Farm to Feet selected nine Appalachian Trail thru-hikers as finalists to be featured on the packaging of its Damascus Elite hiking sock. The made in the USA sock company is inviting the public to vote for their favorite male and female finalist at farmtofeet.com.
Farm to Feet selected the finalists from more than 100 Appalachian Trail thru-hikers interviewed last spring at the annual Trail Days event in Damascus, VA.
“All the thru-hikers we met at Trail Days had amazing and inspiring stories, but the stories from these nine truly stood out,” said David Petri, Farm to Feet VP of marketing.
