[@Impalaontrail]

Sweet vid Trev nice 'fro bro!! My favourite sock has to be injinji there them little toe socks great for toe spread and also stop blisters between ya toes!! Stay safe and happy trails bro 🤜

[@SummitOrNothing]

I have seen those socks, must say, intrigued to try them... perhaps I shall. Thanks for watching and for the recommendation

[@Deketh]

Big fan of the darn toughs, shame they're so expensive though. Always wondered about the danish ones in terms of how long they'd last. Good reviews mate!

[@SummitOrNothing]

The darn tough have definitely been worth their price, I'd say - I love them. Cheers for watching!

[@rooismum1023]

Thankyou for this really useful review.

[@theduke998]

Great review Trev (the hair) 😁 ...thumbs up for the Danish Endurance 👍 Thanks for another great vid ...very important to keep comfortable. (I was taught long ago to wear a thin pair under your hiking socks...no blisters)

[@SummitOrNothing]

Ah, thats sounds like great advice, although, as I mentioned before... so far.. never had a blister! Thanks for watching!

[@peterblazeby4783]

Very helpful trev,barbers are open mate 😂

[@SummitOrNothing]

Yes they are.... I'm saving up lol

[@craigbetts1586]

good review on a subject that doesn't get many reviews

[@SummitOrNothing]

Cheers Craig - thanks for watching!

[@Albert5522]

Great review thanks! Started an outdoor, early morning job working in and amongst nature, and have sensitive skin.... A recipe for disaster I hear you say, especially starting in the Winter... Found my synthetic/cotton socks were ending the day wet and causing my feet some issues, so looked to a solution. MERINO WOOL!!! Bought a cheap pair from a local store, 70% MW and first day knew there were what I needed. Better than the other socks in tougher conditions no less. And now I know what I need to upgrade even Futher! Will be purchasing the Thermalica and one of the final 2 you mention! Again thanks alot!

[@Appetite4Altitude]

I do like a pair of Smart Wool socks, Trev. Those Danish Alpine ones are fetching tho 😉

[@SummitOrNothing]

I have a great selection - will never skimp on socks again... cheers for watching!

[@everyoneknowsadave3580]

Nice review Trev ... Just bought myself two pairs of Darn Tough socks this weekend .... too hot to hike so I went down to an awesome outdoor store called Cabelas ... if you ever come to the states you got to go there it will just blow your mind ... I bought them cos I put some insoles in my hiking shoes and now my normal socks are too tight ... in fact they gave me a blister on my last hike (the one where I saw a bear 🐻 😳) ... these darn toughs are quite a bi5 thinner looking forward to trying them on my next trip... ATB Dave Mc

[@SummitOrNothing]

Never heard of Cabelas but have now been scrolling over the website - looks like a massive variety - cheers for the heads up! All the best!

[@barijohn]

Well that's just cost me £25!! Had to get some Merino socks based on on those days reviews. They are comfy!!

[@SummitOrNothing]

Sorry for that then, Bari lol. Hope they suit you OK. Cheers !

[@the_bogeyman.]

Did you try the icebreaker ski+ in winter? I like them a lot.

[@chriswolf1277]

With you all the way on the smartwool in different weights and lengths for 3 seasons but when it comes to winter absolutely swear by extremities heavyweight socks.

[@SummitOrNothing]

Ah, they look great... made in the UK too. Will have to get me a pair of those. Cheers!

[@chriswolf1277]

Summit Or Nothing the mountain toester model 👍🏼

[@kenhenley7599]

As someone else said, socks are often a "forgotten" item so thanks very much indeed for this...extremely helpful. Who washes your socks????? Keep safe, keep healthy, wear a mask in shops (but not in a pub) and keep sane! Cheers. Ken

[@SummitOrNothing]

Haha! I dont wash mine properly, I know that much! Cheers for watching!

[@brianmorrison9168]

Do you only wear one sock when using hiking boots ? I remember when folk would perhaps wear 2 or even 3 pairs of socks, rather than a single thick pair

[@SummitOrNothing]

Well, One on in each foot, Brian 🤣🤣. Must say these socks are awesome. Never had two wear two pair and never had a blister either.

[@vitalyfomenko7150]

А я купил себе от helikon-tex merino socks. Тестирую . И ожидаю от lorpen длинные. Первые у меня от decathlon. Понравились

[@SiegeHearts]

Finally a video of someone who has actually worn the socks they talk about! One question, I like to wear a dress casual boot (Thursday Boots) at times but live in a tropical place so its always warm. Which sock would you recommend for somewhere that is always warm? My left foot I find is more blister prone so been looking around.

[@SummitOrNothing]

I would go for a thinner sock perhaps, or more breathable at least.

[@Erehw]

I've got a few pair of Darn Tough socks and love them. For colder weather last year I tried Wigwam and they did pretty well for what I needed.

[@SummitOrNothing]

Ah, not heard of Wigwam, Matt - cheers for that!

[@HikeCamp]

I was starting to think you would not have the Darn Tough socks... I love them and I also have several pairs of Fit Socks... Like them for summer.. Great review.. You certainly can say you tested them all...

[@SummitOrNothing]

Cheers Max - I do love my Darn Toughs - great socks. Thanks ever so much for watching and for recomending Fit Socks - I will check them out! Cheers!

[@lewisartuk]

Why, who was the foot model ? Lovely ankles

[@SummitOrNothing]

That would be telling haha!

[@4seasonbackpacking]

Bridgedale trail sport lightweight T2 socks great for summer hiking and trail running. I had a pair Darn tough socks hike and trek 2 pairs both ended up with holes on the heal areas after one summer of use. Not the same ones in your review. I have sent them back over 2 weeks ago with there Lifetime warranty offer not heard any thing back yet from them yet. I be doing video on it soon. Maybe just a faulty batch. Richard

[@SummitOrNothing]

Oh that seems a shame that they didnt work out for you, Richard - I have been more than happy with mine - so hopefully they will sort them for you soon. Thanks for watching!

[@4seasonbackpacking]

@@SummitOrNothing Thought i update you on my socks saga:) i just got a two new pairs of Darn tough socks with the lifetime warranty offer. How cools that. All the best mate, Richard

[@SummitOrNothing]

[@outdoorsgeorge6896]

Nice one, cheers for the video 👍🏻

[@SummitOrNothing]

[@soggz4246]

Hi Trev. I find than any thick socks are good, providing you wear a thin pair underneath. Certain stops blisters and sweating. Hope that helps.👍🏾

[@petercrookes6423]

As a forces guy it is great to get a review after properly wearing them for an extended period... just ordered my darn toughs thanks to you. Let's see how they survive a few months deployed 😂

[@radupascalin]

what do you think about SILVERLIGHT CREW SOCKS? are they good?

[@SummitOrNothing]

I have not tried them. Will have to look into them!

You know barber's are open now 😂

[@SummitOrNothing]

I'm scared lol

[@michaelsapsford6013]

@@SummitOrNothing not more scared of the Mrs doing it surely? 😂 just had mine cut, ready for my first solo wild camp tomorrow on dartmoor. Only my second wild camp ever but the first one I had my 5 year old so had to man up on that one!! 😅 tempting to vid my new set up and get on youtube

[@TheQNSzzz]

Where are they made? ie which country. CEP hiking socks (full length and mid cut) are amazing - made in Germany by a long established company that specialises in expertly designed medical compression. Say no more 😉. PS mine got soaked the other day in non-waterproof hiking boots 🙄 Dry inside my boot after 20 mins.

[@SummitOrNothing]

Hi ya - I guess that if you follow the links in the vid description that may tell you where they are produced.. I shall have to have a look into CEP socks they sound pretty awesome! Thanks for watching!

[@TheQNSzzz]

@@SummitOrNothing Have a look online. I can send you a pair 🙂

[@johnofarrell812]

I'm walking 8-10 mile hikes since my retirement , last year.. On Friday last, I barely survived the last mile from a walk Hampton Court to Richmond, along the River Thames.. My feet were burning all around my toe area for the last mile. I was wearing good hiking boots but Peacock's cheap socks which I probably bought 4 pairs for a tenner. . A fellow rambler told me he had paid £19 for his hiking socks. I had never heard of hiking socks. Well after research I discovered this video on KZbin. Thank You for this advice.

[@SummitOrNothing]

Glad to have helped John! They do make all the difference. Most of these socks are still going strong today, about 3-4 years later! Well worth the investment!

[@andyboardman7052]

After 1 year Trev?? Ewww!! Can smell em from here mate 😂 I'm in St Ives this week and went down to lands end today,,I was watching the coast path thinking "Trev will appear in a minute" lol

[@SummitOrNothing]

Haha! One day you may well see me pop over the horizon, but not this week I'm afraid... blooming work getting in the way! Hope you enjoy St Ives ? Lands End... stunning part of the country! Cheers for watching!

[@hikingireland9278]

did not realise socks were so complicated, you have inspired me to try some branded socks instead of the thick Asda or Tesco socks that I usually wear for hiking

[@SummitOrNothing]

Not that I ever had a blister before using these kind of socks - but the comfort rating is amazing with these socks. I am just about three years in with these and only now are the pairs being used on a regular basis showing signs of wear

[@nosilverharbinger]

The only socks I have for hiking are smartwools. Most of them are their standard thickness for 95% of what I do, and one pair is thicker for when it is certain that my boots will get flooded or whatever. They are great, never had a blister, but I’m pretty sure that any sock made for outdoor use (provided you get your insoles dialed in) will do the job.

[@SummitOrNothing]

Cheers for the fedeback - there certainly are some great socks on the market! Cheers for watching!

[@TomAndJoeVlogsTJOutdoors]

Congrats on 8k Trev. Good on you being able to review Socks 🤣, seems like mission impossible to me.

[@SummitOrNothing]

Cheers Joe- yea it was a strange task especially as I had limited time to do it originally lol. Thanks for watching!

[@lacingtrails420]

Smart Wool are great brand, got a few pairs for hiking and their boxers our the best i have ever own. Experience brand but their built to last a really long time. Top video look forward to more.

[@SummitOrNothing]

Ah, didnt realise they did boxers too - I may have to have a look into those. Always on the look out for comfy boxers. Cheers for that!

[@xjessukx]

Another great review by you on a much over looked piece of kit

[@SummitOrNothing]

Cheers Shawn. Hope it helps!

[@craigelliott4338]

This just came up on my wall, Trev. You wanna have a try of the injinji socks. They're toe socks, and they are really, really good at blister prevention. My feet always get f#@ked up with blisters, despite my best efforts. An American Sgt I used know, lent me a pair of his and I immediately got some... watching this, it just came back to me. I'm gonna re-order some right now!

[@SummitOrNothing]

Funny you should mention that. I have a review here for those exactly same socks, strangly the only pair of hiking socks to leave my feet blistered at the end of a day's hiking kzbin.info/www/bejne/qnbNYaFvfKyCn9k

[@carolinesaunders6656]

Thanks for your interesting review. My favourite socks are the Injinji toe liner socks inside Icebreaker merino hike socks. Best way I found to prevent blisters between my toes. Comfy and last really well.

[@SummitOrNothing]

You are the second person to mention those - I may have to investigate! Cheers!

[@andystanley562]

Bridgedale merino socks are my favourites, do like the darn toughs too

[@SummitOrNothing]

Ah, cheers, Andy - I will keep an eye out for those. Thanks very much!

[@Jsarson1976]

I suffer painful feet and the darn tough is the one that helps the most 👍

[@SummitOrNothing]

That's great to know. They are great socks. Over 3 years in mine and they are only just starting to go thread bare. Better get some more soon! Thanks for watching

[@georgedpost]

Is it the Darn tuff or smart wool that has a lifetime guarantee?

[@SummitOrNothing]

Possibly the darn tough - I think I have thrown out the packaging though!

[@chriscoyle1221]

Hi Trev. Great review. Good to know there is a decent selection out there. I got two pairs of Karrimor hiking socks from Sports Direct and I have to say that I was pretty impressed by them. Kept my feet dry, warm and blister free on both a summer hike and a winter hike.

[@SummitOrNothing]

Yeah, I had the Karimorr socks, and whilst they did last a good while - after trying many of these pairs I can certainly feel the difference in quality and comfort! Cheers for watching, Chris!

For summer wear I’ve tried ‘1000 mile’ socks and highly recommend, with a a no blister guarantee or your money back (on the packaging) if I remember rightly. Great review again Trev, from one who really appreciates comfy socks 🧗‍♀️
