if you want padding around the whole foot.

Facts from
REI Co-op’s US site

Cushion and weight labels are this brand’s own terms. They are not a shared thickness or temperature rating.

Check the size and the shoe together

Start with the unisex chart for this exact model. Use the size lookup or the whole REI Co-op size chart to find the published range, then check the heel position, toe room and cuff in your footwear.

The maker does not give a heel-to-cuff measurement. Try the socks with your boots to see whether the cuff sits above the collar. See how sock heights differ.

Try the selected size with the shoes and insoles you plan to use. Added cushioning should not crowd the toes or distort the heel position. The footwear-fit checklist explains what to check.

Care for the exact pair

Mountain Merino C10726 allows cold or warm machine washing and low tumble drying. Do not bleach or use fabric softener.

Use the care lookup for this model’s wash and dry directions. A general wool routine should not override instructions for a membrane, a two-layer construction or a specific treatment.

Another sock to compare

Both constructions contain animal fiber (wool or alpaca). Padding: “light cushion” on both, as each brand defines it; check each brand’s size chart.

Smartwool Hike Mountain Range Crew Light Cushion, SW001615 uses its own size chart. Compare the two socks to see where their height, material, cushioning and care differ. Matching specs don’t mean they will feel the same in your shoes.
