Merino Wool Hiking Walking Socks for Men & Women, Thick Anti-Blister Cushioned Compression Design, Suits for Sports, Running, Outdoor, Work, 3 Pairs Unisex

I have the sports socks from this maker (also excellent by the way) but these are next level. Those complaining that they are only part merino wool need to consider how else these could be compression socks. They are an excellent mix of comfortable boot sock and compression sock. They work very well for all-day comfort in boots and stay pleasantly warm and wick moisture away due to the merino wool and construction. A good level of compression is achieved and are helping with nerve damage in my feet and ankle. My experience and review is based on many years as an expedition leader / mountaineer and soldier, so I know a thing or two about socks. Would I take them on day walks? Yes, would I carry other socks with me as an insurance? Also yes. Very happy with them so far, if they don’t hold up to outwork I will feed back but so far I’m very happy with the fit and comfort.

Excellent product, snug and actually fits to your foot. Warm enough and breathable, soft as well!

Excellent fit, I take a 6:5 plenty of room for toes. Fitted like a glove, well padded in all the right places. Not too thick, kept feet at an acceptable temperature. Warm conditions today, 19 degrees. 7:5 miles. Nothing strenuous. Very comfortable when worn. No blisters or rubbing. Top rate quality and very stylish appearance. Down side, I took 5 attempts to put my socks on due to the loops on the underneath of the forefoot. Catches your toes and toenails when putting your socks on. If that is the only criticism, I would recommend these socks and most certainly purchase them again. Excellent value for money.

These socks are a decent thickness, although not the thickest I have bought. Hopefully they will be warm when the weather gets really cold. They seem to be very high quality 'tailored' socks. I was surprised to see that they are labelled left and right. I guess there must be a reason. I decided to order 2 more packs and was pleased to see the price had dropped from £24 to £18

A great buy. A bit tight at first but soon a snug fit.

These are fantastic socks in many ways but are just not suitable for the amount of miles I walk and run at work moving tonnes of rubbish around in wheelie bins? 40 to 50 miles in S3 safety boots on Bradfords terrible roads and pavements put a hole in 1 sock the first time I wore it and the other pairs along with some expensive orthopedic insoles have ruined my feet this last week. They are everything to me given my job and I have now gone back to Tesco dual layer walking socks that cost the same for 3 pairs as these do for 1 and the insole I got from my local cobbler. *I got in touch with the vendor and they sent me 3 more pairs of socks to make up for the one with the hole and they were here in literally 24 hours so the customer service is outstanding and I'm sure the socks are for most uses, such as with my sliders they are brilliant. In trainers they feel warm, tight and very comfortable but the bits for ventilation actually cause them to rub in the wrong places and gave me terrible friction blisters on the soles of my feet until they went after 3 days of going back to the cheaper Tesco socks that don't have a thread of merino wool in them but have never given me one blister. The socks wash and dry very well and keep their shape and compression so they keep on working in that respect whatever footwear you choose to wear with them. They are very thick and feel quality but I will say they can be very tight if your legs aren't that thin. Mine swell up when at work due to water retention and chronic vasculitis and I had to move the top of the sock up and down or I ended up with a vast difference in the size of different parts of my leg for a while afterwards. They are quite versatile in that they can be worn with most footwear and look great quality. They just are not durable enough for a job that puts such physical demands on equipment as mine. I wouldn't buy them again as I feel I'm stuck with some socks that can't cope with what I bought them for, after reading masses of reviews too, I felt I needed to put a review for other binmen and the likes who do lots of miles walking and running in heavy boots in all weathers.

Some of the best socks I’ve ever owned

I am size 8.5 UK. These have been a fantastic buy for me. I have been struggling with fluid retention following an operation on one of my feet. Initially a bit of a struggle but once on I found the socks comfortable and supportive. I have not washed them yet but I will take care to follow the instructions and wash them at a cool temperature. I have now bought a second set of delivery today.
