Horizon says:
The Hike sock provides everything you need from a ‘three-season’ boot length sock. It is designed to offer great comfort and support as well as effective breathability while still retaining a dense, fully cushioned sole. Ideal for hiking and lighter weight performance footwear, the socks are made with extra-fine Merino wool for warmth and comfort, have a classic ribbed leg and specially designed grip sections for support. The Lycra content and flat linked toe seam ensure a perfect fit and prevent any unnecessary abrasion. This is a perfect hiking sock for all conditions.
Our Verdict
The Horizon Merino Hike Socks are a standout choice if you are looking for comfort and support on three-season hikes. Crafted with a high Merino wool content, these socks deliver warmth and moisture management without compromising breathability, making them suitable for varying conditions. The fully cushioned sole is exceptionally comfortable underfoot, providing an extra layer of padding on rocky terrain. After several washes, im pleased to say they are just as plush and fluffy.
These socks are designed with a supportive ribbed leg and elastic grip sections that keep them in place. The inclusion of Lycra ensures they retain their shape well over time. Reinforced heels and toes add durability, while the flat toe seam prevents rubbing and hotspots.
