Owning a few liner socks allows you to adapt your footwear for various conditions and uses. They are a great choice for summer or climbing shoes with a tight fit. Rotating fresh liner socks on a long hike or military yomp can greatly reduce blisters and improve morale. Level 1 means you can wear these as-is or with another pair (or two) of socks.
Made in Finland!
Size info
The socks are manufactured according to European shoe sizes. The smaller option will likely fit better without feeling too tight if you are between sizes. See the chart below for size conversions.

---|---|---|---|
X-Small | EU 34–36 | US 3.0–5.0 | UK 2.0–4.0 |
Small | EU 37–39 | US 5.5–7.5 | UK 4.5–6.5 |
Medium | EU 40–42 | US 8.0–10.0 | UK 7.0–9.0 |

Material and care
Materials: 50 % Merino wool, 48 % polyamide, 2 % elastane.
Machine wash at 40 °C / 104 °F, wool program and wool detergent recommended. If you pull the socks inside out and hang them to air between uses, washing is less frequently necessary.
The final fit is achieved after one wash cycle, as the sock will shrink about 3–5 % 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, which allows tracing the merino wool back to individual sheep farms. The packages feature a QR code for tracing the source of the Merino wool.
