Bridgedale designed their X-Hale Trailhead Sock for those who like to run trails, scramble scree fields, and everything in between. Light mesh surrounds the foot permitting air to circulate. During intense activity, impact pads under the heel, ball, and toes provide next-to-skin comfort while WoolFusion construction helps pull moisture away from the foot. The X-Hale Trail Sock gives you padding and cushion right where you need for all-day comfort, while the touch of Lycra ensures a foot-hugging fit despite hours on the trail.
Bottom Line: The Bridgedale X-Hale Sock helps your foot breathe easy.
Bought these (and the multisport) for my man. He wears out socks! Uses them for workouts and for ten-hour days in the office. Only had these for a few washes so far, but I would recommend them. The only thing is they seem to fuzz more than some, but so far that has not affected the functionality. I love the color - we got these in the silver/navy/orange. We bought the XL for size 14 feet, and they fit perfectly. I have noted that some Smartwool tend to run small, which was why I turned to different brands this year, although I would still buy SW for myself (I wear medium for ladies size 9 feet). 100% recommend any merino wool blend over cotton, and this brand has my stamp of approval.
As it says, these are great lightweight trail running/hiking socks that come just above your ankle. Wise use of synthetics on the top of the sock allows them to breathe very well and the lycra gives the sock a "hugging" feel. I've only had them a short time, so we will see how well they hold up over time.
Male size 12 shoe would I be a medium or a large? Also will the extra padding on these interfere with the custom orthodics I have in my shoes? Thanks for the help
Go for size large - fits from shoe size 10-12.5. The padding won't interfere with your custom footbeds, the sock is designed with zonal padding in key areas, but is an overall low volume sock.
I wear these when wearing my merrill snowmotion 6's. Can not express how good they feel on my feet. ive worn them in temps down to about 5 and my feet stayed warm. love them, love them, love them. Im looking forward to buying Bridgedale socks for working in a professional kitchen to keep my feet happy there as well.
I have been gett'n back into runnning lately & have some older Salomons that are falling apart , these socks are amazing as they're thicker in the areas you need ( Heel ,etc ) , they wick moisture away , not too hot & but keep your feet warm even in 5c temps or less here in sth island , New Zealand . They make my old runners feel like new again & now i have my new Salomon XT Wings WP's , they feel amazing, feet are so comfy & warm , its like they're on holiday down they're when i am running (-:. I plan to roder a few pairs thru back countty soon as they're way to expensive down here !
