When you want a hiking sock without wool

Sealskinz Thurton Mid Length

A mid length hiking sock with what Sealskinz calls targeted cushion, a lightweight knit and an 80% polycolon 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.

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 are wool-free: neither lists any wool in its published blend. Padding: “targeted cushion” here, “cushion” there; check each brand’s size chart.

Darn Tough Women's Coolmax Hiker Micro Crew Midweight 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.
