Which socks should I choose?
You may already have unpleasant memories of wet feet, blisters, and sore toes. A pair of thin nylons is not suitable for hiking and hard work. On the other hand, a good pair of socks works wonders when you spend a lot of time outdoors. That's why you should choose a high-quality pair of socks. Especially if you enjoy long hikes in the great outdoors or if your work takes place outdoors. With us, you'll find socks that can withstand a bit of everything, such as:
- Hiking socks
- Ranger socks
- Socks in good materials
- Socks with high or low shafts
You can also choose between merino wool, which keeps your feet warm and comfortable for a long time, or regular cotton, which has a good fit and stretch. Our range includes socks for both men and women. Sizes range from 35-47, and you can choose black or white variants, depending on what you prefer. Of course, it can be an advantage to choose black socks if you know that they get very dirty for your purpose.
Hiking socks
If you work in the woods or often enjoy long walks, a pair of hiking socks is great for you. Made from 60% wool plus acrylic, nylon, and cotton, these sturdy pants keep your feet and toes warm and dry all day long. The underside is extra durable, which prevents holes in the heel, for example.
Ranger socks
Are you a hunter or do you work outdoors? Then a good pair of Ranger socks is ideal for the job. The Ranger model also has a thicker underside that makes it extra resistant to abrasion. The materials are primarily wool and acrylic, which you can machine wash at 30°C.
Warm socks
If you tend to get cold, especially on your feet, it's a good idea to invest in a pair of extra warm socks to keep your feet warm during the cold months. For example, find a pair of merino wool socks that are temperature regulating, long-lasting and super comfortable to wear.
Regular socks
No matter what you're doing, you don't want your feet to freeze. Not even when you're indoors. That's why we also have ordinary socks that protect your feet from cold floors and fit perfectly in any shoes and boots.
Take care of your feet with leisure and work socks
There's a reason why you should take care of your feet. Thin, poor-quality socks leave you with cold and wet feet, which can cause a lot of discomfort. Wet socks can irritate your feet and cause nasty chafing. On top of that, they smell awful, which is also very annoying for your surroundings.
In fact, research shows that you are also more likely to catch a cold if your feet are cold. That's why it's a good idea to invest in some good, thick footwear so that you'll never freeze on your feet again.
It's also important to choose the right size. Socks that are too small can restrict blood circulation and cause blisters, while socks that are too big, fold in your shoes and slide down can greatly increase the risk of irritation. The right size ensures optimal comfort, support and protection.

FAQ
What is the difference between socks and stockings?
Mainly in the length. Socks typically only cover the feet and part of the ankle, while stockings can extend all the way to the knee. Socks are used for everyday comfort, while stockings can also have functional purposes, such as warmth.
How do you wash socks correctly?
For proper washing of socks, we recommend washing at a low temperature, like 30 degrees, and avoiding tumble drying. It is also important to follow the washing label's instructions carefully. Remember to wash black socks with black clothes and white socks with white clothes.
What materials are best for work socks?
For work socks, the best materials are those that offer breathability, high comfort and are durable. Wool, especially merino wool, is excellent for warmth and breathability. You may also want to choose cotton or bamboo.
