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
