Hiking socks

A wide range of hiking socks

Hiking socks might not be the first thing you think about when lacing up your hiking boots, but they play a key role in overall comfort on the trail. The right hiking socks help prevent blisters, keep your feet dry and provide better support, whether you are heading out on a short day hike or a longer trek across varied terrain.

Why choose hiking socks instead of regular socks?

The difference between regular socks and dedicated hiking socks becomes clear when you start covering longer distances. Hiking socks are designed for active use in hiking shoes and boots, where your feet are exposed to continuous movement and pressure. Some of the main benefits include:

• Moisture management and temperature regulation: Many hiking socks are made from merino wool or technical materials that efficiently move moisture away from the skin. This helps keep your feet dry and comfortable in both cooler and milder conditions.
• Cushioning and support: Hiking socks are available with light, medium or heavier cushioning under the foot as well as around the heel and toes. This reduces impact and improves comfort, especially on longer hikes or uneven ground.
• Fit and durability: An anatomical shape and reinforced zones ensure a secure fit inside the boot and help reduce the risk of folds, friction and blisters.
• Construction: Flat seams and a close-fitting design keep the socks comfortably in place, even during several hours of walking.

Short or long hiking socks – which should you choose?

There are several types of hiking socks available, and the right choice depends on your footwear and how you plan to use them:

• Short hiking socks: Well suited for light hiking and warmer days, where breathability and ventilation are important.
• Mid-length hiking socks: A versatile option for most hikes. They provide extra protection around the ankle and work well with classic hiking boots.
• Long hiking socks: Ideal for cooler conditions or longer hikes with a heavier pack, where added warmth and support are beneficial.
