Esker are low profile blended merino liner socks. Close fitting and highly wicking, they're designed to be worn under your hiking socks in a 2-layer system to reduce friction with your boot and help prevent blisters on longer hikes and multi-day trips. Made with blended merino for ultimate comfort, breathability and moisture wicking performance. • Low profile knit to fit under Liskam, Ushbar or Talus hiking socks • Blended merino wool with Coolmax and Thermolite fibres for warm, dry feet • Sole, heel and toe reinforced with polyamide for added durability • Wool from certified non-mulesing farms A liner sock works as part of a 2-sock system. Sitting next to the skin, the liner rubs against the hiking sock which in turn rubs against the boot, this dual layer helps reduce friction between your skin and the boot and spread out the wear on your foot, preventing hotspots and blisters from developing. Using a liner also means you can pack fewer hiking socks and wear them longer between washes on longer trips. They're also great on their own as ultra lightweight socks for everyday use in the height of summer. Cushioning zones at the toe and heel give comfort and support to these high pressure areas while maximising breathability across the rest of the foot, and a seamless construction further reduces the risk of blisters and hotspots on longer hikes. Increased polyamide content at the toe, heel and across the sole adds durability, extending the lifespan of your socks.

Avoid snagging, vigorous machine washing, putting your finger through the fabric, and hungry moths. Those darn moths. Merino is naturally odour-resistant, requiring less washing. When your socks do start to whiff, hand wash it in lukewarm water or stick it on a delicates cycle at 30°C. Use a gentle soap instead of detergents if you can, and do not use conditioners or fabric softeners.
