What are the best waterproof socks for hiking?
The best waterproof socks for hiking are those that strike a balance between durability, comfort, and reliable protection from the elements. A high-quality waterproof sock should feature a breathable membrane that allows sweat to escape while keeping water out, ensuring your feet stay dry inside and out. Look out for designs with seamless or flat-seam construction to minimise rubbing, reinforced heel and toe areas for durability, and targeted cushioning in key pressure zones for long-lasting comfort. A snug but natural fit also helps prevent bunching, which can cause discomfort on the trail. Sealskinz waterproof socks are designed with all these features, offering premium fabrics and innovative construction that keep your feet dry, protected, and comfortable no matter the terrain or conditions.
How do I prevent blisters when hiking in waterproof socks?
Blister prevention starts with managing both friction and moisture inside your footwear. To reduce the risk, make sure your socks and shoes fit properly, too loose and they’ll rub, too tight and they’ll cause pressure points. If you are prone to blisters, you may also want to apply blister plasters or anti-chafe balm to areas that tend to develop hot spots. Breaking in your boots on shorter walks before a long hike can also make a big difference. With Sealskinz waterproof socks, which are engineered for both comfort and performance, you’ll have the right foundation for blister-free hiking.
How should I care for waterproof socks?
To keep your waterproof socks performing at their best, it’s important to care for them properly. Always wash them on a cool or gentle cycle, ideally at 30°C or below, using a mild detergent. Avoid using bleach, fabric softener, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the waterproof membrane and reduce breathability. Once washed, allow your socks to air dry naturally, away from direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, which can cause the waterproof membrane to deteriorate. Do not iron or dry-clean waterproof socks. By looking after your waterproof socks in this way, you’ll extend their lifespan and ensure they continue to provide reliable protection on every adventure.
