Features to Consider When Picking Walking Socks

- Moisture Management - Merino Wool socks keep feet dry and fresh naturally.
Should walking socks be thick or thin?
Thin light socks are the best hiking socks for warm days or on short easy trails. Mid-thickness socks are best for tougher hikes but where it is still reasonably warm. Thick socks are the best hiking sock for tough hikes and colder temperatures.
