1000 Mile Socks - choosing the right pair
It can be daunting looking at all the options for walking socks – they all seem so technical, which are the right ones for you?
Here’s our guide to help you choose the right pair.
1000 Mile socks are either double or single layered. The double layered socks have a thin inner liner that reduces friction – these come with the blister-free guarantee.
1000 Mile All Terrain Double Layer sock - £13.49 a pair

These are ideal for use with walking shoes or trainers or for people whose feet get very hot.

Sizing
Choose the same size sock as your foot size. If you have a narrow fitting (D or less for men, B or less for women) or are on the border between sizes you should go down a size. The sock should be a snug fit with no wrinkles.
