Recommended points
These hiking socks were carefully crafted by our mountain-loving staff. They aim to be simple in terms of functionality, slightly luxurious in materials, and reasonably priced, so that they can be used by a wide range of climbers, from beginners to advanced climbers. They feature three essential features for hiking: full terry knitting for cushioning, antibacterial and deodorizing features to prevent odors even on multi-day hikes, and supportive knitting to keep the socks in place inside the shoe. The socks are made with 20% merino wool, which is highly insulating, moisture-wicking, and deodorizing, and has excellent sweat-wicking and odor-eliminating properties.
To keep the price as low as possible, production took place in China, but we are confident in the comfort and quality of our socks, as they were manufactured in the Chinese factory of a trusted Japanese company that designs and manufactures some of the country's leading hiking and ski socks.
These hiking socks are sufficient for climbing 3,000m-class mountains such as Mt. Fuji and the Northern Alps in the summer, and for day trips to low mountains (around 1,000m) south of the Kanto region in the winter.
