1000 mile socks

[jacob]

Although it seems like decades ago, it has only been a year + something I was in Scotland. In the little supermarket in Kinlochewe I bought some 1000 mile socks 3 seasons, after Alterknacker advised them here in the online world.

I fell in love immediately and thought I'd never buy any other socks ever again. But,...... In the NL, on mainland Europe, they're only for sale via the "Dutch Amazon" bol.com, at least as far as I know.

So I bought a pair, I think above UK prices, and got them delivered today. However, the socks I bought in Kinlochewe had this white polyamide (?) inner layer which I thought was the unmistakenable 1000 mile socks effect. The socks that got delivered today had nothing of this kind, and were more standard 3 season hiking socks with terrycloth on the inside.

Has anyone any information on how I can recognize the special inner layer from standard hiking socks, just by name or outer looks?

Many thanks in advance

You can order directly from the 1000 mile sock website and I've had to contact them in the past and they are very helpful and respond quickly, so you can ask them directly for advice as they do have a very large range.

They also have a Dutch distributor so you might be able to order directly from them.

Just adding to Marty's post (since I was slightly slow looking).
I'm thinking that you would need those described as double layer, e.g. some but not all shown on https://www.1000mile.co.uk/collections/1000-mile-walking-socks - and where the list of materials includes Tactel (which is used for the inner layer).

If only they did hiking trousers too...

Thanks all 3 for replying.
@MartyJG: I seem to remember 1000 mile doesn't deliver abroad, but I might be wrong. I'll give it a good second check. And the Dutch website seems a bit odd: it doesn't show products, it only promotes itself for personalising sportswear with prints and what have you.
@Driftwood: I hadn't noticed the mentioned double layer before on 1000M website before. If ordering abroad isn't possible I could at least compare socks from the original website and the "dutch amazon-like clone", the latter of which doesn't specify the double layers.
@Caberfeidh: And undies, while we're at it.
