Modern walking socks have come a long way. There are socks to suit any level of activity, and using new elasticated fabrics the sock is no longer the humble shoe liner it once was. A good walking sock seeks to maximise your comfort, by relieveing pressure on the foot by optimising circulation.
Features to look out for when buying a new pair of socks are the elastic terrys to keep the socks from slipping down in the boot on long walks. The comfort toe seams, which, unlike old socks mean there is no seam to annoy the toes at the front of the sock.
When you pull on a new pair of these socks the differences can be felt instantly. They slide on and off without too much effort and provide an excellent level of comfort on walks
