Moggans

Merino wool socks are ideal for year-round wear because they naturally regulate temperature, helping feet stay cool in summer and warm in winter. The fibres wick away moisture, dry quickly, and resist odour - even after a long day out. Unlike cotton, merino stays breathable and insulating even when damp. Moggans socks use a high content of superfine merino, so they’re soft without being bulky. Whether you're nipping to the shops or trekking up Ben Nevis, they’ll keep feet comfy all year.

To keep your Moggans socks in top condition, machine wash them at 30°C using a gentle cycle, and skip the fabric softener. Merino wool prefers air-drying flat - tumble dryers can shrink them faster than you can say “wrong foot.” Reshape while damp to maintain their fit. Done right, this low-fuss routine helps protect their durability, cushioning, and odour resistance. These are socks built to go the distance, not just a couple of wash cycles.

Yes, merino wool socks are good for summer as well as winter, thanks to their clever thermoregulating fibres. These socks keep feet cool when it’s sweltering and cosy when it’s not - no sweaty discomfort or swampy toes. Merino also dries fast, resists smells, and doesn’t trap heat like synthetics can. Opt for a lightweight or midweight knit in warmer weather, and you’ll be sorted from city strolls to countryside rambles.

Quality hiking socks should contain 60–80% merino wool for the right mix of comfort and performance. This blend delivers merino’s moisture-wicking, temperature-balancing magic while leaving room for stretch fibres that boost fit and toughness. Moggans socks hit this sweet spot, combining superfine merino with recycled nylon for extra strength. The result? Socks that are breathable, snug, and built to batter the hills without giving up early. Browse even more long-lasting hiking socks built for the trail.

The most durable merino wool socks for active lifestyles combine high merino content (60–80%) with reinforced high-wear zones like heels and toes. Moggans take it even further, using recycled nylon for added abrasion resistance, and testing them on trail runs, hikes, and gym sessions. These are the socks that stay the course, even when your legs want to give up. A long lifespan means better comfort and bang for your buck. Curious how we identify long-lasting products? Here's how we do the research.

Yes, you can wear Moggans socks several times before washing, thanks to merino wool’s naturally odour-resistant fibres. They wick away moisture and help stop bacteria from taking hold, so your socks stay fresher for longer. Just let them air out between wears - many folk happily get two or three wears, especially in cooler conditions. Less washing not only saves water and effort, it keeps the socks in good nick for longer too.

The benefit of merino wool for preventing blisters is in its moisture-wicking, breathable, and super-soft nature. Merino pulls sweat away from the skin, helping keep feet dry and reducing friction - two big causes of blisters. Plus, superfine fibres feel smooth against the skin, which means less irritation from every step. Moggans socks add extra comfort with seamless toes and a snug, supportive fit, keeping sore spots at bay throughout even the grumpiest hill climbs.
