HIKER TRASH H.Y.O.H ”HIKE TREK MID”｜Mid-length socks for walking your way, in the city or in the mountains

A pair of socks combining comfort and durability, made for those who walk long distances.

HIKER TRASH promotes the message “HIKE YOUR OWN HIKE.” The H.Y.O.H ”HIKE TREK MID” model symbolizes this philosophy.

It merges the experience of long-distance hiker Ryosuke "SKETCH" Kawato with the technical expertise of Japanese sock brand ROTOTO. Comfort, durability, and fit have been refined through repeated testing in real-world environments, including the Continental Divide Trail.

The material, primarily shrink-proof merino wool, offers excellent moisture absorption, heat retention, and odor resistance. Furthermore, the piled sole structure and three-dimensional heel design ensure comfortable wear even during long hours of walking. These versatile socks are suitable not only for mountains but also for bicycle touring and daily use, blending in naturally.

Among the HIKER TRASH lineup, this is a standard model we recommend trying first. It offers a good balance of cushioning and breathability, providing a sense of security during long walks.

Notably, the heel hold is excellent, preventing slippage on trails and reducing stress on the feet. Since it's primarily merino wool, it's breathable and odor-resistant, making it useful for multi-day hikes and travel.

It's perfect not only for hiking but also for bicycle touring and bike-packing. I believe it's a true HIKER TRASH product, offering freedom to use it without distinguishing between city and mountain.
