Liskam
£19.99
Liskam are your go-to lightweight hiking socks, made using blended merino wool for uncompromised moisture-wicking performance and comfort when working hard in the hills. Run, ride, hike or climb - they're ideal for multi-activity trips or everyday wear from spring through to autumn.
- Crew length works well with approach shoes, gravel shoes or boots
- Blended merino wool with Coolmax and Thermolite fibres for warm, dry feet
- Sole, heel and toe reinforced with polyamide for added durability
- Wool from certified non-mulesing farms
Cushioning zones at the toe and heel give comfort and support to these high pressure areas while maximising breathability across the rest of the foot, and a seamless construction reduces the risk of blisters and hot spots on longer hikes. Increased polyamide content at the toe, heel and across the sole adds durability, extending the lifespan of your socks.
Merino wool is one of natures wonder materials. Soft and comfy against the skin, its natural breathability, fast wicking and odour resistance make it perfect for multi-day hikes in all weathers. Wool can absorb one third of its weight without feeling wet, making them great for avoiding blisters on warmer days. Coolmax synthetic fibres blended into the yarn help transfer moisture away from the skin faster, boosting the wicking properties of merino even further. Hollow Thermolite fibres trap warm air on cooler days making Liskam the ultimate lightweight 3-season sock. The addition of 2% elastane into the blend adds subtle stretch that keeps your socks in place without compressing your ankle.

Sustainability and Product Care
Care advice
Avoid snagging, vigorous machine washing, putting your finger through the fabric, and hungry moths. Those darn moths. Merino is naturally odour-resistant, requiring less washing. When your socks do start to whiff, hand wash it in lukewarm water or stick it on a delicates cycle at 30°C. Use a gentle soap instead of detergents if you can, and do not use conditioners or fabric softeners.

End of life

Non-mulesed wool
We only use wool from certified non-mulesed sources. Mulesing is a practice some farms use to guard against parasitic fly strike. We believe this practice is cruel and unnecessary and something that can be easily prevented by regular shearing.

Reducing our carbon footprint
We are carbon neutral under PAS2060 and offset our Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3 operations and transport emissions. We recognise that offsetting is not part of the solution but a point to pass through on a journey to Net Zero. Carbon Neutral is just a step in that journey.
We have joined the Science Based Targets Initiative which sets independent targets for us to achieve to do our bit to limit global warming to 1.5°C. Our targets are to halve our Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 2025 based on 2018 base year and reduce our total carbon intesnity by 15% every year to achieve genuine net zero by 2050.
