Hiking season is in full swing, which means it’s time for a pair or two of new hiking socks. There are many options to choose from, but few that take crafting quality socks for hikers as seriously as Farm to Feet. For starters, the North Carolina-based company sources both its merino wool and the synthetic fibers from American sources and the socks are made here too.

Farm to Feet is invested in the hiking community and supports long-distance trails. The Chester American Trail Sock was tested on the PCT, named after a town near the trail’s midway point and includes the PCT logo on each sock. These socks were built for comfort, durability and with innovations to help with foot fatigue and reduce blisters. Farm to Feet also gives back to trail organizations like the AT and PCT. MSRP: $25.
