Included among the many reasons to visit the Boundary Waters in Northern Minnesota is the opportunity to pursue the elusive Brook Trout, one of just 2 native trout species in Minnesota. Now, if you're talking to any fly fisherman elitist, they will proudly tell you that Minnesota does not have any native trout species and that a Brook Trout is in fact a salmonoid, or a Char, and not a trout. The elites are correct. 

The Brook Trout, otherwise known as the Salvelinus Fontinalis, which translates to "little salmon, living in springs" is a personal favorite species of our Founder. He may or may not have this colorful fish tattooed on his arm and as the screensaver on his phone. Obsessed much, Michael? 

Show your love for arguable the most beautiful fish found in fresh water and one of the most abundant species in the Boundary Waters with these forest green merino wool crew socks that feature the red, green, gold, and white colors of Minnesota's native Brook Trout (char). 

50% of profits donated and a $1 to our friends up north.

For every pair of this sock sold, Hippy Feet will donate $1 to The Friends of the Boundary Waters and their conservation efforts. Help us keep our waters cool and our nature abundant up north in the BWCA.

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.
