Now that hiking season has officially arrived, you might find yourself in the market for a new pair of quality hiking socks.  If that’s the case then look no further than the tekoMERINO midweight  hiking socks.

These durable and eco-friendly hiking socks use high-quality materials that ensure a great fit and keep your feet dry, blister-free and well-cushioned no matter how hard or long you trod.

Every premium performance sock begins and ends with the quality of the materials used.  The better the source, the better the product.  Towards those ends, the tekoMERINO™ Wool comes from Argentine farms that have been practicing environmentally-sound techniques for hundreds of years.

Teko also employs their tekoPOLY™ Recycled Polyester reinforced heel and toe so these hiking socks aren’t only great for the years of abuse on the trail, they’ll make your little green heart feel at peace with the world as your teko cushioned feet are with the trail.

More specifically to the point of performance, strike-zone™ cushioning used under the soles of these socks takes some of the bite out of rough terrain, and organic, chlorine-free tekoMERINO™ wool wicks moisture so your feet feel comfortable, not suffocated by damp sweaty heat.

For those days when the solar flares are rockin’ and you’ve decided to crank out a few more miles before setting up camp, these socks feature ventilation panels to help keep things cool inside your boots or shoes.

The use of smooth, flat toe seams eliminate those annoying ridges found on most hiking socks and to ensure a precise fit, the good people have interwoven Lycra for support and decreased bunching so you won’t need to stop every other mile to pull up your socks.

Did we mention that all women’s styles are designed specifically to fit a woman’s foot and leg? By designing the women’s socks with a narrower heel pocket and tapered toe, teko ensures that the ladies socks aren’t just a smaller sized version of the men’s sock.

Bottom Line….
The more you explore the outdoors, the more you feel compelled to protect it.  Teko is diligently designing and crafting socks with the least possible environmental impact, while never skimping on performance.  So save your heavy wool socks for winter, and reach for the tekoMERINO™ socks when you want to go light-and-fast during  summer outings on the trail.  You’ll find yourself reaching for them time and again.
