Friends of the Boundary Waters x Hippy Feet Merino Wool Native Lake Trout Hiking Crews
There are a hundred reasons to paddle your way through the pine-scented silence of Northern Minnesota’s Boundary Waters, the mirrored lakes, the loon's cry, the chance to leave behind everything except what you can carry on your back. But for some of us, it’s all about the fish.
The Lake Trout is one of only two native trout species in Minnesota (depending who you ask, shoutout to the fly fishing purists who insist it’s not a trout, but a Char). And they’d be right, Salvelinus namaycush "Dweller of the Deep", if we’re getting fancy. Cold, deep, and elusive, these fish are a prized catch for anyone who’s laced up their boots and hiked to the lake with nothing but a rod and some optimism.
These socks are a nod to the resilient fish that waits in the depths, the swimming through the brisk lakes of the North. A favorite of our Founder, second only to the Brookie. Slip on these cozy merino wool crews and get your line set!
Made in the USA. Inspired by the North. Built for anywhere.
Show your love for the beautiful fish found in our Boundary Waters with these Deep Lake Blue merino wool crew socks that feature the cold-toned colors of Minnesota's native Brook Trout (char).

Sustainability
Protecting the Planet
When you buy quality, you replace your products less often. That's why our socks are made to last. Every pair of our wool socks are knit using sustainably produced ultra soft merino wool yarns. Merino wool is an animal fiber that is naturally antimicrobial, heat regulating, and moisture-wicking. The merino wool in Hippy Feet sock comes from sheep ethically raised in New Zealand.
