Built for long days in boots, these midweight hiking socks focus on comfort, cushioning, and a secure fit for extended time on the trail. Full terry-loop cushioning adds loft and protection throughout the sock, while the merino wool blend is described as moisture-wicking, fast-drying, and naturally antimicrobial. The mid-calf height suits boot wear, and the performance fit is designed to stay in place without slipping or bunching. Fine-gauge knitting and seamless toe construction round out a practical option for multi-season hiking and demanding outdoor use.
