Why the Buffalo is built for walking & hiking.

  • 🇦🇺 Australian Made Performance: Knitted in Australia for local conditions
  • 🛡 Sculptured Toe Box: Maximum comfort and durability for technical rock scrambles.
  • ⛰ High Achilles Guard: Extra reinforcement to eliminate boot rub and friction.
  • 🏆 Full Merino Lightweight Footbed: Natural temperature control and moisture management.

Built for the Grind. Engineered for the Trail. 

The GearSocks Buffalo isn't just a hiking sock—it’s a piece of technical equipment. Designed for those who venture off the beaten path, the Buffalo features a sculptured toe box specifically engineered to provide superior comfort when navigating technical terrain and scuffing rocks.

Stability Where it Matters

Heavy boots and uneven ground demand more from your gear. We’ve integrated a fitted arch support for superior stability and high Achilles reinforcement to provide a protective barrier between your heel and your hiking boots. No more mid-hike adjustments; just a locked-in, comfortable fit from the trailhead to the summit.

All-Day Merino Comfort

The Buffalo features a full merino lightweight footbed, harnessing the natural power of Australian Merino wool to regulate temperature and keep your feet dry. Combined with breathable mesh zones on the top of the foot and a modern ribbed crew length, you get a sock that breathes as hard as you do while staying up all day.

Tougher Than the Terrain

Reinforced wear zones at the heel and ball of the foot ensure the Buffalo survives season after season of hard use. Whether you’re on a weekend coastal walk or a multi-day mountain trek, these are the socks that won't quit.

What Customers Are Saying!

800km / 1.4 million steps!

Just thought id let you know i just walked the Camino Frances, an 800k walk across Spain plus all the incidental walking over 1.4 million steps in 34 days and only used two pairs of your bamboo socks for the whole trip. They have stood up to the punishment very well so that's why I just ordered more

Love them, will buy more

Perfect for my chilly Canberra morning runs. Haven't had any blisters since wearing these.

GearSocks Merino Locked-In Crew: Hayley, Australia

Sock it to me

A very comfortable sock made of Bamboo. They are light and stay up without being tight. However they seem a little fragile but that hasn’t stopped me from ordering more.
