Bridgedale WoolFusion Trekker Socks

Bridgedale is synonymous with socks and 'darned' good ones too (bad humour, sorry...)

I've had my Bridgedales for 6 years and they have been with me on a number of journeys across the UK and the USA. 

If you don't have a pair of specific walking socks then you need a pair, especially if you intend to cover any serious distance... These make a huge difference to your feet because they're padded around key areas of your foot, namely your heel and underneath the balls of the front of your feet.

There's not much to say about these socks except they're brilliant. In use, they wick moisture and they provide just the right amount of support for 4 season use in the UK. The wool fusion is incredibly durable and after 100+ of walks they show no sign of any real wear whatsoever! They also stretch just enough - really can't fault them. These have been worn in very warm temps as well as temps down to below zero (celsius).

Underside of the sock. Stain is from an insole and nothing to do with the sock!


In terms of drying the socks, just don't wash them on a high temperature and don't dry them on a radiator etc! If you do, they'll shrink...
