Outdoor Socks for walking, running and riding bikes
Alpkit outdoor socks are built for walking, hiking, trail running and cycling in British conditions. From lightweight performance socks for high-output days to cushioned merino blends for long miles and colder weather, each pair is designed to manage moisture, reduce friction and stay comfortable over distance.
Why Alpkit socks?
-
Merino & performance blends
Breathable, temperature-regulating and naturally odour-resistant for comfort across seasons. -
Targeted cushioning
Support where you need it, space where you don’t. Less bulk, fewer blisters. -
Quick drying & durable
Made for repeated wear on real adventures, not just fair-weather outings. -
Designed for British weather
Comfortable when it’s wet, cold, changeable or all three in a day.
Choose the right socks for your activity
Walking & Hiking Socks
Built for long days on the trail, hill walking and multi-day trips. Merino-rich blends help regulate temperature and stay comfortable even when damp.
Running & Trail Socks
Lightweight, fast-drying socks that manage sweat and movement without slipping or bunching. Ideal for high-output efforts.
Cycling Socks
Close-fitting and breathable for comfort on long rides, with insulation options for colder conditions.
Cold Weather Socks
Extra warmth for winter walks, slower days and camp comfort, without the clammy feel.
Good to know
- Merino works year-round – warm in winter, breathable in summer.
- Thicker isn’t always warmer – fit and fibre matter more than bulk.
- Blister prevention starts with moisture control – breathable fibres help keep skin dry and comfortable.
Designed in the UK and tested on real days out, Alpkit socks are made to last, worn hard and replaced less often. Fewer pairs. Better miles. Happier feet.
