Best Golf Socks 2024

What are the best golf socks for maximum on-course comfort? 

When it comes to comfort, it’s important to get the basics right – so we decided to put together a guide for one of golf’s most famously overlooked wardrobe components: socks.

There’s nothing quite so dispiriting as trudging from one hole to the next with feet that are too damp, too cold or too sweaty. However, with the right pair of golf socks you can wave goodbye to any unnecessary on-course discomfort, enabling you to focus more attentively on the game in-hand.

In the clutch moment, when the margin for error is at its most slim – wearing a comfy yet practical pair of socks might just be what helps you to turn a good shot into a great shot.

Together with our guide on the best waterproof golf shoes, we hope this list will help you reach unforeseen levels of below-ankle luxury.

Of course, it’s not just our feet that get too hot or too cold during a tough 18 holes, so make sure to check out our other ‘best of’ guides on thermal golf jackets, base layers, and beanie hats maximum golfing enjoyment whatever the weather.

ProTrek socks have been designed to offer the very best in comfort, durability and moisture management for those participating in every outdoor activity. Constructed with a scientifically engineered wooltech fabric, the socks feature high-density cushioning, ventilated mesh zones, arch support, and reinforced heel and toe areas. I find myself wearing them most days due to their versatility, be it for walking the dogs, trekking in the foothills of Snowdonia, or lumbering my bag around 18 holes at the weekend.

Also available in the ProTrek collection are the brand's dual-skin anti-blister socks, perfect for bedding in new hiking boots or golf shoes if you are prone to blisters. I have fairly narrow feet so find the added cushioning from these socks preferable to a standard lightweight sport sock, boosting comfort and security. The ProTrek collection also includes a lightweight model, ideal for walking in warmer conditions.

With over 135 years of experience, HJ Hall is a trusted sock specialist in the UK, known for constant innovation and attention to detail since 1882. There is also an unconditional 6-month guarantee which demonstrates the confidence HJ Hall has in the quality of their products.
