Walking Bath's hills

Short answer: a knee-high you forget about, under shoes with proper grip. The climb to the Royal Crescent, the streets up Lansdown and the Bath Skyline walk all ask more of your legs than a flat city does. A sock that stays put matters more than a clever one.

• Length: knee-high for full days on foot, ankle-length for a short loop.
• Fit: no folds at the heel, because hills find every crease.
• Spare pair: one in a coat pocket for wet days on the canal towpath.

Start with the everyday comfort range, read our guide to hiking and long walks, or try Navy Runner if you head out along the Kennet and Avon Canal at a brisker pace.

Working the Christmas market and the tourist season

Short answer: a knee-high as the base layer, a loose wool sock on top when it is cold, and a clean pair for every shift. Stallholders, cafe and shop staff and walking guides spend hours standing still on stone, often outside in winter. Standing still in the cold is harder on comfort than walking.

• Layering: the compression sock goes on first, the warm sock goes over it, and the outer one must be loose at the top.
• Rotas: five pairs is realistic for a full week of shifts.
• Uniforms: plain navy, black and grey sit under trousers without showing.

Commuting from Bath Spa

Short answer: an everyday knee-high and, if mornings are rushed, a zip-up. Bath Spa station sits on the Great Western line, with trains to Bristol and London Paddington, and a standing commute adds up over a week. Students at the University of Bath and Bath Spa University tend to want something plain that comes in a pack.

The zip-up styles save time on dark mornings, and multipacks keep the cost per pair down. Plain and Simple is the quiet choice for under work trousers.

Getting the size right

Two numbers decide the fit: your UK shoe size and your calf at its widest, measured in the morning before you have been on your feet. Between sizes? Go up. The sizing and fit guide shows you how, the size and fit page has a grid to note your numbers, and plus size and wide-calf styles are cut genuinely wider.
