The Salewa Mountain Trainer Merino Quarter Socks Men in Bungee Cord are quarter height hiking socks in a 52 percent merino blend, cut to cover the ankle completely above a mid or high cut boot. Terry cushioning underfoot and a reinforced heel put the padding where a mountain boot presses.

• Quarter height: the cut covers the whole ankle, which is what stops a stiff boot cuff rubbing bare skin.
• 52 percent merino wool: the merino content regulates temperature and resists odour over consecutive days.
• Terry cushioned footbed: the looped pile underfoot absorbs the impact that a rigid mountain sole transmits.
• Reinforced heel: the heel is reinforced where boot friction wears socks through first.
• Seamless toe: the toe is knitted without a seam, so there is no ridge to press against the toes inside a boot.
• Close fitting anti slip cuff: the cuff holds position rather than working its way down into the boot.
• Made in Italy: sizes 39-41, 42-44 and 45-47, with more than half natural fibre content.
