Norfolk Avery Double Layer Quarter Length Walking Socks – Merino Wool & Prolen® Inner, 2 pairs

Blend Outer: 60% merino wool, 20% polyamide, 18% polypropylene, 2% elastane; Inner: 100% polypropylene

A quarter-length double-layer sock: a Prolen® polypropylene inner layer against the skin and an outer layer of 60% merino wool, with no added cushioning, an elasticated arch and a reinforced heel and toe. Two pairs to a pack.

Keep in mind: With no cushioning it sits close to the foot, so on rough ground or in heavy boots you feel more of the trail.

Check the size and the shoe together

Norfolk’s shop sells this model in UK 6–8 and 9–12.

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

Machine wash at 40°C. Do not tumble dry, bleach, iron or dry clean.

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 double layer to conventional. Check that the changed construction suits your footwear.

Darn Tough Women's Light Hiker Quarter Lightweight 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.
