Premium merino hiking socks praised for exceptional comfort and durability. Customers said they prevent blisters and provide excellent cushioning even on 15-mile treks. "Supremely comfortable even in hot weather." Most loved the warmth and quality, though some found sizing inconsistent with tops being tight or toe areas too loose.

just spent a week hiking around wales and cannot believe that after 5 days (😬) these socks still feel fresh and comfortable. No blisters, and will definitely be buying a few more pairs 😇
Graeme - Thanks taking the time to share you feedback having worn our Scottish made sock. Hope the hiking was amazing and there was no rain! Team Moggans

Most I have ever spent on socks but can honestly not disappointed at all. Supremely comfortable even in the hot weather my feet have not felt like they were sweating. I was skeptical about the protection from heel rub and blisters but they have proven true and saved me a lot on a new pair of boots. Highly recommended, will be buying more.

I have been trialling hiking socks for my charity Kilimanjaro trek in January 2027 and these socks have outperformed everything i have tried!
I have recommended them to all my fellow Kili trekkers!
The socks feel a bit big on the foot at first, however this works brilliantly when its in the boot as your feet can move freely. Highly recommend!
Thanks Louise — that is fantastic feedback. If the Stravaigers have won a place on your Kilimanjaro kit after all that testing, we're doing something right. Best of luck to you and the rest of the Kili team for January — please let us know how they perform on the mountain. Team Moggans.

These are the best socks I have ever hiked in! I have no foot pain nor tired feet even after a long 15 miles. I love them.

My new socks have been fab for long trekking. They feel so warm and comfortable. They really cushion my feet. I had unfortunately stepped on a small shard of glass and they actually made it feel fine when I walked. It was also so important to me that the wool was gathered with kindness to the sheep.

I purchased correct size of sock. These socks are not suitable for hiking. They do not hold shape and slip around inside boot which makes it uncomfortable. Extremely loose around toe area. Very disappointed.

Great product. Great socks.

Lovely soft socks to wear, well fitting, comfortable and warm. The only issue is the top of the sock being a wee bit tight but as I am wearing them with boots I am rolling the top if the socks over the top of my boots which I am sure will stretch the sock top a wee bit. I am sure this won’t be an issue for most for most wearers of this sock. Very happy with my purchase.

Ease of ordering, quick to arrive, nice personal note with the order.
The socks are amazing, warm, soft, comfortable and fit perfectly

I got a pair of Stravaigers to see how I got on with them in winter & the Alps. Generally no problem but they have too much padding at the toes for me. As my feet are very wide at the toes I wish Moggans would make a version with just padding at the heel & not the toes, to free up some space for freaks like me!

Love the socks but they weren’t quite as high as they looked as if they might be, and I am a ladies size 5 and they were too big. But as I say, love the socks. I’ll buy another pair of your longer ones instead.

I'm new to Moggan's socks and tried a couple of pairs of white one for summer use with white Merrill's. Being extremely pleased I tried a pair of Stravaigers as my usual socks are a bit short when wearing my higher legged Meindle winter boots. Total result, problem solved! That extra few inches stops all the rubbing above my ankles. I'll definitely be ordering more.

Great pair of socks. Warm and comfortable. Value for money.

These socks are comfortable and warm! Only minus is the tops are a bit tight.👍

I wore these socks for the first time last Sunday on a walk around Aberfoyle. Despite the rain, sleet, and snow! my feet were cosy warm, and, even walking 8.5 miles, quite, a bit on hard surfaces, I had no blisters! So all in all, very pleased with my purchases. Thank you Team Moggans, for the quality and excellent service
