WARNING: Don’t Buy Cheap Merino Wool Socks!

In this video, I compare expensive Merino wool socks vs cheap ones. I purchased a lot of different affordable Merino wool hiking socks to see if I could find a viable alternative to my expensive Merino wool socks. And I noticed that I get a lot fewer blisters when wearing my expensive Silverlight and Darn Tough Merino wool socks. ▼ THRU-HIKING POSTERS (MADE BY ME & MY GF) Shop hiking trail posters here ➜ https://trailgoals.com/ (10% discount code: oscarhikes) Instagram ➜ https://www.instagram.com/trail.goals/ ▼ EXPENSIVE SOCKS MENTIONED IN VIDEO (affiliate links) Silverlight socks ➜ (Silverlight: https://alnk.to/4BECIUi) (15% discount code: hikemuch15) Darn Tough socks ➜ (Amazon: https://amzn.to/3OAg6QI) ▼ CHEAP SOCKS MENTIONED IN VIDEO (affiliate links) Dickies Dri-Tech ➜ (Amazon: https://amzn.to/3WU0bz9) Columbia Crew ➜ (Amazon: https://amzn.to/43gHNmh) Omni-Wool Merino ➜ (Amazon: https://amzn.to/43pCy3O) Kirkland Merino ➜ (Amazon: https://amzn.to/3WRmuoS) Alveda Merino ➜ (Amazon: https://amzn.to/3MQ3mTD) Fox River Liner Socks ➜ (Amazon: https://amzn.to/3oLuxXV) Merrell Low-Cut ➜ (Amazon: https://amzn.to/3MSzupV) Danish Endurance Hiking Socks ➜ (Amazon: https://amzn.to/3MW8PIC) Fox River Military Socks ➜ (Amazon: https://amzn.to/43pRuiq) Fox River Tramper Hiking Socks ➜ (Amazon: https://amzn.to/3OTErBr) ▼ TABLE OF CONTENTS 00:00 - Intro 00:42 - Testing 01:38 - Thin Fibers 03:02 - Materials 04:25 - Compression 04:58 - Padding 05:22 - Toebox Shape 05:50 - thru-Hiking vs Dayhiking 06:42 - Affordable Socks 08:22 - Final Words ▼ FOLLOW ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA https://www.instagram.com/oscarbrumelis/ https://www.tiktok.com/@oscarhikes ▼ AFFILIATE DISCLOSURE In some of our videos, we sometimes use affiliate links.
