Light, soft, and breathable, Merino wool socks are the best sock on the market and at Arc’teryx that is all we make. Many people like the mid-calf length for hiking, but some enjoy a lower ankle cut too.

THE SUBTLE DETAILS THAT MAKE A SOCK SENSATIONAL

Many people swear by ankle socks, which tend to be cooler in temperature plus give a feeling of freedom when running, hiking, or walking in trail runners. Once you step into hiking boots, you’d probably want a longer set of socks for your feet as coverage matters more with the higher cuff height of hiking boots. Whatever you choose, material is probably most important. Say it again with us: merino wool.

PERFOMANCE SOCKS DON’T CARE ABOUT FASHION…BUT STILL LOOK GOOD

There’s nothing trendy about great women’s socks for the outdoors. Styles may change but comfort and function never do. Quality rules the world of outdoor footwear and hiking boots are always better when paired with a quality Merino wool sock.

COOL SOCKS. COOLER FEET.

Merino wool socks in a crew sock cut are the coolest and many people praise Merino wool for its moisture-wicking abilities, which is an important attribute in keeping the temperature down. Women’s socks are comfortably padded and usually mid-calf length, although some who run hot prefer low cut socks.
