Looking for the best hiking socks in the UK? Capricorn Mohair Socks are quickly becoming the go-to choice for walkers, hikers, and outdoor lovers — and for good reason.
Here are the top five reasons more and more people are swapping out cotton socks for mohair socks.
1. Cool in Summer, Warm in Winter
Mohair naturally regulates temperature, keeping your feet cool when it’s hot and warm when it’s cold. Whether you're hiking under the summer sun or rambling through chilly winter woods, Capricorn Mohair Socks help keep your feet just right all year round.
2. Perfect for Sensitive Skin
If wool socks have ever made your skin itch or caused irritation, mohair is your new best friend.
It’s lanolin-free and incredibly gentle, making it ideal for sensitive skin.
The softness is unmatched — like walking on air from the first step to the last.
3. Wicks Moisture 3x Better Than Cotton
Mohair has excellent moisture-wicking properties, drawing sweat away from your skin up to three times better than cotton.
That means drier feet, fewer blisters, and no unpleasant odours — even after a long day on the trail.
4. Built to Last
Mohair is one of the strongest natural fibres in the world.
Capricorn Mohair Socks are designed to withstand heavy use, whether you're tackling steep climbs, long-distance paths, or just out walking the dog.
They keep their shape, stay comfortable, and go the distance.
5. Proudly Made in the UK
Our socks are knitted right here in the UK by expert craftspeople using traditional techniques and high-quality mohair.
This not only supports British manufacturing but also ensures every pair meets the highest standards of comfort, performance, and durability. It’s quality you can feel in every step.
“I gave up on cotton socks this year and found mohair socks instead. They're so soft and don't smell bad after a long day on my feet.”
Thousands of walkers and hikers have already made the switch to Capricorn Mohair Socks. Isn’t it time you tried them too?
