Hiking socks

Hiking socks cushion the foot, manage moisture and help prevent blisters. Merino and wool blends regulate temperature and resist odour, while synthetic fibres add durability and dry faster. Match the cushioning to your footwear and distances, and pick a height that rises above the cuff of your boot or shoe to stop rubbing. Look for a snug fit without loose fabric at the heel or toes, where folds cause friction.
