CEP Hiking Merino Mid Cut Compression Socks: first impressions
CEP describes these hiking socks as “built for the outdoors” and we’re inclined to agree, given that they marry the performance benefits of wicking materials and supportive compression with padding just where you need it. Proponents of compression clothing for hiking claim that it increases circulation, reduces swelling and improves recovery, and while it’s hard to prove this in the field, we definitely feel great hiking in these socks which stay put, don’t rub and dry quickly, even when we’ve been walking through a bog. Made using a blend of merino wool and synthetic materials, these socks keep your feet warm on chilly days, but wick sweat nicely and breathe well when it’s warm out.
