BRIDGEDALE MIDWEIGHT MERINO PERFORMANCE BOOT £19.50

Once dubbed the iconic ‘Trekker’, this classic walking sock is made with a blend of wool for comfort and odour-resistance, nylon for durability and Endurofil yarn which – with low thermal conductivity – helps keep the warmth in your feet. Meanwhile, zonal padding and flat toe seams reduce the chance of chafing and blisters. A classic, go-anywhere, mountain sock.

VERDICT One to note for those with cold toes: this classic, year-round walking sock wicks moisture but retains warmth.
