Men's Fusion Repreve Double Layer Walking Sock. The ideal Christmas gift for the walkers in your life

Recently That's Christmas published a blogpost about enjoying Christmas hikes or walks as part of the many ways you can celebrate Christmas and welcome in the New Year.

However, if you take walking seriously to any degree you really do need to get yourself the proper clothing, or to gift the proper clothing to the ramblers in your life.

These are, in our opinion, absolutely perfect!

Men's Fusion Repreve Double Layer Walking Sock

Regular price £18.50

VAT included. P&P calculated at checkout.

The Fusion Repreve Double Layer Walking Sock combines the 1000 Mile double layer with additional padding for extra comfort. Made from recycled materials the two layers reduce friction, mitigating the risk of blisters. (Ouch! Anything that mitigates against blisters is 100% OK in our opinion!)

The mid-calf length 1000 Mile Fusion Walk Sock breaks the mould with innovative design and material technology to provide a sock that offers everything that the walker could want or need.

Big Issue North x Stanley Chow x Stand4Socks: Limited-Edition Socks for Christmas

Big Issue North is again partnering with celebrated Manchester artist Stanley Chow and sock specialists Stand4Socks to bring you a limited-edition series of cozy, festive socks with a charitable twist. Which will make ideal and iconic stocking fillers (no pun intended) for this Christmas.

These limited-edition designs will recipients warm and stylish whilst also supporting those in need across the north of England. 

Every pair you buy directly contributes to Big Issue North’s mission, which is empowering people who are  experiencing poverty to earn an income, gain stability, and transform their lives.

This year’s collection includes two new exclusive designs by Stanley Chow. Stanley’s iconic illustrations have earned him acclaim worldwide, with projects spanning from collaborations with The White Stripes to covers for The New York Times. 

This exclusive sock series embodies Stanley’s signature style, featuring a graphic, minimalist pixel design and a Christmas Elf design. His unmistakable style makes each pair of a piece of wearable art.

“I got the chance to design the pair of socks I’ve always wanted to wear and selling them will help raise money for a charity that I wholeheartedly support,” said Stanley Chow. “What’s not to like about that?!”

Priced at £12.99 per pair or £29.99 for all three designs, 100% of profits from each sale go directly to Big Issue North. 

As a result, every purchase supports people in the North West, Yorkshire and the Humber who are working by selling the Big Issue magazine, providing them with the opportunity to earn income, develop skills, and gain independence.

Stand4Socks, which is a Manchester-based company, is fsmed for their high-quality, personalised socks. 

Their ethos is centred on giving back; for each pair of charity socks sold, Stand4Socks donates a durable, antibacterial pair of socks to someone experiencing homelessness. 

Since their inception, Stand4Socks have donated over 150,000 socks, ensuring comfort and warmth reach those who need it the most.

So, when you choose a pair of Big Issue North’s socks, you’re not only helping Big Issue North vendors, but also helping someone who is homeless to keep warm this winter.

Their limited-edition Stanley Chow designs are only available for a short period of time. Shop now, support your Big Issue North vendor, and help people experiencing homelessness this Christmas: Big Issue North x Stand4 Socks Collaboration.
