Product Overview
The Craghoppers Expert Trek Socks are engineered for those who spend long hours on their feet in demanding environments. These socks leverage a sophisticated Merino blend to provide a high-performance solution that balances natural warmth with technical moisture management. Designed for the trail but equally at home on the job site, they offer a level of comfort that goes beyond standard footwear accessories, ensuring your feet remain supported throughout the working day.
Key Features
Cushioned sole, toe, and heel: Targeted padding reduces impact and friction, which is essential for preventing blisters and foot fatigue during extended periods of walking or standing.
Elasticated ankle support: Provides a secure fit that prevents the sock from shifting or bunching inside your boots, reducing the risk of irritation.
Double cuff: This design feature ensures the socks remain comfortably in place without slipping down, maintaining a professional look and consistent protection.
Design & Performance
The performance of these socks is rooted in the specific blend of 38% Merino wool and technical synthetics. Merino wool is prized for its natural temperature regulation and moisture-wicking properties, which keep feet dry and comfortable regardless of the external conditions. The inclusion of Polypropylene and Polyamide enhances the overall durability, ensuring these socks can withstand the friction of heavy-duty work boots. Furthermore, these materials ensure the socks are quick-drying, which is a significant advantage for those working in unpredictable British weather. A touch of Elastane provides the necessary stretch for a contoured fit that moves with your foot.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
While socks are a more discreet part of a uniform, customisation can provide that final touch of professionalism for your team. Embroidery is an excellent choice for these knitted socks, offering a durable and high-quality finish for small logos or initials near the cuff. This ensures your branding remains intact even after repeated wear and washing.
For bolder designs, print options are also available, though we typically recommend embroidery for the best longevity on textured fabrics like the Merino blend used here. Since 1976, our Telford-based team has specialised in bespoke workwear customisation, ensuring every item we produce meets our exacting standards. Whether you require a subtle logo or a name for identification, we handle the entire process in-house to ensure a superior result.
Use Cases
These socks are ideally suited for outdoor professionals, including forestry workers, surveyors, and construction site managers who require reliable footwear for varied terrain. They are equally effective for trekking enthusiasts and hikers who demand performance-weight socks that provide luxury comfort without compromising on technical ability.
Why MyWorkwear
Since 1976, MyWorkwear has been a trusted partner for businesses across the UK. Based in Telford, we take pride in our heritage and our technical expertise. We understand that professional clothing is an investment in your team's comfort and safety, and we apply the same level of care to a pair of socks as we do to heavy-duty safety jackets.
Practical Advice
To ensure the best fit and performance, we offer these socks in two size ranges: 6/8 (to fit EU 39/42) and 9/12 (to fit EU 43/47). For those working in particularly cold environments, these socks serve as an excellent primary layer under heavier wool socks, or they can be worn alone with high-quality leather boots to allow the Merino blend to regulate your foot temperature effectively.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and longevity of the Merino blend, we recommend washing these socks with similar colours. This prevents dye transfer and ensures the appearance of the fabric remains consistent over time.
It is vital to avoid the use of bleach or water softeners. Bleach can break down the delicate wool fibres, while water softeners can coat the technical yarns, significantly reducing the sock's natural ability to wick moisture and dry quickly.
These socks are suitable for tumble drying on a low setting. Using a high-heat cycle may lead to shrinkage and could damage the elastane fibres that provide the necessary support and fit, so a gentle drying process is highly recommended.
