Heavyweight hiking socks

32 socks here carry a heavy or heavyweight label: the thickest knits, usually fully cushioned, for cold days, winter boots and mountaineering. They need room in the boot; a sock that squeezes your foot can feel colder, so try them with the boots you will wear.

A weight label describes the yarn and knit, not a temperature rating. Brands do not share a scale, so compare the padding and the cuff as well.

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.
