Bridgedale

Yes, Bridgedale uses superfine merino wool, which is naturally soft and hypoallergenic, along with seamless toes and non-irritating fibres—making them a good choice for sensitive feet.

Performance Fit offers a close, supportive fit with contoured knitting—ideal for long hikes and multi-day treks. Comfort Fit provides a little more room around the calf, designed for all-day walking ease and those who prefer a relaxed wear.

Elasticated arches, Y-shaped heels, and moisture-wicking blends work together to lock the sock in place and minimise friction, reducing the risk of blisters even on multi-day expeditions.

Lightweight, Coolmax-blend socks are great for warm, sweaty days, while thicker merino wool or T2 cushioned models deliver insulation and moisture management for winter or cold foothills.

Thermo setting locks each sock’s shape, ensuring it returns to the intended fit wash after wash—preserving comfort and preventing bagginess over time.

Bridgedale’s ranges focus on recycled and responsibly-sourced natural fibres, reduced packaging, and careful water and energy use. New lines also use mohair and eco-certified wools.

Yes—women’s Bridgedale socks are tailored with a narrower heel, roomier toe box, and lower volume fit to better match women’s feet.

Elasticated arches, 3D-shaped Y heels, and snug cuffs work together for secure fit, paired with Lycra threads for long-term stretch recovery.

Absolutely—ultralight, fast-drying models with targeted compression and moisture-wicking performance are ideal for running, biking, gym sessions, and hiking.

Turn inside out, machine wash at 30–40°C (wool or gentle cycle), use mild detergent without fabric softener, air dry (no radiator or tumble dryer), and avoid bleach or ironing.

T2 uses double-loop cushioning—“a loop within a loop”—for targeted impact absorption underfoot, which is especially useful on rocky terrain or long hikes.

Yes—ultralight and liner styles are designed to fit snugly under low-volume shoes and maintain a close fit without bunching or bulk.
