hiking socks

Cushioned trail legwear

Hiking socks are socks designed for walking over rough terrain, typically thicker and more cushioned than everyday socks.

They're usually made from moisture-wicking materials like merino wool or synthetic blends to prevent blisters and keep feet dry: I always pack extra hiking socks for long trails.
