Socks decide how your feet feel after a long day. A good pair keeps your feet dry and fresh, so you suffer less from blisters. That way you walk further, on a hike, in your work boots or simply in town.
Why good socks make the difference
The fabric breathes and wicks away sweat. As a result, your feet stay dry, even in warm weather or on a steep climb. Stretchy parts keep the sock in place, so it does not slip down in your shoe. Spots that wear a lot often have a stronger section. So the sock lasts longer.
There are also pairs with an extra function. A compression sock supports your blood flow, which is nice on a long flight. A thermal sock keeps your feet warm in the cold. In summer, however, a thin sock is the best choice.
What should you look for?
First, think about how you will use them. For a walk, choose a sock that wicks moisture, such as the CoolMax from Mil-Tec. For a long journey, a compression sock is a good choice. Also check the size. A sock that is too big creases, and that gives blisters. Finally, always bring a spare pair, because a dry pair is worth gold on a wet day.
