The Point6 Outdoor Tech Medium Cushion Mini “feels delicious on my feet,” reported our tester after wearing these woolies on hikes in Vermont’s Green Mountains. The Outdoor Tech sandwiches a layer of nylon between two layers of merino to create a sock that holds its shape while delivering all-day cushion and moisture control. $18; point6.com
