Discover the Comfort & Sustainability of Smartwool
Whether you’re hitting the trails, skiing down the slopes, or simply enjoying a cozy day indoors, Smartwool has something for everyone. John’s Run/Walk Shop is proud to offer a wide selection of Smartwool products, a brand known for blending performance, comfort, and sustainability into high-quality Merino wool apparel.
The Comfort of Merino Wool
Smartwool has built a reputation for creating premium products that keep you warm in the cold and cool in the heat.
The secret? Merino wool—a natural fiber that’s soft, moisture-wicking, odor-resistant, and breathable. This makes it the perfect material for a wide range of outdoor and everyday wear.
Merino wool socks are a Smartwool staple, and for good reason. Whether you’re hiking, biking, running, or lounging at home, these socks deliver on both comfort and performance.
They provide exceptional cushioning and are designed to prevent blisters, keeping your feet happy during long adventures. Their moisture management means you’ll stay dry, even after hours of activity, while the odor resistance ensures you can wear them multiple times without worry.
We carry a variety of Smartwool sock options, including:
Hiking socks: Extra cushioning and durability for rugged terrains
Running socks: Lightweight and breathable, with support in all the right places
Casual socks: Everyday comfort with a stylish edge
Beyond socks
Smartwool also offers a full lineup of apparel to keep you comfortable from head to toe. Their base layers are perfect for skiing, camping, or any other chilly weather activity. Their lightweight hooded sweatshirts are great options for fall in Kentucky when it gets chilly but not cold enough for a heavy sweatshirt.
Core Values: Sustainability and Responsibility
One of the reasons Smartwool is a favorite among outdoor enthusiasts is their commitment to sustainability. They prioritize ethical sourcing of Merino wool, a regenerative fiber. It’s made up of proteins and amino acids and naturally breaks down in water and soil.
Smartwool’s dedication to quality is mirrored in their desire to create long-lasting products that won’t wear out quickly, reducing the need for frequent replacements. When you buy Smartwool, you’re investing in gear that will last … that’s better for both your wallet and the planet.
Smartwool Second Cut™ Program: Circularity in Action
Sustainability is a priority for us at John’s Run/Walk Shop, which is why we participate in the Smartwool Second Cut™ program. Through this program, Smartwool invites customers to give old Smartwool products a second life. This initiative focuses on recycling used garments and diverting them from landfills.
Each spring, we set up Second Cut™ collection bins at our stores so that you can drop off your old socks to be transformed into new, useful materials. This circular approach to fashion means fewer textiles in landfills and more responsible use of natural resources.
