The Technical Explorer is one of the most comfortable spring/summer boot ankle socks we carry! The Merino wool & Coolmax blend will keep your feet dry and blister-free, while the arch support, double cuff, and flex zone will perfectly fit your foot. In addition, its midweight cushioning will make you want to wear these socks daily!

Why we use merino wool in our socks:

Merino wool is a type of wool that comes from a merino sheep. It is the finest wool on the market, making the fabric soft and itch-free. It is also breathable and temperature-regulating, so your feet are not too hot or cold. Merino is one of the best fibres for wicking moisture as it can absorb up to 30% of its weight in moisture and moves it from your skin to the outside of the fabric, where it evaporates. Because it stays dry, odour-causing bacteria cannot grow, making it a naturally antimicrobial fibre.

My husband has several pairs of the hiker socks in both lengths and loves them. He just purchased two pairs of ‘SOCK OF THE WEEK’ Low Cut Ankle Sock- Grey. Thrilled with them. Comfortable, soft and really wear well.
He’s hard on socks, heels are always the first to go. These socks stand up!
Thank You… Lesley Kelley.

Very comfy, good for day hiking

Que ce soit en randonnée ou en télétravail, ils sont très confortables !
Whether it’s hiking or working from home, these socks are very comfortable.

It's very comfortable and material is very soft and warm so i wear this as slipper at home. It got elastic hand around the ankle so it holds steady. I highly recommend this socks!

4 stars because ANY Merino wool sock will shed small clumps of wool from day 1 because of it short fibre structure. These are just as good as any U.S. made socks and are priced competitively.

They fit well and are warm

First time purchaser, a perfect sock to keep my feet toasty and a very comfortable top, not tight just perfect!
Need to purchase some casual socks (plain black) but I am having trouble finding a rolled top in a machine washable and nice yarn in my size?

Great socks will definitely get some more. Recommended them to my daughter who will buying some for her husband at Christmas.

Cheers

Bill

very good quality and MADE IN CANADA

Best low cut socks I have ever worn. They are great work socks and can be worn for casual days too. Great Canadian made brand

Wonderful quality Canadian made socks!!!

A little bit too tight

Good quality - value for dollars spent.

I wasn't sure at first about the cooling. But having tried other socks, and these really do help keep my feet dry throughout the whole day. No sweating and really comfortable

My son works all day in a fridge , and he keeps extra socks at work to change over , your socks are an important part of the day , literally:)

My fav socks and I always order from Great Canadian Sox. They last for a long time.

A great shoe for walking. Love it.

Great Sox offers excellent products and service, and best of all, it offers many products made in Canada. A great company!

Great sock. Soft but rugged. My go to sock for all things outdoors.

Comfortable it and feel.

Great socks. Have been using them for over 15 years. Long wearing, comfortable and wick away excess moisture. In recent years the storefront I purchase from has trouble sourcing them so I am glad I found Great Sox. Thanks!

Again another great sock.

Good quality & comfortable. Wash well.
