When you want two layers in one sock

A crew double-layer sock with Wrightsock’s mid cushion label and an outer layer of 68% merino wool.

Keep in mind: The two layers are built into one sock. Choose separate liners and outers if you want to wash or rotate each layer independently.

Closest in Wrightsock’s range: the Hike Crew. They differ in cushion and blend; the cuff 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 Wrightsock 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 complete layered construction, not only one layer. Extra fabric can change toe room and pressure inside the shoe. The footwear-fit checklist explains what to check.

Care for the exact pair

Launder before first wear. Wash inside out warm. No bleach. No fabric softener. Tumble dry no heat or line 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 constructions contain animal fiber (wool or alpaca). This changes from double layer to conventional. Check that the changed construction suits your footwear.

PAKA Trail Crew Socks 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.
