Bridgedale WoolFusion® Summit Socks

Not a huge review but there's not much to say except these are an excellent pair of warm socks!

Overview picture of one of my socks!

These are the Bridgedale WoolFusion Summit Socks which are designed for colder temperatures...

These are heavyweight socks which uses a wool and synthetic fusion to produce a cracking sock that will help your feet stay warm at higher altitudes and lower temperatures. According to Bridgedale's own figures these are near maximum warmth and above average padding. They certainly are!

I wear these when it's very cold and generally only with my boots as my approach shoes don't fit very well with these socks on compared to the Trekker socks, such is the thickness of these socks.

In terms of performance and durability they are fantastic but just a note that you may have to go up half a size in a shoe if you're thinking of wearing these. As ever, try on these socks with your boots - or take them with you when trying on a new pair of shoes or boots!

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).

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...
