How to Layer Hiking Socks
Hiking remains one among the most preferred leisure activity for majority of people throughout the year. However, hiking during the cold and breezy days of winter or in the cold regions can be a challenging task as you can find it tricky to keep your feet warm in order to hit the final/finishing spot. Providentially, there are numerous ways available to keep your feet warm all day long in the freezing conditions by layering your hiking socks. Like the way you layer the rest of your clothing to kill the dog days of winter, you can layer your footwear as well. However, make sure to layer your hiking socks properly as they hold up your natural posture, absorb shocks, promote blood circulation, and keep your feet at good temperature.
The selection of socks matters a lot in layering and keeping your feet warm. Liners, lightweight, mid-weight and heavy weight are the types of the hiking socks that you can consider for better outcomes.
