Description Description

Cushioned bamboo sports socks

A quarter sock sits above the trainer line and below the calf, high enough to protect your ankle from the shoe collar, low enough not to feel like a sports sock from 1994.

These are cushioned through the sole and toe to absorb impact, knitted fully seamless so nothing rubs when your feet swell mid-run, and finished with a non-binding cuff. That last part is the one runners notice: elasticated tops leave a compression ring on your calf after a couple of hours, and these don't.

Light, but not thin

The cushioning is zoned rather than all-over, so you get padding where your foot strikes and a thinner, more breathable knit everywhere else. Bamboo draws damp away instead of holding it, and resists smells naturally, which is the practical argument for wearing these to the gym rather than a cotton pair.

Questions

Do these come in men's sizes? Yes, UK 4–8 and UK 7–11.

Running or gym? Both. The cushioning suits repeated impact; the height suits anything with a raised heel collar.

How do they compare to the hiking socks? Same seamless construction and similar cushioning: the crew sits higher up the calf. Choose on height, not performance.

Will they last? Bamboo is softer than synthetic, so treat 30°C and no tumble dryer as the rule. Done that way they hold shape well.

Sizing Sizing

Where they sit. Above the trainer line, below the calf. High enough to clear the shoe collar, low enough to stay out of the way.

Not men's or women's. One sock, two sizes. Pick by shoe size, not by section, so a household can share a pack.

If you're a UK 7 or 8. You sit in both ranges. Take UK 4–8 for a closer fit, UK 7–11 if you prefer a little more room.

4-8 = EU 37-42, 7-11 = EU 41-46

  • Recyclable and compostable materials only

The comfort starts with the fabric.

We don't just style socks differently. We make them from bamboo, and that's the bit a cotton pair can't copy.

Impossibly soft

Bamboo makes a smoother fabric than cotton, so it feels closer to silk than to a scratchy weave.

Breathes & regulates

Naturally breathable and temperature-clever: cool when it's warm, cosy when it's not.

Fresher for longer

Everything else you asked.

Do these come in men's sizes?

Yes, UK 4–8 and UK 7–11, the same sock in both.

Running or gym?

Both. The cushioning suits repeated impact, and the height suits anything with a raised heel collar.

How do they compare to the hiking socks?

Same seamless construction and similar cushioning. The hiking pair sits higher up the calf, so choose on height rather than performance.

Will they last?

Bamboo is softer than synthetic, so treat 30°C and no tumble dryer as the rule. Done that way they hold shape well.

Where do you deliver?

The UK only for now. Delivery is free on orders over £30, with a small charge below that, and express is available at checkout.
