Bridgedale CoolMax Liner Sock - 2 Pack - Men's

Found my first pair in an out door shop at about the half-way mark of the (92 mile) Cotswald Way. I had never heard of sock liners before. I was dealing with a blister and a "hot spot" and was blessed the rest of the way thanks to the liners.

Found similar products in the US when I returned; but none of the other brands came close in terms of all day performance; so I Googled them.

Mark me down as being greatly relieved because this year it is the 192 mile Coast to Coast trail and, because the CtoC is much further North - and runs east to west....I would be no where close to the shop where I first discovered them.

Good liners. The heal cup band thingies you see in the pictures actually do hold the socks in place fairly well.
I was... pleasantly surprised by these socks.

Like the other person I took a chance picking these up, yes they were on sale so it made it easier. I can say comparing them to the REI brand, and Smartwool they stack up just fine. No complaints and nothing that I can see that would cause someone else to complain. Again I didn't use them with Bridgedales.

I used to get major blisters, plus my feet get hot and sweaty while hiking. No more with these babies on. I pair them with heavy duty hiking socks, and I use body glide on the trouble spots. No problems so far. Happy feet = happy hikers Recommended!

Bridgedale socks are normally a 9/10 for wicking; when worn with these, they are 10/10.

most confusing here is that anything except pure wool & cotten knocks my skin for a loop...these tho defied all reason...wore them with & without the Darn Tough Full Merino's...and great runs for their breakin of city concrete with hills...ok, i still love my Brashers from UK yet these really held up even when I slammed my baby toe into the backpack one night and ended up with four toes strapped together ...comfortable (full stop)! no burns, no problems!
