When you are buying for a young hiker

Smartwool Kids' Hike Margarita Crew

A crew hiking sock with what Smartwool calls full cushion and a 63% merino wool blend.

Keep in mind: Full cushioning adds fabric around the foot. If your boots already feel snug, a lighter sock may fit better.

Smartwool’s UK shop: kids’ sizes

Check the size and the shoe together

Start with the kids’ 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

Machine wash on gentle cycle in warm or cool water. Tumble dry low. Do not dry clean. Do not iron. Do not bleach.

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 conventional to anatomical. Check that the changed construction suits your footwear.

Falke Kids' TK2 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.
