Rather Good Black Merino Wool Hiking Socks That Actually Work

Look, we realise socks sound terribly boring, but bear with us. These are the sort of socks that make you wonder why you've spent years trudging about in uncomfortable nonsense. Whether you're scaling mountains or simply enjoying a brisk woodland wander, your feet deserve better than the usual scratchy suspects.

Why Choose Our Merino Wool Hiking Socks

100 percent Premium Merino Wool: Natural temperature regulation keeps your feet warm when it's beastly cold and cool when things heat up. One pair, all seasons. Rather marvellous.

Moisture-Wicking Technology: Sweat gets whisked away from your skin faster than you can say uncomfortable dampness. Your feet stay dry even during those moments when you're huffing and puffing up a steep incline.

Naturally Odour-Resistant: Merino wool is fabulously made to resist the sort of foot smell that might otherwise emerge on multi-day treks. You can extend those washing intervals without anyone noticing.

Cushioned Comfort Where It Counts: Strategic padding in the heel and toe prevents blisters from crashing your adventure party. We've rather thoughtfully reinforced the high-wear areas too, so these socks actually last.

Breathable and Built to Last: They prevent overheating whilst keeping you properly warm. The construction is, well, quite the showstopper for durability.

Product Details

Design: Unisex styling for all adventurers

Invest in comfort that actually proves itself on the trail. One pair tends to become several rather quickly.

THE RATHER IMPORTANT BITS

This rather lovely piece ships directly from our brand partner - we work with independent brands who are absolutely brilliant and work frightfully hard to create beautiful things.

SHIPPING DESTINATIONS
Now, here's the thing - our wonderful brand partners ship to lots of different places, but not all of them can ship worldwide.

Some are brilliant at international shipping, others prefer to keep things closer to home.

At checkout, you'll see exactly where this particular brand can send your goodies.

We're terribly sorry, but shipping costs do vary rather wildly depending on where you are in the world. The exact figures pop up at checkout - no nasty surprises!

RETURNS

We Have Lots More Like This.........

Hello, we are Sostter....

Sostter began, as all good ideas do, with a lively conversation and a shared sense of frustration. Why had the world of independent design become so serious, so samey, so… beige? Where was the spark, the imagination, the sheer joy of discovering something that made you stop and stare?

We dreamt of a marketplace that celebrated difference — where curious minds could explore a world of independent brands, design-led makers, and thoughtful artisans. A space that felt exciting, human, and beautifully imperfect.

Today, Sostter brings together remarkable people and their creations — from London to Lausanne, Brooklyn to Berlin — uniting makers and discoverers through craftsmanship, creativity, and conscience. Every object tells a story, and every purchase supports an independent brand doing things differently.

This is just the beginning. But enough about us — step inside, explore our world, and see what catches your imagination.
