Bridgedale Hike Midweight Merino Performance Socks (Women's) - Blue/Sky

Bridgedale Women's Hike Midweight Merino Performance Boot

The Bridgedale Women’s Hike Midweight Merino Performance Boot sock in Blue/Sky is engineered for outdoor enthusiasts who demand all-day comfort on walks, hikes and multi-day expeditions. Designed to keep feet dry, warm and supported in a variety of terrains and conditions, this midweight boot sock blends technical performance with a women’s specific fit.

Originally known as the Women’s Trekker, this sock represents a longstanding favourite among hikers for its resilient construction and reliable comfort on long miles. The Fusion Technology yarn construction balances cushioning, insulation and moisture management for comfortable wear throughout the year.

Craftsmanship & Construction

These boot socks are crafted using Bridgedale’s Merino Performance Fusion Technology, combining high-quality fibres that provide durable padding, moisture wicking and balanced insulation. Engineered zonal padding across key foot areas enhances comfort and support where it is needed most, while the advanced knit structure ensures a close, stable fit that resists slipping or bunching inside footwear.

The sock is built on a Lycra® structure with ThermoFit processing to retain its shape and size after repeated washing and use, backed by Bridgedale’s Lifetime Guarantee and UK manufacture.

Fit & Comfort

The Performance Fit is contoured to women’s feet with a close, supportive feel that helps prevent movement within boots. A Y-shaped heel cup and elasticated arch help secure the sock in place, and a flat toe seam minimises bulk and reduces the risk of irritation in the toe box. The midweight design delivers sensible cushioning underfoot and around the heel and toe without being overly bulky.
