Thru-Hikers Top Socks

Summer is peak thru-hiking season — and thru-hiking has never been bigger. Whether you're tackling the Appalachian Trail, the Pacific Crest Trail, the Continental Divide, or chasing the Triple Crown, your socks matter more than you think. Walking 20-30 miles a day for months puts your feet through more wear than almost anything else you'll do this year. The wrong socks mean blisters, hot spots, and a trip cut short. Finishing what you started starts with the gear that can go the distance with you.
