Choosing the right socks at MEC
Choosing the right socks at MEC
Socks: we all need them, but there’s a little more to choosing the right pair than meets the eye. Everyday use socks are great for days where you’re simply relaxing around the house or working in an office, but it’s MEC’s selection of outdoor socks that really are special. Whether it’s camping, hiking, backpacking, running, cycling and so much more, MEC carries socks that are made specifically for your outdoor adventures. Made by reliable brands like Smartwool, Darn Tough, DeFeet and many more, you’ll easily find the perfect pair in-store or online at MEC.
Camping and hiking socks
Whether you’re tackling a rugged backcountry hike or setting up camp for a weekend getaway, a good pair of hiking or camping socks keeps your feet dry, blister-free and comfortable. Designed with moisture-wicking fabrics like merino wool or synthetic blends, they help regulate temperature and reduce friction, so you can stay on your feet longer. Cushioned soles provide extra support on rough terrain, while seamless construction minimizes chafing. Some even have antimicrobial treatments to keep odors at bay after long days outdoors. Investing in high-quality hiking socks means more miles with less discomfort—because happy feet make for a happy adventure.
Running socks
A good pair of running socks is just as important as the right shoes. Designed to reduce friction and wick away moisture, they help prevent blisters and keep your feet cool and dry mile after mile. Lightweight, breathable fabrics like merino wool or synthetic blends offer temperature regulation, while targeted cushioning absorbs impact to reduce strain on your feet. Many running socks also feature compression zones for better circulation and arch support, helping you stay comfortable on long runs. With seamless construction and snug fits, they eliminate bunching and irritation, so you can focus on your stride. Whether you're hitting the pavement or the trails, the right running socks can help you go the distance.
Tips for sock selection
Choosing the right socks is important to getting the most fun out of your outdoor activity, so consider some specific tips when choosing your next pair. Talk to our expert staffers at your local MEC about the activity you’ll be doing, materials you look for, thickness, sock length, cushioning, moisture management and more, and you’ll be sure to find a pair that fits you right.
