How to Choose Your Hiking Socks
Share
While you should choose the best hiking shoe before you depart, your socks are also an essential part to a comfortable and enjoyable experience
1. Usage
Mountain Hiking
When mountain hiking, rubbing should be limited as much as possible to prevent blisters.
Lowland Hiking
Greater comfort is required when walking across lowland.
2. Duration of Walks
The longer the walk, the greater the breathability required. A long walk is classified as being over 3 hours.
3. Season
As the temperature varies depending on season, select from our “cold weather” or “hot weather" shoes; for shoes suitable for both winter and summer, pick a pair of “mild weather” shoes! Don't forget a jacket to go along with it!
4. Height
The height of your socks must always be greater or equivalent to that of your shoes in order to avoid ankle rubbing.
