Hiking & Boot Socks
Blisters happen where boot and sock fail to agree. Hiking and boot socks carry extra cushioning built specifically to survive long kilometres inside a boot.
Look for a reinforced heel and toe, a padded footbed and a shaft that rises above the boot collar without sliding down as you walk. A merino blend moves moisture away and keeps feet dry, which prevents blisters better than any plaster. Choose a thicker knit for winter, midweight for summer, and leave the sock room to breathe inside the boot. The main socks category carries the full range.
We give honest advice on matching sock to boot and trip, having paid for that lesson in blisters ourselves.
