When you want a hiking sock without wool

A low hiking sock with Wigwam’s zone cushion label, a lightweight knit and a 54% polyester blend.

Keep in mind: The low cuff sits below a boot collar, so it suits trail shoes and low hikers rather than boots.

Closest in Wigwam’s range: the Ultra Cool-Lite Mid Crew Lightweight. They differ in cuff and blend; the weight, cushion and size chart are the same.

Check the size and the shoe together

Start with the unisex chart for this exact model. Use the size lookup or the whole Wigwam 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

Turn socks inside out and wash in warm water, no hotter than 120°F (50°C). Skip bleach and fabric softener, and keep them away from denim and Velcro. Tumble dry on the lowest heat or lay flat to dry.

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: “zone cushion” here, “moderate cushion” there; check each brand’s size chart.

Thorlo Women's Moderate Cushion Low-Cut 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.
