I'm a huge fan of Thorlo socks and have owned many pair over the years, including the trekking and mountaineering socks. The trekking socks are excellent for everything but all out cold conditions. I generally wear them with leather boots and find them to be well suited for conditions in which leathers are indicated. They always keep my feet warm and dry, and don't bunch up or chafe. Like most synthetic socks, they stink to high heaven after a day's use.
They are cheaper than Patagonia Expedition Weight Socks and work just as well.

I love Thorlo socks and have tried several times to switch to other brands but keep coming back. They are well made and last longer.
They also don't bunch up in my boots as much as some other brands and the price is great.

Great sock for hiking or day hiking. I'm not as impressed with the cushioning as I am the Smartwools so I would be reluctant to using them in mountaineering. But, they were given as a gift so I can't complain too much. Anyway, the best thing about these socks are the fit. They conform to my foot like no other sock. The wicking ability is outstanding.

I love these. Durable and comfortable and like Alan says below this is a great fitting sock. Not a thick sock but thick enough for a good fitting light to mid weight hiking boot.
I don't think these wick as well as some other types of materials and they tend to leave my foot sticky when using a full leather boot like a light mountaineering or water proof hiker.
