Hiking is one of my favorite ways to enjoy nature. With little more than comfortable clothes and shoes, you can have the change of scenery you want by choosing a route for the level of exertion you crave. These socks feature a customized fit in the shin, arch and toe box, helping you achieve your walking goals without bunching, blistering or chafing, so you can keep your thoughts on the beauty of the wilderness around you.

The Perfect Hiking Socks are knit cuff-down with a heel flap and gusset. They have a folded cuff, structured arch support and asymmetrical toes.

This pattern has been tech edited and test knit.

To achieve the perfect fit, it is helpful to know the wearer’s foot length, foot circumference and the distance from the heel to the nearest part of the arch. A schematic of these measurements is included.
