Wool Blend Hiking Socks - Cushioned Crew - Unisex Walking Socks

The Terrabound Wool Blend Hiking Socks are cushioned crew socks built for long days on foot. Terry loops through the heel and sole take the pounding where the boot hits hardest, an open-knit panel across the instep lets heat out, and a chevron band through the arch holds the sock in place instead of letting it creep down into your boot.

The wool in the blend is what makes them work. Wool moves damp away from the skin and stays warm even when it is wet, which matters because a damp foot is a rubbing foot, and rubbing is how blisters start. It also resists odour, so a pair goes more than one day on a trip before it needs washing.

Hill days, woodland trails and wet farm tracks in wellingtons. The ribbed crew cuff finishes above the collar of a walking boot, which is the one spot on a long descent where boots do their worst.

Key Features:

• Terry loop cushioning through the heel and underfoot absorbs the repeated impact of a full day of walking on hard ground.
• An open-knit ventilation panel across the instep lets heat escape, so a wool sock stays wearable through September as well as January.
• A chevron knit band through the arch holds the sock against the foot and stops it sliding down inside the boot.
• The ribbed elastic cuff sits above the collar of a walking boot and stays up all day without digging into the calf.
• Wool in the blend moves moisture away from the skin and keeps its warmth when damp, unlike the cotton sports socks most people walk in.
• Natural odour resistance means a pair can be worn more than once between washes on a multi-day trip.
• An antibacterial treatment, tested to the 10A grade, works with the wool to keep odour down between washes.
• Flat toe seaming keeps the join away from the toe box, which is where most rubbing on a long descent begins.
• OEKO-TEX certified fabric, certificate 21.HCN.58298, tested for harmful substances.

Available in five colourways and two sizes, S/M and M/L, covering most adult feet. Straightforward kit for anyone who has learned that the whole day is decided in the first hour by whether their feet stay dry.

Pair them with our Men's Walking Boots or Trail Shoes for a full setup.
