Delivery detailsFit: Athletic fit
Our men's waterproof hiking socks keep your feet dry when the path turns to puddle, from muddy fell walks to wet winter commutes. A breathable knitted nylon construction with a waterproof build means you can step through wet grass and shallow water without the soggy-sock misery.
- Waterproof build: designed to keep water out on wet trails, in wellies or on the bike.
- Breathable comfort: a soft knitted feel against the skin that helps manage sweat on longer walks.
- Athletic fit: a snug, mid-calf cut with ribbed cuff that stays put inside boots and trainers.
- Versatile: hiking, cycling, fishing, skiing, dog walks and the daily British drizzle.
Fabric & fit
Knitted nylon outer with a waterproof construction, mid-calf length and athletic fit. Sizes are given in UK shoe sizes: UK 6.5–8 (EU 40–42), UK 9–11 (EU 43–46) and UK 12–14 (EU 47–50). Choose your usual shoe size.
How to wear it
Wear on its own inside walking boots or trail trainers, or over a thin liner sock on cold days. The plain Black and Charcoal colourways also work as everyday winter socks with boots and jeans.
Care
Hand wash at up to 40°C, turn inside out and dry flat away from direct heat. Avoid sharp objects and trim toenails before wearing to protect the waterproof layer. Do not tumble dry or iron.

Measurements and fit notes are in each product's description, and our full Size & Fit Guide covers every category. Not sure? Email support@wardleylondon.co.uk with your height and chest or waist and we'll recommend a size.
A general guide to our sizing. Where a product lists its own garment measurements in its description, those take priority over this chart. If a product says it runs small, order one size up.
How to measure
The most reliable way to choose is to measure a garment you own that fits well. Lay it flat, smooth it out and measure:
- Chest: straight across, armpit to armpit, then double it.
- Length: from the highest point of the shoulder to the hem.
- Sleeve: from the shoulder seam to the end of the cuff.
Compare those numbers with the garment measurements on the product page. To measure your body instead, measure around the fullest part of your chest, keeping the tape level.
