Farm to Feet says
Partnering with Jennifer Pharr Davis, who set a record for through-hiking the Appalachian Trail in 46 days, we designed the Blue Ridge, our newest pair to create awareness for these stunning mountains near her hometown of Asheville, NC. Based on the Damascus, with our signature targeted cushioning zones on the heel, ankle, and top of the foot, the Blue Ridge is ideal for long days of carrying a pack through even the most difficult terrain on the trail. The Blue Ridge sock is designed with the image of a single, blue hiker on the leg to represent the solo hiker on the challenging yet beautiful adventure across the Blue Ridge Mountains.
Our Verdict
Farm to Feet's Blue Ridge Light Targeted 3/4 Socks form part of a highly successful range that are renowned for comfort, performance and durability. All Farm to Feet socks use a combination of Merino wool, Nylon and Spandex to provide a balanced performance from the natural and synthetic fibers.
The socks come with different levels of cushioning to suit different activities. The Full Cushion range use high density cushion across the whole sock, Light Cushion focus the padding across the sole to reduce the overall weight and Targeted Light Cushion use the additional padding in the most important areas on the sock. Understanding the cushioning and what you will be wearing them for will help you get the best socks for you.
