8. What is the difference between Standard and Women’s styles?

Since Bridgedale launched Women’s styles in 2002, they have been warmly
welcomed by female outdoor enthusiasts around the world.

Bridgedale’s Women’s styles are specially designed to fit the anatomy of the female foot, which is generally narrower, slimmer and has higher arches. A sock that is too wide will have a baggy fit with excess material. This excess material will bunch inside boots and cause unnecessary discomfort.

Available in a number of female-friendly colours, there are currently 12 Women’s specific styles in the Bridgedale range. For further details visit the Products section of the website.
