Sock Sense... Makes sense to Sock-ceed!

Dear Sally, 

My girlfriend and I love all outdoor activities. This fall we are planning a beautiful hiking trip to Colorado at Palmer Park. Now this hiking trail has many difficulty levels so we've decided to go all out and do the full 12 mile hike. Figuring that we'll take the hardest trails first so we can pass the easier trails with no fuss. lol All of our trekking will be done on foot and I'm having trouble finding socks that will protect our feet, cushion them and keep them cool. Do you have any recommendations for good hiking/walking socks or maybe some good merino wool socks to keep us comfortable??

Signed,

Lost On a Sock Trail


Dear Lost On a Sock Trail,

You are in luck! I can recommend several perfect hiking styles for you and the misses. Get ready to grab a paper and pen cause I'm going to give you the ideal selection! With so many socks to choose from I can definitely see how hard it may be to narrow it down to the perfect ones. As always ladies first so with that said I would recommend for your girlfriend the Bridgedale Endurance Trekker crew or the Smartwool PH-D Outdoor Medium crew. Both socks would Protect, Pad and Purge Perspiration! The Four P's! Now for you, I would recommend a great merino wool sock called the Trailmaster Sock. This sock is made byFox River Socks. As well Thorlo socks make a sturdy Level 2 Light Hiking Sock with Coolmax. Perfect for keeping you dry and cushioning your every step. With this information you should have no issues finding the ideal sock for your girlfriend and yourself. Happy Hiking!!

Sally
