Double-layer hiking socks

Two layers, so the fabric rubs on fabric instead of on your skin. 23 socks here build both layers into one; 2 sets pair a separate liner with an outer sock; 12 liners go under the sock you already own. A built-in double layer washes and dries as one sock; a separate liner comes out, so each layer dries on its own.

Before you buy

Every brand prints its own size chart, and a medium at one maker is not a medium at another. Open the size chart for the brand you choose, or use the size finder with the exact model. Then check the heel, toes and cuff in your own shoes with the fit checklist.

Washing settings differ by maker too: the care lookup gives each model’s own instruction.
