Isn't the choice of outdoor hiking socks just to choose a pair according to the season? Why do mountaineering wear wool socks instead of cotton socks? Hearing that many mountaineering enthusiasts recommend wearing two pairs of socks, is it not enough to wear one pair?
When hiking, the protection and comfort of the feet are very important. Once the feet are uncomfortable or injured, it will not only delay the trip, but may even increase the incidence of danger. Therefore, picking a pair of suitable hiking socks is a must before the trip. The first concept is: what shoes to wear with what socks!
Different hiking shoes with different hiking socks
The choice of hiking socks is not based on the season! Must depend on the type of hiking boots you are wearing. Since hiking shoes are harder than ordinary shoes, and mountaineering often has to travel long distances and step on hard stones, it is recommended to wear thicker socks for better comfort.
But aren't all hiking socks thick and thin?
Therefore, the editor will make a simple classification and recommendation according to the hiking shoes to help you make a choice.
Reloading hiking boots:
Because the shoe body is very hard and heavy, and the upper is also high, it is necessary to choose thicker middle (high) hiking socks, and the socks must be higher than the upper, so that it is not easy to be uncomfortable due to friction. You can also choose hiking socks with a thicker shock-absorbing design.
If you are more afraid of heat, you can also choose thick hiking socks with a high percentage of Coolmax wicking fibers.
Lightweight mid (low) top hiking shoes:
The body of the shoe is softer than the boots. You can choose thinner hiking socks, but it is recommended to keep a certain thickness, and the socks must be higher than the upper.
Choose wool socks? Or cotton socks?
Generally, wool socks are recommended for hiking activities. Its advantages are:
If your hiking shoes are made of leather, you need to wear good wool socks because of the poor breathability of leather.
It is easy to encounter rain when mountaineering. When the wool socks are wet, they can still retain their softness, which can reduce the occurrence of blisters.
Wool has good temperature control. In wet and cold weather, the soles of the feet will not feel cold. There will be no burning sensation in the sun. It is a great natural material.
Good anti-odor and antibacterial effect, you can say goodbye to smelly feet.
Reasons why cotton socks are not recommended:
When the cotton socks get wet, the material will become hard, and it is easy to rub against blisters when walking.
Not easy to dry when wet.
It loses its warmth when it gets wet.
