Walking socks should be thick to protect against blisters. They should also be soft, warm and hard-wearing, and they might have a cushioned sole. They should be breathable and have moisture-wicking properties. Alpaca and merino wool are often used for their quality. Our walking socks have a high merino content and use a terry loop construction for even cushioning and hard-wearing.

+
−
Some people like to wear two pairs of socks when they go hiking, but it’s not always necessary. The idea of this is that it helps to reduce friction, reducing the chances of blisters forming. But with a good pair of hiking socks, you should not need to wear two pairs. Moisture wicking socks made from high-quality merino wool wick the moisture away from your skin to keep your feet dry and warm.
