Smart Wool |
Smart wool was born with comfortable performance in mind. Our founders were New England ski instructors struggling to keep their feet warm. After trying of variety of material, they rediscovered an age-old classic: wool. But while these socks may have been warm they were itchy and shrank. So they worked on a process to make them soft and easy care. Smart Wool was born on a simple tenet: keeping feet comfortable on slopes.
But it was a hard sell. Try as they might, they couldn't initially convince others of the materials merits. No one believed that a wool sock could be anything but itchy. Out of frustration, they finally challenged people to try them. And the simple tactic changed the course of Smart Wool forever and pioneered a new market for wool performance products. The instant people tried them they were awestruck with Smart Wools soft luxurious feel. They were even more surprised that their feet stayed comfortable for extended period of timein mixed weather conditions. Instead of getting clammy the Smart Wool socks stayed dry, soft and comfprtable. The founders then realized that they had to get their socks on as many people as possible to let them speak for themselves.
This created a buzz not unlike the shearing of a sheep. Magazines caught wind of the material and in 1995 Backpacker testeed Smart Wool against all other comers awarding it its coveted Editiors Choice award for best hiking sock. The company received the same honor in 1996 for its trekking socks, and won the award yet again for its new base layer in 1998 before the first product was even shipped.
These awards catapulted Smart Wools Extraordinary Comfort onto more and more feet and bodies. And a funny thing happen once people started trying Smart Wool: word about their comfort and performance spread like wildfire. Fueling this was the companys commitment to using only the finest wool in tne world: New Zealand merino, which produce the softest, strongest wool on the planet.The company has built intimate, long standing relationships with its growers, who are in tune with their land and sheep and have become great partners in growing the best wool possible.
The next step was obvious. Since people enjoyed Smart Wools comfort in its performance socks and base layers, why not make socks they can wear all the time? since hiking socks don't go well with dress slacks, Smart Wool launched its everyday - use lifestyle line in 2004, bringing extraordinary comfort to daily life with fun, fashionable designs. Both socks and apparel now enjoy worldwide distribution, satisfying the needs of walkers, runners, skiers, cyclists, climbers, hikers and anyone else who enjoys the comfort and performance the company’s founders discovered more than 10 years ago on those cold slopes of New England. |
