FAQs
Are these socks suitable for winter hiking?
These are lightweight socks and are generally better suited for spring, summer, and autumn. They may not provide enough insulation for sub-zero winter temperatures.
Can I use these for running?
While designed for hiking, their moisture-wicking properties and lightweight cushioning make them suitable for trail running and other high-activity outdoor pursuits.
How should I clean the socks to prevent shrinking?
Wash them on a cool or warm gentle cycle and avoid high-heat tumble drying to prevent the natural fibers from shrinking or becoming brittle.
Does the size M fit all men?
No, size M is specifically for a standard medium fit. Please check the size guide to ensure it matches your foot measurements.
What is the primary material used?
The socks utilize a technical blend that includes wool to ensure natural moisture regulation and warmth.
Troubleshooting
Socks feel loose after several wears
Wash the socks following the care instructions to activate the ThermoFit technology, which helps the material recover its original shape.
Dampness felt during long hikes
Ensure your footwear has adequate breathability. If your boots are fully waterproof (e.g., Gore-Tex), moisture may be trapped inside; consider swapping to more breathable boots if the socks continue to feel damp.
Pros and Cons

- Lightweight construction prevents foot fatigue

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Bridgedale socks, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash on a warm, gentle cycle (40 degrees Celsius).
- Detergent: Use a mild detergent; avoid using fabric softeners as they can strip away moisture-wicking properties.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting. Avoid high heat as it can compromise the elasticity of the fibers.
- Bleaching: Do not use bleach or iron the socks, as this will damage the technical fabric blend.
These socks are compatible with most standard hiking boots, trail runners, and outdoor footwear that require a sock that balances cushioning with breathability.
