A line of customizable merino wool socks from Sock Source offers hikers comfort, durability, and the chance to make every pair uniquely their own.
Charlotte, NC, September 7, 2025 — Long hikes can test both endurance and equipment, and often it is the smallest details that make the biggest difference. Sock Source, a North Carolina company built on generations of textile expertise, offers a collection of custom merino wool socks designed to help outdoor enthusiasts go further with fewer worries about their feet.
Merino wool is valued by hikers because it keeps feet dry and comfortable in nearly every condition. The fiber naturally regulates temperature, holding in warmth when mornings are cold and releasing heat during tough climbs. It absorbs moisture while still feeling light, which helps reduce the risk of blisters and odor. For anyone who spends hours on the trail, that kind of reliability can turn a difficult trek into an enjoyable experience.
“Outdoor activity is tough on socks, and merino gives us a way to build performance into every stitch,” said David Wright, VP of Sales at Sock Source. “The best part is that customers can still make the socks their own with colors, logos, or designs that reflect their brand or team.”
The lineup features three distinct builds:
- Flat Knit is light and versatile enough for daily wear.
- Ankle styles add cushioning and arch support for high-energy activity.
- Athletic Cushion provides the extra padding and durability needed for demanding hikes or winter sports.
Each style is fully customizable, with more than 50 yarn colors available along with options for logos, mascots, or text.
Sock Source has been part of North Carolina’s hosiery tradition for decades, and its leadership sees this collection as another step in honoring that history. “Everything from knitting to finishing is done right here in North Carolina,” the CEO of Sock Source said. “That gives us more control over quality, faster delivery for our customers, and a chance to support the local workforce that made our industry what it is today.”
What makes the offering stand out is the balance of performance and personalization. Orders start as low as 60 pairs, making them accessible for schools, teams, retailers, and small businesses. Each order includes free design assistance, branded packaging, and finishing services that prepare the custom socks for immediate use or retail shelves.
For hikers, athletes, and brands alike, Sock Source’s merino wool collection represents more than just a product. It is a continuation of a textile story rooted in the Carolinas, now adapted to meet the needs of people who value both tradition and innovation.
