Related Expert Advice articles
Choose a fabric type
Wool: Stays warm when wet, resists odor and wicks moisture
Synthetic (nylon, polyester or acrylic): Ideal for sensitive skin, trap warmth and wick moisture.
How much cushioning do you want?
No cushioning: Best for tighter-fitting performance boots that have a tighter fit or maximum ground feel
Light cushioning: Shin padding with minimal cushioning on the balls of the feet, often with reinforced toes and heels
Medium cushioning: Added padding for warmth and impact absorption; ideal for cold conditions or looser-fitting boots
Length
- Knee high: Most socks for skiing and snowboarding go up to the knees to help protect from shin bang
- Crew: Cross-country skiers and snowshoers may prefer shorter hiking socks

How to Choose Hiking Socks
Select your sock height
- No-show: Little protection against skin-to-boot abrasion. Best with low-cut footwear like trail-running or light hiking shoes
- Ankle: Covers your ankle bone and offers some protection. Best for low- to mid-cut shoes and boots
- Crew: Extends a few inches above ankle bone and protects against boot abrasion. Good for boots or shoes
- Knee-high: Typically used for mountaineering, provide warmth and protection against high-cut boots
Choose your preferred cushioning level
- None: Ultralight, breathable socks designed for use in hot weather or as sock liners
- Light: Moisture-wicking and comfortable at the heel and ball of your foot; relatively thin and better for warm conditions
- Medium: Targeted cushion in the heel and ball of the foot for hiking and backpacking; warm enough for moderate to cold conditions
- Heavy: Thickest and most cushioned; best for long trips, tough terrain and cold
Select a fabric
- Choose a moisture-wicking and quick-drying material like wool, polyester or nylon.
- Spandex is often added for its elastic properties to prevent bunching or wrinkling.
- Cotton isn't recommended as it absorbs moisture, takes longer to dry and cools down quickly.
Find your fit
- Choose based on your foot size, not shoe size.
- If you're between sizes, size down to avoid excess material that can bunch up and cause blisters.
- Socks should feel snug but not tight, and the sock's heel cup should naturally line up with your heel.
