What are Hiking Socks?

Hiking socks are not just any socks; they are a shield against the rough unpredictabilities of nature. Designed specifically for outdoor activities, they are thicker, more durable, and made from materials that can withstand heavy use and varying weather conditions. Features like moisture-wicking properties, breathability, and padded zones enhance comfort and protection. Whether you're crossing streams or climbing rocky paths, hiking socks make every step better. Perfect for any outing, pair these socks with our quality hiking bottoms.

Why are Wool Socks Good for Hiking?

Wool socks are often recommended for hikers due to their incredible natural properties. Wool is highly durable, moisture-wicking, and temperature-regulating, keeping your feet warm in cold weather and cool in hot conditions. This makes wool socks extremely versatile, ideal for hiking in various climates. The anti-bacterial nature of wool also means that your socks stay fresher longer, reducing odor and the need for frequent washing. Match them with our hiking tops for optimal comfort and style.

How to Choose Hiking Socks

Choosing the right hiking socks depends on a variety of factors including the climate, terrain, and your activity level. Here are some tips to help you select the perfect pair:

• Material: Look for socks made from synthetic blends for moisture management or wool for all-weather comfort.
• Thickness: Consider the temperature and type of hiking boots you will wear. Thick socks offer more cushioning and insulation, whereas thin socks provide better breathability in warm conditions.
• Fit: Ensure the socks fit snugly but not too tightly to avoid circulation problems. Compression zones can offer additional support.

Make sure to accessorize with a hiking hat from our collection for full sun and rain protection.

What Socks to Wear Hiking in Summer?

Hiking in summer demands socks that can keep your feet cool, dry, and comfortable. Opt for lightweight and breathable materials like thin merino wool or synthetic blends that wick away moisture quickly. Socks with mesh ventilation areas will increase breathability and help maintain foot hygiene, even during the warmest days. Compression socks can also be beneficial for long summer hikes to help stimulate circulation and reduce swelling.
