What Can the Portwest SK34 Merino Wool Socks Do for Me?
Made of high-quality merino wool, the Portwest SK34 socks are designed to keep your feet warm and cosy during winter time for various activities. A reinforced heel and toe strengthens these high-wear areas, ensuring you have a long-lasting pair of winter socks to last.
What Is Merino Wool?
Merino wool is a natural fibre grown by Merino sheep. Merino wool socks, are typically the warmest type of socks. As well as their insulating properties, they are also thinner and softer than regular wool, making them easier to wear next to the skin and therefore easier to wear all day. These types of socks are the choice for strenuous work, or work in which you're on your feet all day, as well as activities such as backpacking and marathon running.
Which Size Is Right for Me?
The socks are available in two sizes. To find out which size is right for you please measure the distance between your heel and the furthest point of your toes. Then with reference to the table below you can select the appropriate size from the drop down menu at the top of the page.
| Sock Size | Length of Foot (cm) |
| UK Size 5.5 - 9 (EU size 39 - 43) | 23.5 - 27cm |
| UK Size 9.5 - 13 (EU size 44 - 48) | 27.9 - 31cm |
Who Can Use the Portwest SK34 Thin Thermal Socks?
With the Portwest SK34 Merino Wool Socks your feet are guaranteed to be kept warmer for longer. The socks can be worn by both men and women, and can support those who suffer from the following conditions:

Breathable Socks
For breathability, the Portwest SK34 Socks feature ventilation channels as part of their design. Merino wool also has natural moisture wicking abilities, which ensures the socks can breathe and move moisture away from your feet toward the surface of the sock. This movement allows moisture to evaporate quickly instead of keeping it near your feet, causing sweat and odours.
How Comfortable are the Portwest SK34 Winter Socks?
The Portwest SK34 not only ensure warmth but also provide comfort. The elasticated legs of these socks provide a snug fit for the wearer, while a cushion foot sole provides extra comfort to the wearer with every step. Ventilation channels on these socks also add to their breathability for comfortable all day wear.
How Long Will These Winter Socks Last Me?
There's nothing worse than finding your big toes have peeped through holes in your socks, especially after only having them for a short time. To prevent this from happening, the Portwest SK34 socks feature a reinforced toe area, (as well as heel area) to ensure these high-wear areas have extra durability.

Our Guide to Finding the Perfect Size and Fit
Using Your Shoe Size
For most of our insoles, the easiest way to find the best size for you is to go off of your current shoe size. The majority of our insoles are available in a range of sizes and you can simply select the size that best fits your existing shoes.
Please be aware that, as with shoes, there can be slight variations in the size of insoles. For example a size 8 of one brand might not be exactly the same size and width as the size 8 of another. To help account for these discrepancies, a number of our insoles include dimensions to help you ensure you're getting the right size.
Measuring Your Current Insoles
While using your shoe size to find your best size is a good guide, it is not always foolproof. If you want to guarantee that your insole fit your shoes as closely as possible, we recommend measuring your existing insole and using this as a guide to your size.
To do this, please follow the steps outlined below:
- Remove the existing insole from the shoes you wish to use your new insoles with (please note that not all insoles are removable)
- Measure the insoles at their longest and widest points (see the below diagram for an idea of where this will be
- Match the measurements to the dimensions of the insoles listed, and choose the size that best fits your results

Where Can I Find the Dimensions?
The dimensions for insoles can be found on the "Product Details" tab (please see below) and are usually found in the sizing section of the listing, in a table. Please be aware that not all products currently have the dimensions listed.
The dimensions of insoles can usually be found on the "Product Details" tab
What If There Are No Dimensions Listed?
If you do not see the dimensions listed on the Product Details tab, please fill in the form below and we will work to get the relevant information as quickly as possible. We will email you once we have the information that you have requested.
Trimming Your Insoles to Fit
To get the ultimate level of fit from your insoles, you can trim them to make a small adjustment. To trim your insoles, simply follow the steps below:
- Remove your existing insoles from your shoes
- Line up your existing and new insoles at the heel
- Trace the outline of the insoles against the new pair at the toe end (see the image below for an example)
- Carefully cut along the traced line
- Your insoles should now fit your shoes better
Carefully trace the outline of your insole
Please note that not all insoles are suitable for trimming. Most insoles are unsuitable for return once they have been trimmed to fit; we recommend bearing this in mind prior to trimming.
