The Lorpen Merino Hike Midweight Crew Sock is designed for adult hikers who prioritize long-term comfort and foot health during extended treks. Utilizing RWS-certified merino wool, these socks offer superior moisture management and natural odour resistance, making them a reliable choice for multi-day adventures. While they provide excellent cushioning and thermoregulation, the medium-weight construction may feel too warm for hikers operating exclusively in high-heat summer environments.

Yes, but use a gentle cycle with cold water and avoid harsh detergents or fabric softeners.
They are designed for hiking, but their comfort makes them excellent for general outdoor activities or daily wear.
No, the high-quality merino wool used is incredibly fine and soft, designed specifically to avoid the itchiness associated with coarser wools.
The Responsible Wool Standard (RWS) ensures the wool is sourced from farms that prioritize animal welfare and land management.
To prevent shrinking or fiber damage, we recommend air drying the socks rather than using a tumble dryer.
The recycled nylon adds significant structural strength and elasticity to the sock, ensuring it lasts longer and retains its shape.
Ensure the sock is pulled fully over the heel and that the arch support zone is centered properly before putting on your footwear.
While merino manages moisture well, it can become saturated in non-breathable boots; ensure your boots have adequate ventilation or perform a quick 'air out' break during long stops.
To maximize the longevity of your Lorpen Merino Hike socks, wash them inside out in cold or lukewarm water on a gentle cycle. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can strip the merino wool of its natural moisture-wicking and odour-resistant capabilities. Air drying is highly recommended to prevent the fibers from shrinking or becoming brittle under high heat. When fitting, ensure the sock is pulled taut against the heel to engage the supportive fit of the stretch nylon zones. These socks are highly compatible with most standard hiking boots, trail runners, and trekking shoes.
