Walking Collection

Walking socks for UK footpaths, from a Sunday loop to a long-distance route. A walking sock should move sweat away from the skin, stay put in the boot, cushion the heel and ball of the foot, and come up above the boot cuff. Cotton does none of that, so everything here is alpaca or merino.

Merino suits most of the year and long ascents; alpaca is the one for cold, wet days and standing breaks. Our own range is knitted in a family-run mill in Portugal; the occasional guest sock, made elsewhere, says so on its page.
