Today, we are shopping around in search of comfortable Merino Wool socks for a hike in our tight fitting footwear. We are looking to go a few miles so cushion under foot is the preference and tight fitting boots means a bulky sock isn't an option. The ideal sock is an ultra light crew sock that covers our ankle and lower calf with light cushion under foot for comfort.
Over the past 30 years merino wool has developed a reputation for being technical, niche, and expensive. Sorry, that's our fault. We didn't know that our first merino wool company (the very first and still the most famous merino brand) would launch an entire new merino wool industry.
A lot SHOULD change in the thirty years since we introduced merino wool to the world. At Point6, a lot has. And, we feel a responsibility to keep making our products better—and that includes using compact spinning and 100% merino wool yarn in all our socks and apparel.
Like choosing a hiking boot uniquely suited to your terrain and activity style, selecting the very best merino wool hiking socks will help ensure that every step on your next excursion is as enjoyable as possible.
Here are some fun and exciting outdoor activities the Point6 team recommends to help you connect with nature and avoid the blues this mud season.
Taking care of your merino wool socks is important and it's easy! Take it from us—we've been making the softest, most comfortable and longest lasting merino for over 30 years.
