Snug fitting, dense weave, ergonomic
As a long term fan and wearer of Bridgedale socks, I've occasionally found myself wearing footwear that is a little tighter on the feet for accommodating thicker pairs of walking socks.Enter Danish Ensurance. I bagged some pairs at discounted price and can report1. They are snug fitting. I took the large size for size 9, and even then they fit pretty tight. Stretchy enough to he comfortable but I wouldn't fancy wearing them if my feet were any larger.2. I have pretty slim ankles, and after a few hours walking I had quite prominent ankle lines from the socks depressed into my legs. Not too uncomfortable but for anybody with a bit more girth around the ankle area I'd think twice about wearing these.3. They are fairly warm for being relatively thin. I tried them with goretex trail runners which have zero insulation (apart from the goretex weave itself), and even on a relatively cool day around 4 or 5 degrees, the DE socks did a good job of retaining heat.4. The socks are designed well and have a good ergonomic form fitting shape to them. All feet are different but I imagine most shapes will enjoy these.Overall, value for the money, the 3 pack at discounted price is a lot better value than the equivalent Bridgedale retail price. The fit won't suit everybody, but for me, I will use these happily for long excursions in the wilds knowing they perform well, and if push comes to shove they are also plain enough to wear with shoes on a cold day around the city without looking too hillwalky 😀

Cheaper than Bridgedale's & very similar
Good value, decent quality with a nice snug fit. Usually buy bridgedale light hikers & these are very similar in fit, warmth & comfort. Great price & would recommend

They are a high performance hiking sock for every day
I've knocked a star of because they start to shrink very quickly after a few washes to the point that they are really difficult to get on and squash the toes. Aside from this they are very good at insulation and moisture control to the point that they provide warmth in the winter and because of the whicking effect they help cool your feet in the summer. They are durable and the design helps to add a little compression around the ankle for extra support. The wool is naturally antimicrobial which helps reduce foot odor. If you get these buy the size up as they will shrink to fit you after a few washes.

Cosy feet.
Good quality, well made socks.Kept my feet warm and cushioned all autumn and winter. The longest trek was 14 miles up and around Snowdonia in pouring rain, sleet and snow. My feet stayed warm and not a single blister.I have bought some more and they are well worth the price.

Comfortable, breathable, and perfect for long days on your feet
I bought the DANISH ENDURANCE Hiking Socks for a hiking trip in the Peak District, and I can confidently say they’re some of the most comfortable and well-performing socks I’ve ever owned. If you’re serious about hiking or spend a lot of time on your feet, these socks are absolutely worth it.First off, the material blend is spot on. They’re made with a mix of merino wool, nylon, and a touch of elastane — which gives you the warmth, breathability, and moisture control of wool, with the stretch and durability needed for long hikes. The merino content makes them feel soft against the skin without any of the itchiness you sometimes get with wool products.They provide just the right amount of cushioning in key areas — heel, toe, and sole — which really helps reduce fatigue and friction. I wore them for several 10–15km hikes with mid-weight boots, and I had zero issues with rubbing, blisters, or sore spots. The compression around the arch and ankle also gives a nice supportive feel without being too tight.One of the standout features is how well they regulate temperature. They kept my feet warm in the cold, but didn’t overheat or get sweaty when the sun came out. Even after several hours of walking, they stayed dry and fresh — which is no small thing when you’re deep into a long trek.They wash well too. I’ve been through about six laundry cycles so far (cold wash, air dry), and they haven’t shrunk, bobbled, or lost their shape. Stitching is still perfect, and the padding remains plush.Another big plus: they’re designed in Denmark and produced under sustainable and ethical standards — something that I always look for when choosing clothing. It’s great to know that they’re not only high-performing but also responsibly made.Sizing is accurate — I wear a UK 9 and the Medium size fits me perfectly with no bunching or excess fabric.If I had one very small suggestion, it would be to offer some lighter colour options as well for summer wear, but that's purely cosmetic.In short, DANISH ENDURANCE Hiking Socks are warm, breathable, supportive, and built to last. Whether you're hiking, walking the dog, or just after reliable everyday comfort, these are top-tier socks. Highly recommended!
