Merino Hiking Socks Thermal Adult Crew Socks Wool Acrylic Spandex Blend

Warm feet for long days outdoors

Choose merino hiking socks when you want warmth, grip, and comfort inside boots. This crew length design suits day walks and winter missions. It also works well for skiing, mountaineering, and fishing. The fabric balances insulation and airflow, so feet feel warmer without feeling clammy. Because the knit includes stretch, the sock stays close to the foot. As a result, it can reduce bunching on steep climbs and long descents.

Size Guide

Measure your foot length first, then match your result to the size range below.

• 1: Place a sheet of paper on a hard floor, against a wall.
• 2: Stand on the paper with your heel lightly touching the wall.
• 3: Mark the tip of your longest toe with a pencil.
• 4: Measure from the wall edge to the toe mark in centimetres.
• 5: Measure both feet and use the longer measurement.

Match your foot length to the closest size:

• M (EU 35–39): foot length about 22.5–24.5 cm.
• L (EU 39–43): foot length about 24.5–27.0 cm.
• XL (EU 43–47): foot length about 27.0–30.0 cm.

Fit tips: If you sit on the overlap (EU 39 or EU 43), size up for thicker boots or a roomier fit. Choose the smaller size for a snugger fit in tighter footwear.

Size note: For hygiene reasons, we can’t accept returns or exchanges for socks that have been opened or tried on. Please measure your foot length and use the size guide before ordering. If the item arrives faulty or not as described, we’ll sort it under your consumer rights.

Summary

Use merino hiking socks for cold weather outings where warmth and fit matter. They suit changing New Zealand conditions, especially when tracks stay damp and temperatures drop. They are thermal socks, not waterproof socks, so pair them with suitable footwear and layers.

** These socks are a merino blend (not 100% merino). They are designed for warmth and comfort, not waterproof protection.
