Anatomically designed socks for demanding users and people who appreciate extra comfort in everyday life. Särmä Hiking Socks are made of lofty knit, moisture-wicking and have a proper fit to prevent blisters and keep you walking all day.
- Optimized for three-season use
- Crew-length ribbed shaft, long enough for most boots
- Grey and dark grey color scheme
- Wool terry knit at the shaft and bottom - won't wrinkle up!
- Sturdy bands at the ankle and instep to keep the sock in place
- Shaped heel cup and toe box
- Flat seams
The socks are engineered to hug your instep and cup the heel. The shafts, bottom, and toe box are terry knit while the instep has a lighter construction. Terry knit is smooth on the outside and has loops on the inside to trap air and insulate better. As a result, the socks are warm and soft in just the right places.
Material and care
- 64% Merino Wool, 34% polyamide, 2% elastane.
- 23.5 micron
- Machine wash at 40°C / 104° F with a wool program.
Don't leave them in a wet lump after washing. Reshape them gently while still damp and hang to dry. Using wool detergent is recommended to retain the properties of the material. The sock will shrink about 10% in the first wash. This is taken into account in the sizing.
And yes, the wool is mulesing-free!
Want to know where the merino wool comes from?
Our sock provider Sukkamestarit has joined the NATIVA™system, the purpose of which is to be able to trace the merino wool back to individual sheep farms. Because of this, you will also be able to find out where the wool for all our merino wool Särmä socks comes from.
Starting from August 2020, the packages of new Särmä socks will have a QR code that you can use to trace the source of the merino wool. This will also raise the prices of the socks a bit, but it is a very small thing in comparison how cool this transparency is!
Size info
Sized according to European shoe sizes, with corresponding common S, M, L, etc. sizes in brackets. A slight shrinkage in the first wash is accounted for - don't pick oversized socks. See the chart below for further reference:

I just switched from all poly gear to merino wool after years. I've been wearing these products everyday for a month now and am very impressed. There is slight pilling but to be expected, but the description is right these products do not take in smells very easily, just take care of your stuff. Varusteleka is PURE GOLD!

As far as washing goes, I found that washing by hand using wool shampoo helps to avoid shrinking. You can wear these for a week (airing them at night) and they still won't smell, even though when washed, the water quickly turns dark with dirt. ;-) I dry them lying flat on a towel, after gentle wringing out.
We'll see how they hold up over time. My bar is high, I used to wear F**ke TK hiking socks that cost at least twice as much - the Särma socks stink far less for sure.
Finally, I like the fact that they are not military green but neutral grey. Recommended.
