Both brands are Australian and offer a good mix of natural and synthetic materials. Wilderness Wear specializes in merino blends.
That’s useful info, thanks! I’ll make sure to include this in the thread for those looking in Australia.
Here’s the link to the updated Footwear Information Thread where you can find these recommendations and more. Feel free to check it out and share!
I’ve been using merino socks from Danish Endurance, available in packs on Amazon. They’re cost-effective and have been durable for me.

Thank you for sharing that! I’ll look into them and see how they compare in terms of materials and cost-effectiveness.

Also consider checking out Decathlon’s Quechua range for another affordable option.

I use liner socks for light hikes and add a wool layer for boots. Liner socks help with moisture and prevent blisters.
Liner socks are a great strategy for comfort and blister prevention. Thanks for pointing that out!
For daily use, I stick with merino wool socks from Costco. They’re durable and cost-effective.
