A GENTLE MASSAGE FOR YOUR FEET
The combination of merino wool softly caressing your feet mixed with seamless stitching creates the ultimate comfort on the trail. Your foot will feel comfortable throughout, even after 6 hours of hiking or treks that last for a week.
Seamless stitching in the toe box reduces rubbing in sensitive areas keeping your skin free of painful blisters that can throw off your hiking schedule. And, no more hard hits on the trail, our light padding provides just enough cushion to make long hikes barely noticeable on your feet.
NO MORE HOLES
High strength merino wool fibers expertly blended for maximum durability makes sure your pair stay hole free and don’t wear thin. Keeps the same compression, form, and fit after many miles hiked and many hand/machine washes.
We used the Martindale Wear and Abrasion tester to measure the strength, durability, and longevity of the Silverlight sock fabric. After being rubbed by the device (simulating stepping) for 100’s upon 100’s of miles the Silverlight sock did not give in or show signs of wear. We passed the top 1% of sock durability. Then we had to stop the machine to give it a break.
TAKING CARE OF YOUR FEET ON THE TRAIL
Support in all the right places.
With 3 core areas of support. Your heel, toe, and mid-foot are amply fortified for long hikes on the trail. A slight breathable compression around the midsection that lifts up, holds the arch. Padding in both the heel and the toe that stays soft and cushioned after 1000’s of miles. Ankle socks are great for warm weather, trail running and when wearing trail runners and other lighter footwear, while the crew socks are designed to be worn with hiking boots.
TWO SOCKS IN ONE
Dual layer construction for compression & moisture wicking
To elevate the traditional hiking sock it was clear we had to double up to get the best of both worlds, compression AND moisture-wicking technology. The challenge here was creating a dual layer sock that was thin enough to not cause pain from overcrowding in the shoe and at the same time constructed to exacting standards that both layers would work in tandem to support, aerate, and comfort the foot. We’re happy to say after hundreds of hours of testing with some serious time on the trail we have custom designed that perfect balance.
TAKE CONTROL OF FOOT MOISTURE ON THE TRAIL
Soft, moisture wicking, and temperature regulating.
The Silverlight socks inner layer uses Merino Wool sourced from New Zealand merino sheep. The wool from this unique sheep has an incredible capability to pull moisture (including sweat) away from the skin and bring it to the surface of the sock. Keeping your foot dry and closer to being completely blister free. Thanks to the outer Nylon layer, Silverlight socks dry faster than hiking socks available from competitors. Thanks to the compression they also feel more comfortable while they are wet than comparable hiking socks.
FORM FITS TO THE SHAPE OF YOUR FOOT
Keep the sock in place when you’re taking on challenging terrain – like side-hills.
No more slippage! No more bunching!
We applied a gentle blend of spandex to the outer nylon layer of the Silverlight socks. This provides much-needed arch support (great for people with Plantar Fasciitis) but it also serves the purpose of keeping your sock in place and provides light compression for those long days of hiking on the trail. Snug on your foot and no more slippage or bunching up inside the shoe causing discomfort on the trail.
We believe 100% in the quality of the products we make, that’s why we have a crazy return guarantee. If for any reason at all you’re not satisfied with your Silverlight socks, we’ll replace them or give you a refund.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
There are very few factories in the world who are able to work with silver yarns and can produce dual-layer socks with compression at the same time. It requires state of the art machinery, that’s just been available in the last few years as well as knowledge how to blend silver yarns into the socks, a delicate process.
We have been testing factories throughout the world and we found only one that was able to produce Silverlight socks in the quality we require, a small specialized factory in China. Out of 15 factories, 8 of them in China, we were left only with one who is able to produce the socks that so many of our customers fell in love with. For a more detailed explanation, we wrote a blog post about Why Silverlight socks are made in China
Our production price is about twice as high as for socks that don’t contain silver. Silver is a very expensive material, but we believe strongly that to make the best hiking socks possible, silver yarn has to be part of the equation. Unlike most other brands we offer free worldwide shipping even for the first pair. By utilizing a direct to consumer (DTC) model without middlemen and savings for shipping when sending multiple pairs in one package, we are able to offer our socks for a similar price as other high-end hiking sock brands, for purchases of 3 pairs, even though we have much higher production cost. We sell 5-packs at an even greater discount, keeping pricing aligned with our true cost.
Our socks are the only dual-layer compression hiking socks with silver yarns on the market. Compared to most hiking socks available, this is how Silverlight socks are different:
- They dry faster, thanks to the dual-layer blend of merino wool and nylon/spandex
- They don’t smell. Merino wool is naturally anti-bacterial, however it doesn’t actively kill bacteria like silver does.
- They fit snug and never move, because of the outer compression layer.
- Silverlight socks are designed to prevent blisters better than any other sock.
- They regulate temperature and are great hiking socks for summer, spring and fall
Silverlight socks have a different text inside the rib top front for left and right socks. “Venture” on left socks and “Out” for the right side. We have also added a small L for Left and R for Right close to the toe section, to make it even easier to recognize.
AUA Special Approach to Customer Support
I thought I ordered 3 pairs of Large Socks, but mistakenly ordered Medium instead. They arrived in the time frame I expected and when I noticed my error, I contacted Customer Support for the exchange procedure. They got back promptly and offered to send me the large socks, and to gift the Medium socks to someone else, as they still don't have a working return address for NON-USA orders and are still in the process of fixing this for our returns and exchanges. I can't comment on the socks at this stage, but I can say this type of service is special, and very much appreciated. Thank you for your generosity and understanding.
CAGreat Discovery!
I heard about those socks thru "Chase Mountains" on YT. I was skeptical at first but he was so convincing about the no-stink aspect that I had to give it a go. Ordered 3 to save some $ and I wish I bought more. First impression out of the box was: they are kind of heavy, maybe due to the silver yarn .. I was scared they would be too hot as I like thin socks even for the winter sports. They are just perfect and I can tell they are going to outlast some other very well known merino brands (I own every one under the sun) maybe due to the higher nylon content. They WILL dry a little bit slower than a merino liner socks of course BUT they won't be any less comfortable and blister-free. The area where the socks really shine and beats competition is on the odor-free aspect. It really works, I stress test the socks by wearing one pair of them a week without washing (yep that's gross but I wanted to know if the hype was just..hype) while the sole of your shoe can stink, the sock won't! I'm happy to encourage a small company like Silverlight and they are now my go -to socks for expeditions and travelling abroad. Please make a thin, around 150gsm, well designed boxer brief and I'm a buyer for life! Thanks Silverlight
USBetter than expected. 1 year review
I originally bought these socks for a hiking trip. I ordered them a little too late before my trip, so they didn't arrive on time. But I work in a cold storage freezer warehouse. My feet would get sweaty & cold. & I would end up with smelly feet from the peeling skin and blisters from any other sock I bought. My feet would just get sweaty on just a regular basis. Until I started wearing these. I noticed the difference right away. After wearing these, my feet would stay warmer longer at work. I stopped getting blisters and my feet stopped smelling. I've had these socks for about a year now. Since than I have purchased about 20 pairs for every day use lol. They have become my favorite sock. It's the only sock I wear from now on. They never smell & they never get crusty. If you're someone that works in a freezer like me. I highly recommend them.
USParamedic in leather boots
I purchased these socks for my fiancé. He has the stinkiest feet on the planet. Especially after wearing steel toe leather boots for a 12 hour ambulance shift. He had to immediately wash his feet after work. Not so much when just wearing tennis shoes on his day off. Well, his feet are not only almost stink free (I feel like it’s normal working feet odor) they are DRY. These socks are incredible. I knew they would be because of the silver. I’m truly impressed and think these socks should be marketed to our EMS and military.
AUSilverlight socks comfortable
My son found silverlight socks and researched them, they were his Christmas present that year. He would not stop praising them, so I appropriated one pair and tried them, (yes we were size compatible) they were so comfortable. Now I purchased the shorter version for him, my wife and myself. They are awesome, so happy with them. I can recommend them.
IESo far so good.
Early days yet, but I'm impressed with how the sock holds it's shape, and it's freshness. If only the company made footwear to go with the socks. Now, that would be seventh heaven, lol.
CAHappy feet
Used a pair on the West Coast Trail last week and yes, stayed blister and odor free. The socks smelled better than I did haha. I recommend Silverlight.
AUAo far so great!
Hi guys. I puchased the Silverlight Hiking Socks and even though i have not yet had the opportunity to use them on a hike. I have put them through the test at work! 12hr days in sweaty boots is not ideal for any sock, although after the 1st shift. No blisters, no smell, no nothing. After my 3rd consecutive day wearing, without washing may I add, still as good as new. Looking forward to testing them on my upcomming 1000km hike in November but I am confident the Silverlight Socks will hold up to their reputations.
DEFriendly and generous customer support
I ordered 4 pairs of Silverlight socks awhile ago. After about 3 weeks they arrived, which I think is fine considering that international shipping isn't fast. The socks look to be made very well and the fabric felt nice. Unfortunately the socks turned out to be one size too large, so I contacted Customer Support to exchange my socks for one size smaller. They took about 5 days to reply but where very friendly and apologetic for the long wait time. As Silverlight's returns and exchange address isn't working at the moment I'll be sent 4 pair of Large socks. I'm going to give the XL socks to a friend of mine. He'll probably become a Silverlight convert too 😏. So yes, I'm very happy with Silverlight right now. I can't comment on durability or the anti odor properties yet though.
USNot just hiking, motorcycle riding too!
Wow, these are spectacular socks. At first it was really hard to pay premium for socks, but these are truly premium socks and nothing like it out there. Who would have thought that having a left and right sock would make a difference, but it does. And the yarns used to make these socks are soft but strong and perfect for motorcycle boots (or any boots). I came back to buy more!

"The fit and feel is just what I was hoping for. I have worn them to the gym twice and 2 hikes of around 5-7 miles each. They smell and feel as fresh as when I received them. On a scale of 1- to 10 with 10 being best I would give them an 11! Love everything about this sock."
testimonial2
"I'm not sure if I had ever had a sock match a walker's needs so well: stay in place, cushioning, comfort... In my 45 years of adventure activities. They are a highly valued innovation and will be on my feet from here on out. I have a new favorite gift for friends!"
testimonial1
"I wore them every single days for 7 days on the trail. I never washed them and they do not smell. I'm a fan, I think these are great socks. They were pretty dry most of the time and they dry out quick if we had to go through stream, so good job. I love them."
