When you want a waterproof membrane for wet trails

Bridgedale StormSock Midweight Boot

A boot waterproof sock with Bridgedale’s cushioning rating 3 of 5, a midweight knit and an inner layer of 54% merino wool.

Keep in mind: Water can still get in over the cuff, and the three layers take more room than a standard sock, so try it in your shoes before a wet trip.

Check the size and the shoe together

Start with the unisex chart for this exact model. Use the brand size lookup 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

Wash inside out on a 40°C (104°F) wool cycle, dark colours separately, with no fabric conditioner or bleach. Tumble dry on low heat; do not iron, dry clean or dry on a radiator.

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 fibre (wool or alpaca). This changes from waterproof to conventional. The other sock has no waterproof membrane. Check that the changed construction suits your footwear.

Smartwool Hike Crew Targeted Cushion 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.
