HIKER TRASH TRAIL MAGIC "HIKE TREK MID" | Durable Trail Socks Born for Continuous Walking

Comfort and durability refined on long trails. A versatile pair suitable for everyday use.

HIKER TRASH "TRAIL MAGIC 'HIKE TREK MID'" are mid-calf trail socks born from the experience of long-distance hiker Ryohei "SKETCH" Kawato and the technical prowess of Japanese sock brand ROTOTO.

Through rigorous testing on harsh long trails, these socks achieve a high-level balance of cushioning, fit, and durability. The material composition, primarily shrink-proof merino wool, provides excellent moisture absorption and release, heat retention, and odor resistance, maintaining comfortable wear even during extended activity.

These socks are versatile, performing well not only on trails but also for everyday walks, commutes, and bike tours. They are a pair filled with HIKER TRASH's characteristic free-thinking, seamlessly connecting mountains and city.

Among the HIKER TRASH series, this model stands out for its exceptional balance. It doesn't lean too heavily into cushioning, fit, or durability, but rather solidly supports you during long periods of activity.

Being primarily merino wool, it resists stuffiness, making it appealing for maintaining comfort from hot days to colder seasons. The wearing experience is largely neutral, making it a pair I'd recommend to those new to trail socks.

It also pairs well with cycling, and I find it particularly easy to use for touring and bikepacking. It helps maintain foot comfort even on trips where walking and riding time are mixed, and it's a highly refined model that feels natural to use both in the mountains and in the city.
