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.

AUFab socks poor delivery
Socks are amazing. Unfortunately they did not arrive within the stated time frame (considerably later) so did not use on my hiking holiday as intended.
GBGreat socks
Great socks, moulds to my feet perfectly and prevents blisters. The best socks I've ever had.
CAgood and bad
ordering and delivery were without issue and on time. The socks fit and feel great. Unfortunately, 3 of the pairs I purchased showed unexpected wear after only a few hours. I sent photos to the company and received a prompt reply that this would be looked into. Indeed, a few days later I was offered an apology and told this was a manufacture defect and that I would receive a replacement package pending a few details from me. I sent this information and waited. I contacted the company again after several weeks, and again, nothing. The socks that were not defective are wonderful but I am not too confident about the lifetime warranty.
AU USGreat product
I’ve tried a bunch of different brands of socks for hiking . Silverlight hiking socks are by far the best that I’ve ever used . I would definitely recommend them . Thanks Kevin
GBSo far so good
These were recommended to me by a friend and are definitely the best socks I've ever had.They don't smell after repeated use and feel extremely comfortable to wear.I've only had them a few weeks,but am very satisfied at this point.
AUGreat in the wet
After watching reviews and reading positive comments i purchased a pair. I must say they are the dearest socks i have ever bought. Wore them on a 3 day hike (50km total) and they were amazingly comfortable. When is a walking pole not a support? When you forget to check they are tight before rock hopping across a creek! The pole collapsed and i stepped with both feet into the creek, waterproof shoes are great until submerged. The weather didn't allow shoes or socks to dry out so i plodded on after wringing out the water as best i could. I expected that night at camp i would see blisters etc and not one. Walked another day and a half to complete the hike and suffered no harm to my feet. Not intentional but I'm glad to know even in wet conditions these socks are the real deal. Will be getting some more and some full leather boots for future adventures. Highly recommend them.
AUBrilliant socks, keep feet dry and feet slip easily in and out of my boots and very comfortable. If you decide to make a business socks version of these, I will first in line!!
USmost comfortable sock’s i’ve ever worn
haven’t worn a pair of socks as comfortable as these. there are literally no noticeable seems that make hot spots and they regulate temperature very well. i can tell you im wearing these for a long while

"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."
