Women’s Hiking Socks

Picture this: you’re on a trek through the forest, surrounded by lush greenery. You’re at peace as you follow the path ahead of you, listening to leaves rustling in the trees and the sounds of the woods all around you. All is well until.... You feel the beginnings of a blister forming on your heel. 

You try to power through, but every step is more painful, until finally, you feel as though you can’t go on. There’s no way you can enjoy the rest of your hike, and you’re contemplating whether you should turn back or just make a home out there in the forest. 

With the exception of a bear attack, forest fire, or some other natural disaster, blisters are a hiker’s worst nightmare. Another common problem for hikers in the winter is cold feet. They turn red, get numb, and if you’re out for a long time, you can end up going through a lot of pain. A blister or freezing toes can ruin even the best hike, which is why wearing the right socks is crucial. 

Choose Crew Length for Women’s Hiking Socks

Crew socks typically reach your mid calf, which is a perfect length for most hiking boots. You’re taking a risk if you go with a shorter pair, like ankle socks. This length will likely cause chafing along the heel of your boot, while crew socks cover this area completely. If your hiking boots are short, this is where the micro-crew length comes in: they still protect your ankle and only show minimally above your boots. 

Wool Is The Best Material for Women’s Hiking Socks

Tons of hiking socks on the market are made out of wool. The thickness of the wool depends on the season, with hikers opting for light wool socks in the summer and heavier material in the cooler months. Wool is an incredibly versatile fabric. It’s naturally antimicrobial, which makes it odor-resistant. Wool regulates temperature and can absorb huge amounts of moisture before feeling wet, so your feet stay cool and dry in the summer, and warm in the winter. Pretty sweet, right? 

Athletic is the Runner Up For Women’s Hiking Socks

If you’re not a fan of wool, athletic socks are also a good option in the warmer months. They have moisture-wicking properties, so they’ll absorb foot sweat as you hike. Most athletic socks are made of cotton. This is a naturally breathable fabric, so you won’t have to worry about your feet overheating in your hiking boots.
