How to pick hiking or trekking socks

Factor in the route of your hiking trail and any obstacles you'll encounter along the way. The right boot socks play a critical role in keeping trail runners and even darn tough hikers comfortable and blister-free throughout the trip. The height of your socks can make all the difference. Whether you want a no-show look with ankle socks or knee-high sock height for extra padding, choose from low-cut crew socks to no-show socks that protect against abrasion. Don't forget to check the fabric. Hiking socks come in durable and warm merino wool, spandex, and other various wool blends. Our lightweight hiking socks are made with technology to provide heavy to medium cushioning for all your outdoor needs.
