Child's Organic Wool Trekking Socks

Children's trekking socks, for walking, hiking and active kids. Knitted in 100% organic merino wool with a plush sole for added warmth, wicking ability and comfort. The plush sole is created by knitting in an extra thread in the sole and they add a cushioning underfoot without being too thick. 

Longer in the shaft and a bit stretchier than the Hirsch Chunky rib socks. These are our bigger kids' favourites.

Wool is perfect for long walks because it feels comfortable and dry, even when your feet sweat. It can absorb a lot of moisture - up to 33% of its dry weight which helps to prevent blisters.
