When you want a hiking sock without wool

A crew hiking sock with Thorlo’s moderate cushion label and a 65% polyester blend.

Keep in mind: A crew cuff is more sock than a low trail shoe needs; it suits boots and cooler days.

Closest in Thorlo’s range: the Men's Moderate Cushion Ankle. They differ in cuff and blend; the cushion and size chart are the same.

Check the size and the shoe together

Start with the men’s / unisex chart for this exact model. Use the size lookup or the whole Thorlo size chart to find the published range, then check the heel position, toe room and cuff in your footwear.

The maker does not give a heel-to-cuff measurement. Try the socks with your boots to see whether the cuff sits above the collar. See how sock heights differ.

Try the selected size with the shoes and insoles you plan to use. Added cushioning should not crowd the toes or distort the heel position. The footwear-fit checklist explains what to check.

Care for the exact pair

Wash inside out in cool or lukewarm water on a regular or delicate cycle, with no chlorine bleach. Thorlo recommends liquid fabric softener in the rinse and tumble drying on low or permanent press rather than line drying; high heat can shrink the socks.

Use the care lookup for this model’s wash and dry directions. A general wool routine should not override instructions for a membrane, a two-layer construction or a specific treatment.

Another sock to compare

Both are wool-free: neither lists any wool in its published blend. Padding: “moderate cushion” here, “cushioning rating 3 of 5” there; check each brand’s size chart.

Bridgedale Men's Lightweight T2 Coolmax Performance Boot uses its own size chart. Compare the two socks to see where their height, material, cushioning and care differ. Matching specs don’t mean they will feel the same in your shoes.
