9km by 9am Winter walking tips – Alpaca Socks

OA website image template 23

Contributor, Nigel, started wearing Alpaca socks on my daily 9KM BY 9AM walks in February 2022 and found them to be a game changer.

As regards walking / hiking socks, Alpaca wool socks are my go choice, as they are excellent for keeping your feet both warm and dry as well as protecting your feet from blisters on long walks.

I now have 7 pairs, all from the The Yorkshire Sock Company see https://www.theyorkshiresockco…
