When you want padding underfoot in a boot-height cuff

Sealskinz Gresham Mid Length

A mid length hiking sock with what Sealskinz calls targeted cushion and a 35% wool blend.

Keep in mind: The tall cuff suits tall boots and gaiters; it is a lot of sock for a low shoe. Facts come from Sealskinz’s UK/global site; check the US listing matches.

Closest in Sealskinz’s range: the Thurton Mid Length. They differ in weight and blend; the cuff, 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 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 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

Check the product’s sewn-in care label and current manufacturer instructions before washing. We don’t have this model’s wash settings yet; follow the care label in the pair.

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). Padding: “targeted cushion” here, “full cushion” there; check each brand’s size chart.

Icebreaker Men's Merino Hike+ Mountaineer Mid Calf 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.
