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.
